Are you sure you didn't Google "Manute Bol?"

[–]CarlosCalamity 144 points145 points ago

He probably googled The Dark Knight Rises

[–]Aloysius_Jentee -1 points0 points ago

I wish you had more upvotes.

[–]hineyodor 10 points11 points ago

Or pituitary giant?

[–]dhicks3 4 points5 points ago

Nope, Bol is not supposed to have had any form of gigantism known to medical science. He had none of the hormonal and physiological abnormalities associate with known giants, nor any to speak of. He was just naturally really freaking tall, and this is what that looks like.

[–]Narhen 12 points13 points ago

Bol and Bogues

[–]mbrady 38 points39 points ago

He also had a cameo appearance in Close Encounters

That scene scared the shit out of me when I first saw it at age 7 or 8.

[–]Cataclyst 6 points7 points ago

Ender bro just wants a grass block.

[–]BoColdBlooded 11 points12 points ago

I named a long & skinny black smoking device after him. Manute Bowl hits nicely.

I came here to say..."OP and everyone else recently."

Beat me to it.

[–]darkhippo 1 point2 points ago

so much repost

[–]mmesalv 9 points10 points ago

Yeah. Manute Bol was just a ridiculously slender and tall man. 7 ft 7 and made Shaq look like tiny.

[–]FuckingHippies 17 points18 points ago

Made Shaq look short. Shaq is like 325 pounds. A lanky, albeit tall as fuck, dude like Manute Bol is not going to dwarf Shaq.

[–]cofcgrad 4 points5 points ago

I believe that is Manute Bol!

[–]bumpysloth 4 points5 points ago

The. Most. Open. Guy. Ever.

[–]despaxes 2 points3 points ago

he's on defense....

[–]HoundDawg3 2 points3 points ago

My first thought was "Holy shit, the guy in front of him is missing his right hand!"

[–]OccamsAxe 2 points3 points ago

The only thing I can think of is how easy it would be to break his limbs. I am a terrible person.

[–]Dastalon 2 points3 points ago

It looks like the guy in front is sticking his hand right through him.

[–]-Dezzy 2 points3 points ago

Im really glad this wasnt some pucture that made me shit my pants. Especially since i just showered...

[–]SocialProgress[S] 2 points3 points ago

I feel you. my friend from England asked me if the Slender Man was a myth or not since apparently it is American, but that was my first time ever hearing about it. I spent about half an hour watching Slender Man sighting videos than proceeded to google image. I won't be sleeping for a while.

[–]joracar 0 points1 point ago

You should try the game... fill up that time spent not sleeping.

[–]DragonTycoon 1 point2 points ago

Slenderman don't know what you honkeys be doin', makin' him all white n' shit.

[–]BulkTech 0 points1 point ago

Is this not why you are here?

[–]Kittyreyes01 2 points3 points ago

He looks like a daddy long leg spider.

[–]MeL0veY0uL0ngTime 0 points1 point ago

give him food!

[–]gassyexplosion 1 point2 points ago

I have seen this on facebook. That's how you know this is old as fuck

[–]whitewarrior 0 points1 point ago

yay University of Bridgeport

[–]isthatreal -1 points0 points ago

Googled "repost", it brought me here.

[–]goldenrod 0 points1 point ago

Damn, that dude is freakishly long and narrow.

[–]ajpod 0 points1 point ago

Jesus fucking Christ! I thought this guy was only in Legion, not a real fucking person

[–]gordo65 0 points1 point ago

A photo of Manute Bol? I guess people are getting serious about bringing WTF back to its roots.

[–]jglee1236 0 points1 point ago

What if Manute Bol got an all-white suit and a black head-sock and was the anti-slenderman for Halloween (before June 2010)... Would've been hilarious. RIP, Manute Bol.

[–]iCantCallit 0 points1 point ago

7'7" and was one of the worst professional bball players i have ever seen in my life. But he does amazing things for the people of Sudan (home country) and has given away most of his NBA earnings towards helping his native people. Upvote for manut bol! Only guy in NBA history to have more blocks than points.

