Pretty short!? That ball ass dude was only 5' 3". He was damn near a foot and a half under a lot of his colleagues. He was quick as hell and new how to pass for the assist.

I had no idea a 5'3" guy was ever on the NBA. That's insane to me. And really inspirational in a way.

I can't think of a higher honor than an alien thinking you're one of the top 5 on the planet!
