How did players like Earl Boykins (5 ft 5 inch tall) make to the NBA and is having successful career? There was also a guy called Muggsy Bogues (5'3) and he had a good career in the NBA, too.
What are the similarities between those 2? What is so special about them that they were able to survive in the NBA which is full of 7'footers?

When they got a paycheck, it went towardstheir NBA fund. No he's just good. AI's real height is 5'9" and he's top 5 of his time. Talent and more Talent. What about Spud Webb and Nate Robinson. Spud( 5'6") and Nate( 5'9") won the slam dunk contest

Big heart, quickness, dedication and ignoring the haters who said "you will never make it." That would fuel me to prove them wrong.

7 FOOT GUYS LIKE YAO MING OR SOMEONE ARE REALLY SLOW AND ON THE OTHER HAND THE GUYS LIKE YOU SUGGESTED ARE SMALL AND VERY QUICK, SO THEY CAN OUT RUN THE BIG GUYS.
