Facts: Manute Bol and Gheorge Muresan of Romania share the record of being the tallest players ever to play in the NBA both playing at 7 feet, 7 inches. Bol was born the son of a Dinka tribal chief. His father was 5'10" and his mother was 5'7". His younger sister is 6'10". He is a Dinka tribesman who blocked shots for a living in the NBA, and has long tried to stop a civil war in his native Sudan. In his career, Manute Bol was not simply a curiosity: he was a genuinely good center.
Career Highlights & History: Bol's cousin spotted Manute's potential when he saw his picture in a newspaper. He told Bol he should use his height to play basketball. He first played basketball at age 18 and chipped his teeth on the rim when he first tried to dunk. In 1984, Bol came to the United States and played one season for the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. His coach, Bruce Webster, says Bol had "the longest arms in the world. He could catch and turn and dunk." After Bridgeport, Bol joined the minor-league Rhode Island Gulls. While there, Bol twice blocked an unheard-of 18 shots in a game! In another, he had 28 rebounds! The Washington Bullets drafted Bol. His first season (1985-86), he led the NBA in blocked shots (4.96 per game). Bol bounced around the NBA. He was a master of relocating the shot and led the Washington Bullets, Philadelphia 76ers, Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat to many great seasons. When the Milwaukee Bucks cut him in 1995, he went back to the minor leagues. In 1997, Bol turned his attention to Sudan, where he was briefly Minister of Sports and Culture. The next year found him playing ball in Qatar.

Luol Deng
Though a member of the Dinka tribe that produces many of the tallest people on the planet, Bulls rookie forward Luol Deng isn't one to walk around with his head in the clouds. Good thing, too. If there's one thing the 6-foot-8 prospect has needed this summer, it's perspective.
Since being drafted with the No. 7 pick in last June's Draft, Deng has seen his friend and mentor, Manute Bol, nearly die in a serious car accident and his homeland, the Sudan, turned into a killing field. Other than that, it's been a great summer for the Duke product. "With all that's happened, I just feel lucky for the opportunity to play in the NBA," says Deng, who will be one of the main rookies to watch when training camps open next week. "It's just going to make me work even harder."
A few months ago, Deng was on top of the world after having arrived in Chicago in a pre-arranged draft day trade with the Suns. With his Duke pedigree and solid all-around skills, the versatile 19-year-old was being hailed as someone who could help fill the Bulls' gaping hole at small forward. "I want to make a big impact," he beamed.
Deng's euphoria quickly turned to despair days later, however, when he got a call while visiting an uncle in Connecticut. Bol -- his fellow Dinka tribesman who had been with him in New York City on draft night -- had been nearly decapitated when the taxi he was riding in flipped and crashed on a Connecticut highway. The taxi driver was killed (it was later determined he had been under the influence) and the 7-foot-7 Bol was ejected through the windshield.
Deng was devastated. It was Bol who had taught Deng's older brothers how to play basketball in Egypt, where the Deng family had relocated after fleeing Sudan. "He taught my brothers, and then my brothers taught me," said Deng, who rushed to the hospital to be at Bol's side.
Bol survived, but the damage was severe. He suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck, a severe head laceration, a smashed left wrist, a shattered left kneecap and internal injuries. After a three-month stay, Bol has only recently begun to walk. "He's doing better, a lot better," said Deng. "He's still recovering. He should be out of the hospital soon. It was a big accident. He's lucky to be alive.
"What's frustrating is that he couldn't do anything about it," he said. "He wasn't even driving. He was coming home, he got in a taxi and the driver happened to be drunk. It was just unfortunate."
Ironically, Bol's accident only served to underscore the tragic situation in their shared homeland. Bol, 43, had long been active in helping his Sudanese Christians fight a civil war against the fundamentalist Islamic government. Most of his NBA earnings, some $3.5 million, had been spent on the cause. Now he lay in a hospital, nearly broke and fighting for his life. Meanwhile the situation in the Sudan had become a humanitarian crisis with over 50,000 killed and an estimated 1.4 million forced into exile over the past 18 months, according to international observers. TV news showed images of starving children in refugee camps, and reported instances of rape and torture by government forces known as "janjaweed."
For Deng, the combination of Bol's injury and the worsening situation in his homeland was a one-two punch to the gut. Though Deng moved from Sudan at age four, relocating to Egypt and then Great Britain, he still considers himself Sudanese. His father, Aldo, served in the Sudanese parliament and became the country's minister of transportation before moving to Egypt to avoid Sudan's civil war. "Being Sudanese, I'm just happy it's finally coming to people's attention," Deng said. "The war has been going on for 20-something years. For those people to get an opportunity to get some help is very important. Those kids who grew up there have seen nothing but war. For one time in their life to see something different or see something being done to help them, that's a good thing."
Deng hopes to help his Sudanese people by talking about the situation to the media. He also hopes that by working hard and being successful, he could further the development of African basketball so more young kids there can get an opportunity to play. So far he's off to a good start. He averaged a team-best 15.4 points and 5.3 rebounds while leading the Bulls rookie/free-agent team to a 6-1 record at the Rocky Mountain Revue, earning first-team all-tournament honors. Though as unpolished as any 19-year-old with a single year of college experience, he has earned praise from Bulls coaches for his willingness to put in the practice time.
"The main thing is I'm going to work hard," Deng said. "The learning will come. Coach [Scott] Skiles wants players who work hard, and he wants the team to push the ball up the floor. That's what I like to do, rebound, run, play the 3. ... I just feel I have a really good chance at doing something special here."
And if in the process he helps lift the spirits of his friend Bol, or raises awareness of the plight of the Sudanese, he will be one proud Dinka warrior indeed.

