8. manute bol
has gone from the nba ,to "imprisoned" in sudan ,and was "resuced" from sudan and came back to the usa. several nba players helped him get out of sudan and helped him here in the us. he`s been helping people ever since. i think he`s raising money for a charity.

10. I heard he broke a tooth on the rim on his first dunk!
He misjudged it--not realizing he would jump so high!
