Eye-catching Combo

Meet IEMD cagers Atul Patil and Ruben Khabade, who are the tallest and shortest players of the ongoing Dunkyard 2009 Inter-College Basketball Tournament

They perhaps are not even aware that they make quite a combo when they ply their skills on the basketball court. Meet the Institute of Management and Entrepreneurship Development (IMED) cagers Atul Patil and Ruben Khabade, who have formed a rare combination of being the tallest and shortest players, that too from the same side in the ongoing Dunkyard 2009 Inter-College Basketball Tournament.
While Atul is six feet six inches taller, Ruben is the shortest at five feet four inches. Ask the duo about it, and the bashful side of the duo surfaces. "The fact that the tallest and shortest players of the tournament are from the same side arouses interest among one and all. People curiously ask us how we happen to play together," says Atul, who has been caging with Ruben, since both hail from the same hamlet of Miraj in Sangli district.
"Sometimes, people who came to watch our matches seem to see the funny side of us playing together. Atul plays as a pivot while I play as a feeder and we know each other well since we turn out for the same club Miraj Youth Developmental Centre.
So, who are their role models? Both of them open up. "Michael Johnson is my idol. The way he dunks make me crazy. His playing style is sheer magic," says Atul while Ruben goes gung-ho over Kobe Bryant. "Kobe Bryant is one of the best among the contemporary lot. His dribbling and shooting skills are awesome."The only sour note is their quarterfinal exit from the tourney. "It was a close affair, it could have gone either way but BVCOE had the last laugh," both added in unison.
