RIP indeed.

Haven't seen a guy since him blocking 4 shots on 1 possession and averaging 5 blocks in 26 minutes.

RIP, first Yinka now Manute (6 years difference, but both too early). He was a beast.

Sad news, I think that makes three or four former NBA players that have died before the age of 50 in the last couple of years. RIP.

That picture of Manute and Muggsy might be my favourite thing ever captured by a camera. RIP Big guy. :(
