Tallest players ever by country

[serbianhoops]

As far as I know Miodrag Alavanja doesn't have Norwegian citizenship. He is an ethnic Serb from Croatia who holds Serbian-Croatian dual citizenship.

As far as I know Miodrag Alavanja doesn't have Norwegian citizenship. He is an ethnic Serb from Croatia who holds Serbian-Croatian dual citizenship.

On his profile it doesn't even mention that he has any other citizenship other than his Norwegian one. He's been playing in Norway since 2004.

Anyways if he doesn't qualify then there's:

1) Matz Stockman (208-PF/C-1995). Played with U18 Norwegian NT this year.

Hong Kong - Sung Fong
http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-2222153.html says he's a 7-footer, but in FIBA I remember he was only 210cm. Originally from mainland he immigrated to HK at a young age and played for HK in FIBA until 2005 or so.

Beijing born Chang Ying-wu/Zhang Yingwu (1921-1984) was 220+cm and played basketball in Taiwan in the 1950s after the Chinese civil war. Modern Taiwan hasn't produced a basketball giant taller than 208cm Cheng Chih-hao I believe.

@Khalid: Thanks! All added/replaced except for Nefty Martínez (most references point to him being an F and not a 7 footer at all, must be usbasket.com mistake), Luis Alberto Hernández (Félix Morales is taller by 2 cm, thanks JRS Bonnet!) and Tofek Saleh (looks like he's also Syrian).

@serbianhoops: Oops looks like you're right. Bosnia now with Aleksandar Radojević (2.21m) and Serbia with Marko Dujković (2.26m). Mirza Begić height corrected to 2.16m. Ole Bentsen replaced Chris Christoffersen for Denmark. I think Miodrag Alavanja does qualify as Norwegian (look here: http://www.basket.no/blno/Sider/Spil...ayer_id=52377; it can't get more official than this )

@sinobball: Most sources point out HK's Sung Fong being indeed 7 feet. Chang Ying-wu added for Taiwan (http://taiwaninfo.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?...Category=&mp=4).

@bourner: Jakub Kuśmieruk already added.

Valdelício Joaquim (2.09m) added for Angola.
Samuel Dalembert joining Olden Polynice for Haiti (2.11m).
