Last time we talked about the tallest NBA players. Experience has proven that not all of them were so successful. Therefore, maybe the height is not so important. Let’s see, now it’s the turn of the shortest basketball players.
1. Muggsy Bogues(5.3 ft.)
Bogues is the shortest basketball player in NBA history. However, he managed to play basketball professionally even shoulder to shoulder with one of the tallest players. He also won a gold medal at Olympics. Besides, Muggsy became a coach of a women’s team at the end of his career. And even there he was shorter than girls.
2. Earl Boykins(5.3 ft.)
Firstly he played for a university team. Boykins came forward as an NBA draft candidate but was rejected. Nevertheless, he got in the NBA in a year as a player of the Brooklyn Nets. He is in the second place, being 0,06 ft. higher than Bogues
3. Anthony Webb (5.7 ft.)
He became a part of the NBA after the1985 draft. This player is recorded in history as the shortest AT&T Slam Dunk winner.
4. Wataru Misaka(5.7 ft.)
He was the first basketball player of Asian origin in the NBA. What’s interesting, Misaka served in the US Army during the occupation of Japan by the Allied forces.
5. Red Klotz(5.7 ft.)
This basketball player played in those days when the NBA did not even exist. However, he is better known for his team, founded at the end of his career, where he played as a point guard until he was 62 years old.
6. Greg Grant(5.7 ft.)
The guy grew up in a dysfunctional family and even did not dream of an NBA career. Fortunately, he was spotted on a basketball court and then invited to the college team. That’s how it all started. Grant released an autobiographical book in 2009.
