It’s tougher to score. It’s tougher to shoot. It’s tougher to play defense. In a league filled with giants that can reach taller than 7-feet, there are also many short players, relatively speaking. For example, Muggsy Bogues is the smallest player to ever play in the NBA. Despite being 5-foot-3, he had a successful NBA career. > Bogues was consistently one of the top players in the league in assists and steals, despite his size. Since Bogues played, the average height of NBA players has increased. However, there are some players shorter than 6-feet tall still, like Jacob Gilyard and Yuki Kawamura. Here are the shortest players in the NBA: ## The Shortest players in NBA history | Rank | Player | Height | Years in league | | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | --------------- | | 1 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/9795.png) Muggsy Bogues | 5’3″ | 1987-2001 | | 2 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/9796.png) Earl Boykins | 5’5″ | 1999-2012 | | 3 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/28653.png) Mel Hirsch | 5’6″ | 1946-1947 | | 4 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/9791.png) Spud Webb | 5’7″ | 1985-1998 | | 5 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/28657.png) Greg Grant | 5’7″ | 1989-1996 | | 6 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/9787.png) Keith Jennings | 5’7″ | 1992-1995 | | 7 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/9789.png) Red Klotz | 5’7″ | 1947-1948 | | 8 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/9784.png) Wataru Misaka | 5’7″ | 1947-1948 | | 9 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/9796.png) Monte Towe | 5’7″ | 1975-1977 | | 10 | ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/9791.png) Charlie Criss | 5’8″ | 1977-1985 | ### 1\. ![](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/teams/medium/3/9795.png) Muggsy Bogues | 5’3” | 1987-2001 ![](/placeholder.svg) © Peter Llewellyn-Imagn Images At 5-foot-3, Muggsy Bogues is the shortest player in NBA history.
