"An NBA General Manager goes to Africa to find a basketball star. He is looking for the Watusi tribe, but goes slightly astray and lands among a tribe of Pygmies instead. Rather than come back empty-handed or look further afield, he simply signs up the tallest one he can find and hopes for the best."
