All-Star Athletes Who Are All-Star Dads

Manute Bol

Manute Bol was a fantastic basketball player and political activist. Tragically, he passed away in 2010 at the estimated age of 47 (when he came to the states, he didn't really know how old he was.) He left behind his wife, Ajok, and children Bol, Madut, Chris, Abuk, and Ayak. He was able to leave his family in a comfortable spot, which is something he always wanted to do. 

Basketball Runs in the Family

Bol's son, Bol (yes, his name is Bol Bol) is carrying on his father's incredible legacy. Even though Bol was only 10 when his father died, he was on track to become a great player due to his father's advice and stories.
