Gentle Giant
While many professional athletes experience a paradise called retirement, Manute Bol represents a seven-foot, seven-inch exception to the rule. The former NBA big man and the league's first foreign-born player has yet to sip a mai tai or play a round of golf. Instead, Bol's life after basketball has involved an arduous immigration from war-torn Sudan, several stops on the reality TV circuit, and a life-threatening car accident. Not yet broken, the Dinkan tribesman continues to soldier on in hopes of raising money to alleviate the plight of his native people. Currently living in Connecticut, Bol donates whatever money he can earn to the Ring True Foundation, whether that fundraising entails strapping on a pair of ice skates for the Central Hockey League or boxing a 300-pound former football player. REAL SPORTS correspondent Frank Deford rejoins Bol to update the show's original profile of this selfless man.
