Good to see short white guys having an impact in the NBA finals.

There's still a place for those "under the rim" guys who play hard and play smart. T.J. O'Connell and Alex Caruso have both had big impacts in these finals.

3 pointers, layups. Defense an occasional dunk, I have seen the white shorter players hold up their end just fine.

O'Connell and Caruso are definitely X-factors for their teams in the Finals.

I don't see where guys over 6' tall are considered "short".

On the floor of an NBA or indoor volleyball court, 6 feet is definitely short.

A school mate of mine 5'11'' made the Nuggets for a year. So smaller guys can make it if they got the skills.

TJM is from a famous Western Pennsylvania basketball family. He will be an NBA coach in due course. His sister coached in the WNBA.

That's cool, but that's where the short white guys live in today's NBA. On the bench or quickly out of the league. It's been a long time since Steve Nash was a dominant MVP player.
