Manute was 7 foot 7 and played with Mugsy Bogues....one of the shortest players in the NBA at the time.
I had not heard this news, so Googled and found this:

He died from kidney disease, and a painful skin condition that may have been caused by kidney medication he took when in Africa. He was from Sudan, and was helping humanitarian efforts there, and building a school as well.
Rest in peace, sir, you were a giant both on the court and in heart. May your legacy help thousands to better lives.
Back in the day,he was my brother's favorite basketball player. I still remember my brother going to one of the malls to meet him. I'm so sorry to hear that he's passed on.:( RIP Manute Bol.:(
I read the news today. So sad. He was working so hard to make life better
for the people of his homeland. He was only 47 yrs old.
A humanitarian first, a basketball player second. He sounded like a beautiful man. It's very sad indeed.
He was another fine basketball player and gentleman from Africa who tried to make things better. RIP, Mr. Bol.
