So we have someone in the Israelis second division who is 160cm (http://forums.interbasket.net/f16/history-in-israel-a-1-60m-17941/). Muggsy Bogues height, no biggie. There are some 16Xcm players in Japan's BJ League I'm sure. But do we have 15Xcm players anywhere? What is the record this past few years?

I dont know anyone that short playing in the region, but i'm willing to bet that if the 160 record is to broken than it'll be a pinoy who'll break it;)
i'm quite confident that they have shorter players in the philipines playing in official leagues,maybe one of our pinoy friends here can offer us a closer insight:)

Oh man this will be awesome if we found out that our player (little Sami) is the shortest pro player in the world today.
Why do you think there is few players in japan who are in this hight?

OK found one: 158cm Atsushi Inagaki playing for a Norwegian First Division team:

I think Japanese are far more likely to set the record than Filipinos for reasons I won't get into. Still searching...
