At 5 foot 3 inches tall, Tyrone (Muggsy) Bogues was the shortest player ever to play in the NBA.
Muggsy Bogues
No one is ever too short to play basketball. Some of the shortest players were Muggsy Bogues who was 5'3" and played in the NBA for 14 seasons. Spudd Webb was 5'7" and played for 12 seasons. He also won the Slam Dunk title over his 6'8" teammate, Dominique Wilkins. Currently Nate Robinson is the shortest player in the NBA at 5'9". He has won three Slam Dunk titles including an astounding victory over the 6'11" center Dwight Howard. So to answer your question, no your never too short to play basketball, you may have to work harder, but your never too short.

Tyronne "Mugsy" Bogues was the shortest basketball player ever as approximately 5'3".
It is nearly impossible to dunk at 5 foot 3. Professionals in the NBA that are under 6'0" can barely do it. Spud Web is one of the shortest, if not the shortest, player to ever dunk, and he was 5'6". While not impossible, it is nearly impossible, and your vertical leap will need to be tremendous to do so.
In the NBA it was Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues at 5'3".
If you count street games, etc. no one really knows who the first or second women to ever dunk a basketball were. However, in March of 2012 Baylor's Brittney Griner became the second female to dunk in an NCAA game. The first was Candice Parker from Tennessee back in 2006.
The shortest player ever in the NBA was Tyrone 'Muggsy' Bogues who stands at 5'3 but the person that's in the NBA now would be Earl Boykins who stands at 5'5.
lester hayes
No. That is nearly impossible unless you use a cord or something to lift you.
Muggsy Bogues. (5"3, also the shortest NBA player in history)
