Manute Bol, Hockey Star


Manute Bol to play minor-league hockey. No kidding. Fresh off his celebrity boxing match with The Fridge, Bol is going to become the tallest minor league hockey player in history.

By all accounts, Bol has never played the sport or ever laced up a pair of skates. At this point, equipment that would fit the Dinka tribesman has not been located.

Bol is going to become the tallest minor league hockey shameless publicity stunt in history.
