<< Previous Next >> -------------------- November 14, 2002 Thin man on thick ice Let's resolve this first part first: Manute Bol was not an NBA star. Yet all headlines say "Ex-NBA star to try ice-hockey". He was an NBA player and that's it. The "star" label doesn't work well for us. A star would be in the caliber range of a Vlade Divac, Elden Campbell or Jermaine O'Neal but he was never up there. Just in case you might want to check out his NBA statistics you can download our NBA stats database. The news that Manute Bol who played for the Sixers in the NBA, is trying for ice hockey, is something to be seen. First it was celebrity boxing and now ice hockey. Considering this is his first bout with the sport, won't the opposing team be on power-play everytime he's on the ice? << Previous Next >> Back to archive |
