there is no height requirement in the nba... even though you're just 5'3 like muggsy, as long as you can play ball, nobody can stop you from joining the nba or any other league in the whole world...

There's no minimum height. The shortest NBA player ever, Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues, is 5' 3". The shortest player currently is Earl Boykins, who's 5' 5". You get into the NBA if you are at the top of the top from where you were drafted.

I don't think there is a height requirement... It depends on your skills, i believe the smallset guy in the league was either Earl Boykins and he's like 5'4...and Mugsey Bogues...back in the days

there is no height requirment. Earl Boykins is a good backup PG that gets 13 point per game and 4 assists. and he is only 5 foot 5.

The shortest ever NBA player was Muggsy Bogues, who was 5'3", the tallest ever was Manute Bol who was 7'7" (and for a short time these two played together on the washington bullets). the average height is 6'8"

I'm going to say 5ft8 in these days. If you can be quick and play defense and shoot the ball well you shouldn't have a problem getting in the league. We all know the big boys have the advantage. With 6ft6-8 shooting guards in the game it is very hard to get into the league. Those use to be some of the taller centers.

There is no height requirment, but if you are on the short side, under 6'0, you had better be fast.

There's no height requirement. It doesn't matter how small you are what matters is your determination and natural abilities.

There is not one. Spud web, mugsy boggs, five-nine and under if you can ball it doesn't matter how tall you are. Ask Earl Blykins!

I'm gonna say about 5'8 or 6'0 because you have to be tall enough to play good and throw the ball to your teammates without letting the other defense get it LOL!!
