Short Pro Match-ups
I was at the Kobe Storks vs Yokohama Excellence game (Japan's B2 Playoffs) and saw two slightly short players guarding each other.
Kobe's Riichi Nomizo is 160cm and Yokohama's Hirotaka Ohashi is 165cm. Nomizo actually scored 11 points in the first quarter, and then barely featured the rest of the game. Ohashi had 12 points (4 threes) and had a bigger role for his team.
This made me wonder if there have ever been any other shorter match-ups in professional basketball. Kagoshima played Kobe last week, and they have a player who is 166cm so today's game just beats that one.
Bogues and Boykins are the same heights as the ones I saw play, but I don't think they ever played against each other.
Does anyone know any other short match-ups? Or just any other interesting match-ups?
