Manute Bol was one of the guys who taught me to be bold. To be fierce. To speak intelligently, and speak like you belong.

Masai Ujiri

I'd like to get around 7-7, be as tall as Manute Bol, and someday block his shot.

Shawn Bradley

Manute Bol is so skinny they save money on road trips. They just fax him from city to city.

Woody Allen

I want to thank God, obviously for the health, for the talent He's given me, for my family who supports me, for the things that basketball's taught me on and off the court. For the people that I've been able to meet through the game of basketball.

Stephen Curry

There's part of it when Manute has both eyes. And the character was actually fleshed out a lot more, in this movie. I got to show people who Manute is and why he is and how devout he is. He is Ava's protector and punisher.

Dennis Haysbert

Africans are not as tall as northern Europeans. But Manute Vol and other sports figures in basketball and football receive a lot of press coverage.

Richard H. Steckel

Chick Hearn taught me how to play basketball, how to think about basketball. He taught me how to love basketball.

Roland Lazenby

I've always been taught that basketball is a team game and greater than the sum of its parts.

Len Elmore

When you're 18, when you're at college, sports can be your life. You can watch every baseball game, every college basketball game, every football game. Once you have a family and kids, you can't do that anymore.

Drew Magary

I'm taller than Manute. I don't know if he's shrunk, or I've grown or whatnot, but we measured up side to side, and I'm taller. I don't think Manute's 7-7. I don't think he's barely 7-6.

Shawn Bradley

The game of basketball has been amazing to me, to my family.

Kyle Lowry

I'm just god-gifted: I have a talent. Even when I played basketball, no one ever taught me the game. I just played it. And with football, I just converted basketball to football and just played.

Jason Pierre-Paul

My family taught me about that, about being the leader, being there for your teammates and caring about everything during the game, after the game, before the game.

Yadier Molina

Basketball isn't just about the bright lights, packed arenas and highlight reels. Basketball is a way of life. Basketball is a relationship between you and the ball, you and your teammates. If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.

Michael Jordan

Chick Hearn was my favorite broadcaster ever - he's the one who taught me to think basketball, how to love basketball.

Bill Walton

For men's college coaches through to the NBA, I think basketball people are basketball people. When you start talking the game, gender has gone out the window, and they just talk basketball with you.
