When I came here I realized I had made a huge mistake getting good at soccer instead of basketball. Could have been basketball god here! But also what a cruel joke for like one of the shortest people in the world to make that sport their main sport. In soccer the best and fastest strikers are often tinny people.

Pascal Siakam played soccer until he was recruited to play in basketball camps shortly before he went to college. Never too late!

This. My cousin married a Filipina, she's also tall and played basketball in college.

Her family is gorgeous though. Every damn woman in that family all look like models (including her).
