In the NBA, there are a few players who are adored by the NBA community regardless of their performance on the court. Some may mention top-tier superstars like Stephen Curry, who perfectly fits this description. However, there is one player who arguably has no detractors in the league, and that player is none other than Bol Bol, a forward for the Phoenix Suns. Even before joining the Suns, Bol had a tremendous following in the league, and it wasn’t solely because of his basketball skills. While Bol is undeniably talented, there is something about him that endears him to NBA fans.
Speaking of Bol Bol, Kevin Durant, the superstar of the Phoenix Suns, recently expressed his support for him. Durant stated that he loves everything about Bol and believes that everyone in the league has a fondness for him. Durant is undoubtedly rooting for Bol, as he shared in a tweet via Legion Hoops. Durant’s admiration for Bol is evident, and he holds a positive attitude towards the 24-year-old player.
Despite the love he receives from fans, Bol’s NBA career has not been exceptional thus far. Given his towering height of 7-foot-3, many expected him to become an elite player in the league. However, Bol seems to have settled into a role as a supporting player in his career. He has played 14 games for the Suns this season, with average statistics of 3.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game for the team.
