He played for the Bullets.


Interestingly enough, the Bullets had both the tallest played in NBA history and also the shortest (Bogues 5'3") at the same time in '87-'88.

They also had roles in Space Jam together.



Of course I'll remember Bol because seeing him on the court as a kid was a shock...so tall...but millions of people in the world will remember him for his off-the-court accomplishments...which is the way life is intended to be lived. Great man.
