The Shortest NBA player

WHO HE? During the start of the best of five semi-finals series between the San Mig Coffe and Alaska Milk, there was a man seated not far from the sidelines on whom the TV camera would focus from time to time. The young PBA fans in an eatery asked one another who that man was. He did not look special. Who he?

CELEBRATED. Many who watched the PBA game that night didn't know it was Mugssy Bogues, the shortest man to have played in the NBA. He was a celebrated player for many years until his retirement. Mugssy Bogues stands only 5-foot-3 shorter than the shortest Pinoy player in the PBA today.
