Just recently watch the game between Croatia and Philippines Gilas Pilipinas team in their first FIBA World Cup game in Spain.
It was a close game and talking about the heart of the Filipinos and despite their size disadvantage to their opponent Croatia, it may look an easy game for the other team but watch out these Filipino player has heart and they never gave up till the last minute of the game.

Although Croatia won in an overtime game 81-78, it was still an impressive game by the under size Philippines team. I've been playing basketball in my hometown years ago and we had this Inter-Barangay leagues and when we say this kind of league, do expect big players will play on the court.
Surely I know the feeling of pounding by opponent 3-5 inches taller than you. These people can fly high and jump over you. It's no walk in the park in the game of basketball. If you don't wanna beat up badly, you got to fight and play hard no matter what.
