The shortest player in the NBA

Spud Webb was born in Texas, the USA, in 1963. He was very small—much smaller

than the other kids at school. However, he had a big dream — he wanted to play in

the NBA.

While attending junior high, Spud tried out for the school team, but he was

refused to play at first because he was too small. He did not lose heart. When he

finally got the chance, he scored 20 points in his first game. From then on, he was

the star of the team.

In senior high, Spud often had to sit in the stands because of his height. He

practised even harder and got the coach to change his mind. Spud went on to become

leader of the team. In his last year of senior high, he was named Player of the

Year in Texas.

However, no university would invite him to play basketball simply because he

was only 170 cm tall. He decided to play at a junior college. There he led his team

to the national championship. This brought him to the attention of North Carolina

State University. As a result, he succeeded in getting a scholarship.

Although he was a great player at university, the NBA was not interested in him

4 because all its players were more than 20 cm taller than he was. After he graduated,

he was forced to play in another basketball league. He remained there for about a

year before the NBA took notice of him. In 1985, he joined the Atlanta Hawks and

became the shortest player in the NBA at that time. He had many great achievements,

but his proudest moment came in 1986 — he won the Slam Dunk Contest.

Through hard work, Spud Webb proved that size and body type does not matter —

you can do almost anything if you never give up.
