  If you are good enough, then you are tall enough.

    Yobs, with all due respect I think my point was lost on you. Life is full of discrimination, people are judged on looks, athletic ability, income just to name a few. We have women only gyms, white lady funeral service where only females are employed. If we are going to waste 120 million on every sc called equality issues we will be one broke nation.

  I agree, NBA has discriminated against me for the absurd fact that I have no skill... inclusion means accepting all skill levels and abilities and allowing unshaped and poorly built rigs like myself onto the bug stage

  Hi Brad

  Very well spoken. 100% correct in every thing you said.  I am sick to death of everything being tagged to a particular cause.

  Life is tough, life is not always fair, someone will have more than you in life, likewise you will have more than someone else.

  In the end of the day, we breath, we shit, we eat, drink and we die.  The rest in the middle is fluff.

    Well done mate, truly well said.

  Basketball is not as discriminatory as other sports. Yes you tend to do better if you have height but if you are smaller then the upside is you are quicker on your feet as can run around the big guys. Similar in league. I am 90kg and I have dreams to ride the next Melbourne Cup winner so I’m stuffed

  I truly feel for you Brad.

  There are so many social injustices that need to be addressed, but with such limited funds and a voice for these, the obvious inequality will never be truly addressed for you my friend. Go play marbles or something where height plays no part at all.

    Thanks Frank, I battle with injustice daily but I get by with a little help from my friends.

  I followed b-ball throughout the early to mid 90’s and some of my favourite players were some of the shortest players for the fact of most were freaks for shooting behind the base line (3 points)
  BJ Armstrong and Detlef Schrempf were some of my favourites.
  John Stockton was extremely short but was great with assists.
  Charles Barkley was my all time favourite.
  If your saying you have all the skills then maybe you should focus on playing a role like did.
  No need to slam dunk.
  I see what your saying though.
