Pinoy BasketBalista

Being short is not an obstacle or hindrance for your dream, not for these people who shown the world that Basketball is not only Sports for Big Men. I ranked the players based from their HEIGHT plus their accomplishment, the shorter their height the higher their rank plus their achievements.