[–]Judge_Hate 0 points1 point ago

How tall is to tall jones? To fucking tall.

[–]kittensareyummy 0 points1 point ago

looks more like an enderman to me.

[–]cakemix567 0 points1 point ago

I'd say Marfan Syndrome due to the tall slender appearance.

[–]Midnight_Skye 0 points1 point ago

  1. Slenderman is not black
  2. Slenderman is always wearing a suit
  3. Slenderman does not play basketball (as far as we know)

So where does google come up with this stuff?

[–]NiteShadeX2 1 point2 points ago

SpiderMon, SpiderMon, does whatever a black guy can.

Googled "Repost"

[–]SocialProgress[S] 3 points4 points ago

It blows my mind how people think that just because it was already posted, it is assumed I have seen it already and am trying to repost it for karma. I'm sorry I don't spend all day on reddit and catch every single post.

[–]PapauNewGuinea 5 points6 points ago

If you don't want to get called out on reposting, learn about karmadecay

[–]Tho76 2 points3 points ago

It was on the front page for a day or two..

Besides, you can use the search button.

[–]sathisher 0 points1 point ago

search function.

[–]one_is_enough 2 points3 points ago

We are all expected to spend five nonstop weeks browsing the entire reddit archive when we first join, then stay awake nights catching up if we ever go off and have actual lives for any length of time. This is to avoid reminding these pathetic souls who live reddit 24x7 that they have so little interaction with the real world that they have reached the end of the internet and are starving for new input.

Come on, read the rules! They were posted 478 days ago for the tenth goddamn karma-whoring time!

[–]Jake1983 1 point2 points ago

If it makes you feel better, i never saw it either. And if you hadn't posted it now, i probably never would have.

[–]Moiphy -2 points-1 points ago

It blows my mind people can't do a quick search to see if an image they are posting hasn't been posted multiple times.

[–]CarlosCalamity 1 point2 points ago

This is me right now.

[–]Moiphy 0 points1 point ago

Well, all I can say is don't get butthurt like OP here when the re-post backlash falls upon thee.

[–]CarlosCalamity 1 point2 points ago

This is how I imagine idiots that call out reposts.

[–]Moiphy 0 points1 point ago

Nice, I actually chuckled out loud on this one.

[–]CarlosCalamity -1 points0 points ago

Well whatever, I'm not here to argue, but still. You can't get pissed at every reposts you see. Just let it go, don't say anything.

[–]Moiphy 0 points1 point ago

Argue....the fuuu? How did it go from me laughing at a pic you commented to arguing?

[–]CarlosCalamity 1 point2 points ago

No, I'm not saying we're arguing, I'm simply stating that I'm not here to argue. Most of the time I talk with someone in this way we end up arguing.

[–]Eskelsar -1 points0 points ago

Oh, man, I remember the first time I saw this post. In fact, I think that was the first time it was ever posted on the internet, ever. No one posted it before I had seen it for the first time!

[–]llcbdavis 1 point2 points ago

is this real?

[–]uk2knerf 3 points4 points ago

Yes Manute Bol.

[–]SocialProgress[S] 1 point2 points ago

That was my first thought too.

[–]muffinator3 -3 points-2 points ago

Looks like a black spider missing 4 legs

[–]toasterposter -2 points-1 points ago

Wtf..

[–]Slayerdx5 0 points1 point ago

Put him in a morph suit and then a business suit and he'd scare the shit out of me

[–]sethtaylor7 -2 points-1 points ago

the only thing that is remotely wtf-worthy is that #24 has no right hand.

[–]Jake1983 2 points3 points ago

um... yeah he does. Look closely and you'll see he is pointing to something to his right. He is wearing something on his wrist that blends in with the uniform in the background.

[–]sethtaylor7 1 point2 points ago

I know, man. Lol, it was just a joke.

[–]Sydviciouz 0 points1 point ago

Slender man is a basketball star.

[–]cleansanchez[!] 1 point2 points ago

Very slender but an excellent humanoid who is now gone. Google and read up on his good works.

Rest in peace tall-man!

[–]pracher13 0 points1 point ago

The Dark Knight plays basketball
