The Tall Blacks Have Jumped Out of their Skins
The Tall Blacks, with their tallest player only 2.09 metres tall and the
shortest 1.82 metres, jumped and played their hearts out
to reach the semi-finals of the World Basketball Championships
in Indianapolis on Friday, 6 September 2002. This is the first
time New Zealand has ever qualified for the world champs and the
team was rated as unlikely to win a game. They are now fourth in the
world. The courage and determination of these short men of
basketball are a lesson to us all, to never give up, to listen
to the coach and then good things can happen.
