Top 5 Shortest Basketball Players In The World 2020 by IdotG(m): 12:03pm On Jun 02, 2020 |
The following list contains the names of the top 5 shortest basketball players who pushed themselves beyond the NBA limits and lived up their dreams. Although they were greatly disadvantaged by their height, still, they played professional Basketball at the international level. Even after retirement, a few of them became coaches and training managers. The stories of these 10 players will motivate and energizes your souls to liven up your dreams. Let’s have a look at the shortest NBA players in 2020. 1. Name : Muggsy Bogues Date of birth : (January 9, 1965) Country : USA Club : Bullets, Hornets, Warriors, Height : 5’3″ Who else but Muggsy could be at the No. 1 spot? Muggsy Bogues is the shortest player in NBA history, listed at 5’3”. He was drafted 12th overall by the Washington Bullets in 1987 and played later played for the Hornets, Warriors and Raptors. Using his size to his advantage, Muggsy was considered a great passer and stealer. Muggsy only averaged 7.7 PPG, but notched an amazing 7.6 APG. He even recorded 39 blocks in his career, one of them against Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks. As these pint-sized (relative to the NBA) players have proven, individuals can succeed in a league that strongly favors size. While height is not something you can change, heart and dedication prove just as important. 2. Name : Earl Boykins Country : USA Date of birth : (June 2, 1976) Club : Nets, Cavaliers, Magic, Clippers, Warriors, Nuggets, Bucks, Bobcats, Wizards, Rockets Height : 5’5″ Though he would have “towered” over Muggsy by a whole 2 inches, Boykins might grab the honor of being the smallest NBA player ever; he weighed only about 133 pounds in his playing days. Despite his slight frame being a little out of place in such a physical game, Boykins is the shortest player in NBA history to ever score more than 30 points in a game. 3.
