12 Most UNDERSIZED Players In NBA HISTORY

There have been some players that have succeeded in the NBA even though they were much smaller than their competition. This makes watching them even more impressive and makes what they do even more of an accomplishment. It takes even more skill to succeed in the NBA when you undersized and these 12 players have done that.

I think Isaiah would be a little bit better if he was taller, but I think his height was his motivation to be great like he is

Yea thats like a power or small forward height

[@therealjrb5140]

as a center in the early 2000s

[@seandaniels7938]

BR33CH HD at center when most are 6,11+ yes it is draymond green is undersized for his position too he 6,7 and play power forward where most are around 6'9 6,10 etc but as we coming into a nba where small ball is key some obscure players are good with draymond down low warriors can spread the floor like crazy hes too big for guards and to quick for other bigs so he can get and do what he need easy he can run to the 3 and pretty much go uncontested since no one on the perimeter can lock him up and if he wanna go down low he got the footwork and handles to out maneuver almost any big not saying Draymonds god or anything just when you have guys who can use there shit to an advantage they keepers

[@StopHatingBaizhu]

Sean Daniels draymond is good kicker

[@righteousnez]

How is KD on this list? He's nearly 7 foot playing the 3 in today's NBA where small ball rules. If he were playing the 4 or 5 I would agree but at his position he's far from undersized.

[@aaronyoung2773]

Rasheed Riley did you watch the video?

Generally speaking, KD should be mentioned as one of the most oversized players ever. Dude does not need to hit the gym he is a shooter.

[@shyii9244]

Idgaf about weight he’s ten pounds behind lebron I think u acting like he’s 195 pounds he’s 240 and undersized is about height not weight if we talking about weight the title should be skinny people idk what to call it but yeah

At the end of the day one has to know how to play to be great at this game. That's all it is bro. Awesome video! P.S. Sometimes dudes who are tall and athletic, but don't really know how to play will get picked up to play on these pro teams by GMs and owners who never learned how to play themselves and see the height and athleticism as POTENTIAL for them to build on. These tall athletic players who do not truly understand how to play to win will always get business handed to them by dudes who truly understand how to play this game, no matter the size.
