Uwe Blab was the closest thing to Manute Bol

please help me...
my 2 idols - Uwe & Manute - were teammates in Oakland in the late 80's.
Where can I find a team picture on line of that team?
Actually I saw a documentary about Manute on FOX-sports and they showed a team picture
of that team, including UB & MB... :tooth
By the way Uwe is a math teacher in Texas these days and Manute nicely recovered from that
horrible accident a few years back...

in what way was uwe the "closest" thing to nute? nute blocked shots, space hooked, and chucked 3's. uwe, from what i can remember, was more of a high post player with decent offensive skills, but nothing to brag about. he certainly didn't have any impact defensively.

Maybe Uwe was standing closest to Manute in the picture that he is looking for.

Or maybe the title of this thread is a take-off on Squid's AR/Magic thread.
