Bol Kong is a pretty sweet name.

I agree with American immigration policy. We can't have all of these Canadians coming across the border to play basketball. It might put some of our own inner city thugs out of a job

They probably won't let him in the country as long as he is a shooting guard.

This is ridiculous...let the kid come play.

titansftw u are a racist (why do u have to be a thug coming from the innercity)

Racist is a term we throw out WAY too often along with hero and awesome. Get over it, he is entitled to his opinion. That is what living in a free society is all about. Oh, by the way, take it for the joking way it was intended idiot.

Those rural country boys might pass around a petition to keep him from playing...

Kinda sucks for the kid-
But in reality- if he has been in Canada for 13 years.......
Why HASN'T he gotten ctizenship up there?

Kid from terrorist sponsoring country infiltrates United States on basketball scholarship. NCAA all-star by day, Terror Cell leader by night.

Sounds like an awesome movie!

C'mon, he can't be any worse than Rasheed or A.I,

Also, his name sounds like he's from the dinka tribe - like Luol Deng + Manute Bol. They're the ones that have been getting slaughtered for 25 years. But i guess they're all the same to the State Dept.

I'll be the first to say that US immigration policy is completely braindead. Still, why should it make a difference that he's a basketball player? We wouldn't even be having this conversation if he was a math whiz. It's bad to make a retarded policy even worse by pushing a different standard for this kid just because he knows his way around the court.

Actually, szquirrel, the policy may be retarded but he's not being held to any different standard. He's being held to the exact same standard as anyone else from Sudan. He isn't getting a free pass because he happens to be an athlete.

First, Canada must apologize for the band "Loverboy". Then Kong can play!

donruss (a joke ,take it as a joke ha ha ) thats what a racist would say .bruinswin i am more scared of yhe home grown terrorist like oliver north dumping all those drugs on american citizens now thats a terrorist act for u.

Maybe he is proud of his Sudanese heritage , but got tired of being bombed and shot at because he wasn't of Arab lineage. Ever heard of Darfur? They're having some problems there.

BTW, this kid has one of the coolest names...ever.

Good to know the excellent policies of the U.S. governement are keeping out such threats as shooting guards. Maybe they saw he was a "shooting" guard and thought he was a terrorist. This is the same government that has Nelson Mandela on the terrorist watch list, so such stupidy wouldn't suprise me

I meant "stupidity"
