At 5'5" Earl Boykins is the NBA's shortest NBA player (Source: NBA website, yo.) and second shortest ever (shortest was 5'3"). You wouldn't be able to tell from seeing him play - that is until you see him up against everyone else on the court, where he looks like he's 12 years old except that he's running circles around them.

His height probally plays to his advantage with court awareness and sneakiness I know at my height of 6'4 i would probaly not even notice him on the court till he steals the ball from me.
