http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/basketball/nba/07/01/bol.accident.ap/index.html Former NBA center Bol injured in car accident Posted: Thursday July 1, 2004 3:18PM; Updated: Thursday July 1, 2004 4:03PM COLCHESTER, Connecticut (AP) -- Former NBA center Manute Bol was seriously injured in a highway accident Wednesday night, police said. Bol was riding in a cab when it rolled over, killing the driver and throwing the 2.31-meter (7-foot-7) Sudan native from the car. Bol suffered a head injury and was taken by helicopter to Hartford Hospital, state police spokesman J. Paul Vance said. "The doctor said, for his age, he's in extremely good shape and would probably be dead if he wasn't an athlete," longtime friend Andrew Kearns said. Bol's condition was not released Thursday, but Kearns said Bol has a broken neck and is sedated. "It's going to be a long recovery, unfortunately," Kearns said. Bol, 43, was a second-round draft pick of the Washington Bullets in 1985. He played 10 seasons in the NBA before retiring in 1995 after averaging 4.2 rebounds per game and 2.6 points during his career. He blocked more shots per minute than anyone in league history. Bol was born in Turalie, a remote village in the southern part of Sudan. The region is the home of the Dinkas, the tallest people in the world. For a time, he was the tallest man ever to play in the NBA. Many of his relatives were leaders in the Sudanese People's Liberation Army, the rebel movement. Since 1991, he has made several visits to refugee camps, where people greeted him as a king. An important backer of the rebel movement, Bol contributed an estimated $3.5 million. He begged for American intervention in Sudan and picketed the country's embassy. In 2002, Bol signed with the Indianapolis Ice of the minor Central Hockey League to raise money for the people of his war-torn homeland. He never stepped on the ice. =========================================================================== 又讓我想到他那竹竿一般的身材以及他那難得的有趣生涯記錄 (生涯火鍋比得分還要多)，希望他沒事。 -- Mika Hakkinen -- Born: September 28, 1968 F1 driver: 1991-2001 Career: 20 wins, 51 podium finishes, 26 poles, 25 fastest laps, 420 points 1998 F1: West McLaren Mercedes, World Champion, 100 points (8 wins, 11 podium finishes, 9 poles, 6 fastest laps) 1999 F1: West McLaren Mercedes, World Champion, 76 points (5 wins, 10 podium finishes, 11 poles, 6 fastest laps) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.119.144.43 ※ 編輯: MikaHakkinen 來自: 140.119.144.43 (07/03 20:15)
