This post is an update to the previous tallest player list. I've changed the requirements from 2.00m up to 2.02m as the other list was getting too long and harder to update. This list wouldn't have been near as long without the help of all the commenters at the old post. Once again, if you know of any players that should be included in this list (2.02m or taller), please let me know and I'll add them.
