NBA Legends Share Their Favorite 5'7 Spud Webb Stories

[@wilkvanburen]

I'm 55, and I remember watching NBA back when Dr. J. was with the 76ers. Pre-cable in my area, you could catch the all-star game on ABC's Wide World of Sports. So I remember watching all of this as it was happening, and thinking to myself, how is someone so short going to even be able to get near the rim. Talk about sitting up and taking notice after that first dunk! This was amazing to watch! Great memories.

SPUD WEBB was a giant on the court! ✌️

[@badat2k191]

Loved spud and mugsy. They made me feel like my scrawny self could make the league 😂

[@b_nes6093]

Bro as much as I luv MJ, this vid made my day. 💯

[@SUPREMEgoldchain_REAKTZ]

1 of my favorite players!!!🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for showing him this love

[@johnkendall2227]

Another player to check out is, Muhammad Abdul Rauf

[@NA-sw7iu]

If you haven't already, check out some Tracy McGrady vids. For a few years in his prime he was unstoppable and you'll see some jaw dropping plays he did. On my list of the best players without a ring.

[@F1R3R1PP3R]

Ya I remember this dude .. absolutely looked up to him I was 5ft8 .. and ya if I seen him dunk well i wanted too.. so I got to work on my vertical.. great player. Great video ..

[@TheRulerRoderickSutton]

Also won Dunk Contest in his hometown Dallas Texas!! Ps. His sister was a teacher around the Dallas area.

[@tywayne3]

Pops got tickets to go to the Dunk in Chicago got to see MJ, Dominique, and Bird. Still one of my favorite memories.

[@mobettaone7795]

I got a good one... Chris Jackson - Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf... Please find a good video on his game and story.... You'll be impressed. He is not talked about enough. Those who know... Know

Paul Simon "Me and Julio down by the schoolyard" official music video. Spud Webb was in the video along with Mickey Mantle and John Madden.

[@trowabarton321]

Wilt Chamberlain. "Most athletic giant ever " Check out that video. Dude ran a 4.6 barefoot. Check that video out

[@chastongoolsby7863]

You really should check his mixtape out....Spud was more than a role player, most times he was a 2nd no lower than 3rd scoring option. Every legend you can think of in the 80's, Spud gave em buckets and made it look like light work.

[@CR250rSMITH]

Do a video on Kevin Johnson's game, he was also one of the first smaller PG's to dunk on people #KJ7

[@gino88]

Check out some Daryl Dawkins AKA “Chocolate Thunder” dunks and highlights. Purposely not mentioning what he is famous for so it is a surprise to you.

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Check out the human highlight JASON "White Chocolate" WILLIAMS. 🤞✌️

[@tywayne3]

Muggsy Bogues has a dope documentary about him and his High School team.

[@GregNewkirk-o8h]

So much for the lie that players were not athletic plumbers back in the day

[@warrenhughes911]

Great reaction.. Yo, check out Pistol Pete Maravich

[@tywayne3]

Did him a few days ago.

[@bryanstoudenmire]

Spud was the truth

[@lll9416]

No misses in that Slam Dunk contest

[@MrOdzplat]

Young Grove still on the move😂😂😂 the smaller the dunker the better it looks

[@chastongoolsby7863]

If you like small guys that could bounce, Robert Pack, Kevin Johnson, and Isiah "Zeke" Thomas were all able, and would yam on people. Zeke not so often, but when he did!!! Tim Hardaway Sr. pre injury as well as Steve Francis, Stephon Marbury and Allen Iverson!!!!

[@TheIcemanthomas]

KJ wasn’t that small

[@Happyface1981]

You should check out muggsy bogues. I’d love to see your reaction

[@anTsoziaL63]

Gerald Wilkins is the brother of Dominique Wilkins the so called "Jordan Stopper". R.I.P. to #25 Jerome Kersey who played with the Portland Trailblazers.

[@FireMedicMoody390]

Yup. Nothing to see here. Just another of those unathletic, talentless "plumbers" from Jordan's era. 🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@eazymoneymane7789]

Mogusy bogus next

[@darastarscream]

No for real man-- I met him once when the Dallas D-League team was getting off the ground. He's shorter than me, and I'm five-eight in shoes.

[@markjerorsr1495]

The spoiled limousine superstars of today brag about being an "athlete" at 6'9" and 260 lbs. If Spud had their height none of them would be in the goat debate...and I don't ever remember seeing him flop or cry on the court.

[@bryanstoudenmire]

Check out Muggsy Bogues he was 5'3"

[@tywayne3]

Rod Strickland!

[@smhunney8266]

thats real and true hops. Not the 7 footers acting like they doing something special. Spud was a better player than Lebron

[@thinkcritically6373]

Spud would average 20pt/10a in today's game...

[@FactsProofKnowledge]

on TikTok

[@RonCunningham-mx2kk]

What if he was 6,4?

[@GregNewkirk-o8h]

Magic could not handle Spud
