The son of the famous NBA legend Manute Bol, Bol Bol first started his career with the Denver Nuggets. There, in his limited minutes, Bol would combine his giant frame, evasive handling and freak athleticism into ridiculous highlights. After spending his first three years with the Nuggets, the 7’2” player was traded to the Detroit Pistons but the deal was voided.

He was then traded to the Boston Celtics as a part of a three-team trade but he never suited up for the Celtics. And that is when Bol found his way to the Orlando Magic. The 7?2 power forward/ center had an eccentric year with the Magic.

His game always attracted the crowd and he had become quite a fan favorite. But now that the Sudan native is a free agent, the NBA community has a very peculiar idea regarding the future of the 23-year-old.

Fans eager for a Victor Wembanyama – Bol Bol lineup

After the Orlando Magic waived Bol Bol?s contract, one idea that gained the most among fans was that he should play in San Antonio. Fans want the Spurs to sign him and pair him up with their latest addition, 7’4” Victor Wembanyama.

A fan tweeted, ?The Spurs have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.?

Another fan commented, ?Boi Boi + Victor duo coming soon.??Clearly, the community is excited.

Lakers fans however had their own agenda to push.

This Jimmy Buckets fan also chimed in, declaring Bol a “future Heatle.

One page however had a State bias, suggesting that Bol would end up in Texas – just not with the Spurs.
