CHECK OUT ; THE SHORTEST NBA PLAYER 5_FOOT_9.

-



The stature of professional athletes is one of the easiest things to point out, especially in professional basketball when there are giants standing out there. But some players receive more jokes than they deserve, yet they are no shorter than the average person.

The average height of a man in the United States is about 5-foot-9. So just think. All of those NBA players who you see on the court for the Utah Jazz, San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks and any other pro team who look absolutely tiny — they are likely as tall, if not taller, than you are.

Any current player around that mark is extremely talented, even if they aren’t perennial MVP candidates. No doubt about that. There is no way a player could reach the peak of basketball at such a stature without having endless abilities like hitting free throws consistently or being reliable in the playoffs. But it also goes to show just how big players in the National Basketball Association are when the shortest NBA players look like children, even though they are completely normal sized humans. Heck, the tallest NBA players even tower over NFL players and have grown substantially since the ABA days.

Just remember, if any of these players were to show up to one of your rec league games, they wouldn’t even stand out as short. And they definitely wouldn’t be picked on for their size.

The Shortest NBA Players in 2022

Isaiah Thomas: 5-foot-9

Isaiah Thomas celebrates a game in 2017.

As the shortest player currently in the National Basketball Association, Isaiah Thomas is definitely the first player everyone thinks of in this conversation. Even though he has traveled quite a bit during his career, he has had a bunch of success including two All Star Game appearances with the Boston Celtics.


Thomas was drafted by the Sacramento Kings with the last pick of the 2011 NBA Draft. He had short stints with the Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards and New Orleans Pelicans. He is currently with the Charlotte Hornets.
