While gangling giants stuff their shots with contemptuous ease, a surprising crop of shorter men are reasserting their claim to a piece of the game. Dribbling, passing and shooting rings around their taller teammates, they are bringing back to basketball some agile, old-fashioned skills. Three of the best: >U.C.L.A.'s Mike Warren, 5 ft. 11 ½ in., seems to shrink...
