Sizes often matters in the world.Being big and strong has its advantages.But it may also be a good thing to be small and fast.
Yao Ming,China's most famous basketball player,is a tall man.At 2.26 meters,he taller of his most of the other players.But compare to the world's tallest person,Yao Ming isn't that tall.The world's tallest living man is almost a hand taller than Yao Ming.He is incredible 2.35 meters.The tallest living woman in the world is 2.31 meters.