Deng Gai
2004-05 Gai declared himself eligible for the 2004 NBA draft, and attended a pre-draft camp in Chicago before withdrawing from consideration in late June. He averaged 3.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in three games during the pre-draft camp, and tied for third among all invitees with four blocks. Gai played three games with his assigned team, which included Seton Hall's Andre Barrett, South Carolina's Rolando Howell, Morehead State's Ricky Minard, UW-Milwaukee's Dylan Page, Michigan's Bernard Robinson, Notre Dame's Tim Timmermans, St. Joseph's Delonte West and Western Michigan's Mike Williams.
2003-04 Gai earned his second straight selection to the NABC All-District I team. Gai played in the first 16 games of the campaign, but missed the final 13 games. In his 16 appearances, Gai tallied six double-doubles, which included a career-high 18 rebounds with 17 points in the championship game of the Rainbow Classic against Hawaii. He earned a spot on the Rainbow Classic All-Tournament team, averaging 14.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.3 blocks per game. His 16 blocks in the three-game run tied the tourney record for blocks (Jason Jennings of Arkansas State in 2001). He blocked five or more shots eight times during 2003-04, highlighted by a season-high eight rejections against George Washington. In a three-game run against Hawaii, Michigan and Duke, Gai averaged 14.3 points, 12 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game. Gai blocked at least one shot in every game last season, which extended his streak to 37 straight games with at least one blocked shot. Up until his absence, Gai was ranked third in Division I for blocks per game (4.1). He led the nation for most of the season, as late as mid-January, before surrendering the lead to Emeka Okafor. The forward hit the 20-point mark twice in 2003-04, netting a season-high 22 points at Elon and registering 21 markers versus Fordham. He played 38 or more minutes in six games during the year, including 44 of 45 minutes in an overtime victory against George Washington (15 pts. , 10 rebs., eight blocks).
2002-03 Gai capped his sophomore season by earning NABC All-District honors, All-MAAC first team accolades and the MAAC defensive player of the year award for the second straight season. He started the year with a spot on the All-MAAC pre-season team. The sophomore finished fourth in the nation for blocked shots with 3.8 per game. He surpassed the 200 career block plateau in his 50th game, which came at Loyola on March 1. After missing the first six games of the season, Gai returned to action with four points, six rebounds and five blocks in a win against American.

In the NIT, Gai registered 11 points, eight rebounds and four blocks against Boston College.

Duany Duany
The ultimate journey
Duany goes from Sudan to Wisconsin to Final Four
Click here for more on this story
Posted: Tuesday March 28, 2000 10:20 PM
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - When he was 4 years old, Duany Duany and his family left the tropical, dangerous climes of Sudan. Thirteen years later, Duany left Bloomington, Ind., for Madison and an unexpected college basketball career.
When Wisconsin's season ends this weekend, Duany will be back home in Indiana, trying to help the Badgers win an improbable national championship.
Some time soon, he may return to his homeland and complete the cycle by helping in some way to bring about a much more important victory.
"I think about Sudan a lot," said Duany, his voice betraying a slight Indiana twang. "I worry about the children who don't get the chances I got. It's important for me to make the most of my opportunities and then try to make a difference."
Wal Duany -- Sudan's former prime minister -- his wife Julia and their family left Sudan shortly before a civil war broke out in 1983, one that continues to this day. Nearly 2 million people have died and another 4 million have been uprooted in the fight for autonomy in southern Sudan.
They lived in London for two years before Wal Duany moved to finish his postgraduate studies at Indiana University. Duany played on a Bloomington North High School team that at times featured as many as nine players who were the sons of non-American professors at the university.
Duany doesn't remember much about his native land, but he can't forget where he comes from. Last month, his father was appointed chairman of the South Sudan Liberation Movement.
Wal Duany has spent several months in Sudan recently, trying to unify the various rebellions against Sudan's government, which the United States has accused of supporting terrorism, bombing civilians and committing civil rights abuses.
Duany thinks about his father, but he also worries about the rest of his family. He has two sisters and a brother who played Division I basketball this season, something that might be unprecedented.
His brother Kueth was a redshirt freshman at Syracuse, and his sister Nok played for Georgetown as a freshman this year. His sister Nyagon is a senior forward at Bradley. What's more, Duany's brother Bil is a 6-foot-4 freshman at Bloomington North.
"I like to keep track of how everybody is doing," said Duany, who also has two cousins playing in Massachusetts. "We stay pretty close."
Duany Duany, who has a double name because of a Sudanese tradition for the first-born son, has seen his playing time fluctuate wildly this season after three fairly disappointing seasons and a redshirt year.
In November, he was stapled to the bench. In January, he started several games and led the team in scoring three times. Now he's back on the bench, playing an integral supporting role.
He's primarily a streaky outside shooter and a solid defender, which doesn't do much to distinguish him from many others on the roster. But Doc, as his teammates call him, is happy being another cog in coach ######## Bennett's system.
"He has shown leadership and really been a team player this season," Bennett said. "[Duany] has found a niche on this team, I think, and it's a good place for him to finish out his career with us."
The most memorable game of Duany's season so far came in one of Wisconsin's early-season losses to bigger, faster Big Ten teams. When the Badgers fell 71-67 to Indiana in Bloomington on Jan. 5, Duany was given a start by Bennett, and he led the team with 17 points while playing in front of family and friends.
Whatever happens this weekend, Duany will treasure his unexpected trip to college basketball's center stage. But he also won't forget his father's work and his family's support.
"This is nothing, you know what I mean? This is a small thing compared to my father," Duany said. "I see that and put it all in perspective. It shows you what really matters."

Arek Deng
