      Seriously. Wemby is already better than Bol Bol has ever been. A casual could see that they weren’t even close to the same league of prospect. For one, nobody for a second thought Bol Bol had any defensive ability.

      Shaq is supporting the kid. And there is truth in what he says. Someone can be like someone but an inferior version

    Shaqs just upset Wemby isn’t posting people up for 48 minutes a game while Pop is trying to get all the young talent on his team to develop. Thank god they don’t have a rookie head coach and they won’t be affected by the stupid media voices.

    as more and more freakishly tall guys with actual skillsets instead of being pylons enter the NBA in the future they will all be rated on a scale of 1 to 10 Bols (1 being Bol 10 being Manute)

    I don’t see it. Bol doesn’t even look nearly as comfortable on offense or defense on his best day. I guess in a way he does similar things but so do a lot of big guys, it’s the fluidity in which he does it, it all looks natural and is impactful where as bol is the opposite

      Bol Bol looks smoother with the handle and speed when going coast to coast. Looks more comfortable doing that than Wemby has so far. Obviously I realize this is just one tiny detail about his game and doesn’t really matter too much. Just wanted to say I think Bol looks comfortable in certain situations

    What I take from this is that Manute must be the nicest man ever for old heads to still be talking up his son this way.
