Bol Bol's bedroom at 15 was scarred as the player kept playing on his mini hoop.

Even though his father was an NBA legend, Bol Bol didn't get anything for free before and during his tenure in the association. The big man has had to fight hard to earn a position in the league, and now all his hard work is paying off. 

Despite a bad start to his career with the Denver Nuggets, Bol found a new home in Orlando, where he's surrounded by more young players ready to shine, and the center is taking the biggest advantage of that situation. 

Paolo Banchero has claimed that what people look at in Victor Wembanyama as a special talent, they already had it in Bol Bol. Shaquille O'Neal even said that he would start a franchise with this player over Zion Williamson a couple of years ago.

Now, Bol is proving his worth in the league, making incredible plays with the Magic and sending everybody into a frenzy. Bol has handles, he has height, he can shoot the ball, and can defend. This player has everything to dominate the league, and if the Magic keep developing him, they'll get somebody unstoppable very soon. 

Given his good moment, we're now learning more details about Bol and his younger days. Recently, Hoops Nostalgia shared an old pic of Bol where he appears in his bedroom, which is scarred due to the teenager's games on his mini hoop. 

Those moments led him to this one, where he's ready to shine in the NBA with a team that is letting him do what he does. The Magic aren't contenders by any means this season, but they have something great in their hands, and Bol can be great on this franchise. 

Hopefully, things will keep going good for him. The stuff he's showing this season makes people think that Bol can be to the league what they expect from Victor Wembanyama.
