When I was a kid I read a biography about the globe trotters, I remember one of the shorter members (I think it was Pablo) was so short in elementary school that he was always the last one picked for basketball and always ended up on the bench for the game where he’d practice his dribbling. He got so good at it that by high school he was a star player, dribbling circles around the taller players and leaving them so confused that they couldn’t block his shots. Those dribbling skills were what got him on the globe triggers.

Once upon a time, when I was in h.s., there was a separate division in the league for b-ballers 5’8" or under. Or course, Nerwin is way, way under!
