when he was spotted by universities Farleigh Dickinson and Bridgeport. Continuation see inside.
At the NBA Draft 1983, he vibrali San Diego Clippers for the fifth peak, but the league has announced the election is invalid and ruled that Bol is not suitable for draft pick. After playing the season at the University of Bridgeport, in 1985 he was selected in the second round of the team Washington Bullets. Over a ten-year career in the NBA, Manut spent four season Vashigtone, three seasons played for Golden State Warriors, four for Philadelphia in 1976, and one in Miami Hit.

He owns the NBA record for the number of blocks for a half (11) and a quarter (8, twice). Manut did on average 0.176 unit per minute at the site. In the game against Orlando, he managed to cover one by one, four shots per possession. But his other basketball skills left much to be desired.

* 2,6 points;
4,2 * selection;
