This video is yet another example of Human spirit. A person cannot be judged by his physical appearance but should be judged by his deeds. These Dwarf boys want to prove that they can play the game of Basketball very well and want to earn respect for themselves.


When you play for the New York Towers – New York’s all-dwarf basketball team – you hear this question a lot: Do you play on a regular-size court? It’s a question that irks some little people. Dwarfs don’t drive miniature cars. They don’t live in dollhouses. Why wouldn’t they play basketball like everybody else? “The concept itself is hard for some average-size people to think about – small people playing a big man’s game,” says Clinton Brown III, the team’s 3-foot, 3-inch general manager. “It just goes to show you that with a little bit of fortitude and heart you can accomplish what you desire.” “We’ve got people like Tiny Archibald to Nate Robinson who paved the way for people like us. It’s not about your size, it’s about your heart. You can do anything with your heart. Just follow it.”
