Vlade Divac is 216 cm and the other guy similar to him with dinaricization gone a bit wrong is Bosnian basketball player 211 cm Edin Bavcic that has been source of many jokes lately related to his appearance in TV adds for "Ovako" sausages...:
Its not uncommon for people over 200 cm to be slightly disfigured with direct proportion to number of cm over 2m.
According to what some write here even Pero Antic from Macedonia (208 cm) is Arabid :
I have posted image of a guy for classification that I know personally also by origin from Eastern Herzegovina and Montenegro and he is in Early 20ties and still growing about 1.5 cm each year, he's got some disorder but will most probably according to doctors stop growing in few years, the guy is built like a tank, and you can notice some similarities with Divac and Bavcic, Antic...This is the thread:

Yes they are, becouse dinarization is strongly connected with mountanious territories, therefore the most mountanious a region is the more dinarism it has. The alpine regions and the appenninic regions are a bit more alpine/dinaric than Sicily or Apulia for exemple. The division East-West are a bit less significant for me (I just copied the text), the only factor that can influence phenotype is that the Eastern regions have a climate more similar to the Balkans becouse the Appennines obstacle cold winds from North-East. In Rome it's extremely rare that it snows while in Abruzzo it snows every year also on the coast. Anyway, I repeat, dinarization is more connected to the mountains that to coldness or East/West.
Historically, the Eastern part of Italy have been settled by Illyrian peoples, maybe this can be taken in consideration too.

well Ottomans brought back lots of stuff from back home, so you never know.
It was close to 500 year rule over countries of ex.yu, except Croatia and Slovenia.
In Fact modern borders of Croatia in the east, are exactly the same as with Ottoman empire with established rule, its how far Turks have gone.
Otherwise Bosnia, also known as Turkish Croatia would still be part of us.

They are not the mix of (Gracil)Mediterranid and Alpine, that was Coon's theory, certainly not West-Balkan Dinarids, but rather Atlantomediterranid/Pontid(more) and Cromagnid and Cromagno-Alpinoid variants played big part.
Banjaluka, basketball centers are often with akromegaloid tendencies and might look more disharmonious even disfigured than avg. population.
More Dinarids:
Stipe Drviš, Croat boxer
Branko Babovic, actor from Montenegro
