Dwarf Basketball...

Bashful (Long beard, long eye lashes) - He has excellent court vision and a 15 foot jumper you could set your watch to. A little embarrassed of how good he is, like Clyde Drexler. This is a guy you want on your team. He is more of a second banana as opposed to a leading force. Silent leader.

Doc (Short Beard, glasses) – He is your classic 'tweener. Too smart to be a power forward, but not quick enough to run the point. Outstanding work ethic. He's reminds me of a young Danny Manning, with Chris Sabo glasses. Hopefully he will continue to put in the work to take it to the next level.

Dopey (Beardless, big ears) - He was actually known as the "Michael Jordan" of the NDBL (National Dwarf Basketball League), so after his transition to the nest level, he should be on an even tier with Toni Kukoc! What more can you ask for?

Grumpy (Long Beard, scowl) - I liken his game to Vlade Divac. Is Vlade a Hall of Famer? I don't think so. So, there is no way I'm putting Grumpy in the Hall. But if you need someone to act like they never do anything wrong and it’s always someone else’s fault, Grumpy is your man.

Happy (Short beard, smile) - The typical team player; he makes the people around him better. Always willing to crack a joke to lighten the mood. A Mark Madsen-esque player, he's a good hustle guy. You’re never going to want to give him a max-contract, but you’ll want him in your line-up at crunch time.

Sleepy (Long beard, heavy eyelids) - Ahh...the Damon Stoudamire of the NDBL. Is he really sleepy, or should he be called “Munchies”? Either way, if he can keep up that 20-10-7 pace he's on, this is a Hall of Famer for sure, regardless of his off the court "activites".

Sneezy (Short beard, red nose) - Sneezy never gets off the bench. Too many mysterious aliments. He's like Terrell Brandon. All he's good for is to trade an expiring contract. Barely an NBA player. If I had my choice between Sneezy and Felton Spencer, I’m taking Felton. Enough said.
