His name is Jahmani Swanson, 29, who stands at 4-foot-5-inches.
“People think if they’re bigger than me they can post me up, but just because I’m small it doesn’t mean I’m weak,” Swanson told Barcroft TV (via the Huffington Post). “I face it when I’m on the street and I face it when I’m on the court but it’s a stage and I love showing what I can do.”
Swanson plays on the New York Towers dwarf basketball team.
