It seems that you don't know Zhou Mi is as tall as Zhang Ning, and Taufik is clearly taller than LCW (LCW is shorter than 173 and TH definitely taller than that). MD: you know Markis. Btw Tony/Candra/Sigit are all not that long. So, please make sure what you are going to say before you say something, hehehehe.
Tyrone Bogues was a good player in NBA and he's short (no more than 170cm). So I guess height does not matter in basket ball.
Point Guards don't necessarily have to be tall. they can be used solely to set up plays, look for open space and run the team while the other 4 players score baskets. height does matter however if you want to be a good Center. imagine a short Yao Ming. in badminton, height without technique is of no use. in MD, you cannot have 1 player solely for something. 1 of the players may have a favoured position, whether at the back or the front but if he/she can only ever be good at the front or at the back, then you would have problems.
Isn't that true for all sports? anything without technique is of no use. Narnia said height matters. It doesn't mean height is everything.
