    After watching the Clippers and seeing Earl Boykins play, I was wondering...

    who are the shortest/lightest NBA players ? ( current or former )

    Thanks in advance.:)

    Mugsy is the shortest of all time a 5'3 I think.

    If it's former NBA player, I've gotta mention our own Calvin Murphy!

    Spud Webb was 5'6 and won the dunk contest. Also although everyone has Iverson listed at 6'0 i heard he's a lot closer to 5'10 just as hakeem was 6'10 and not 7'0.
