    I think this is an inactive list because the Philippines' tallest active player I suppose is 6'11" Gregory William Fuentes-Slaughter

            Our current tallest player in Lebanon is the 18 year old Elie Habr whom is 218 cm and is currently playing with Sagesse. I don't believe that we have ever had a taller bball player.

            As for Syria, I think their tallest player is Abdulwahab Hamwi 217 cm (He was on Syria's U18 roster that played in the last Asian Championship in Iran and helped them qualify to the World Championships).

            I also used to remember that Samir Gouda was the tallest Egyptian player at 217 cm but i'm not sure if he's their tallest player ever.

            Sultan Kosen apparently is now 247 cm after his back operation

                    Do you mean Ignacio de Ferrari? I researched a bit and Ignacio is 1 cm taller than Aldo. Added Ignacio to the list.
                    Thanks guys, added those you posted. Remember the list is about the tallest player ever in each country.
