Alright, so I wanted to figure out who the shortest center in the NBA is. Sounds like a simple question, right? Well, it took a bit of digging!
First, I fired up my trusty search engine. I typed in something like “shortest NBA center 2023-2024” to get current results. Initially, I got a bunch of articles about the tallest players, which was, you know, the opposite of what I was looking for.
Then, I refined my search a little, adding terms like “minimum height” and “list of centers.” That helped narrow it down a bit. I started seeing some names pop up, but it was hard to tell if they were actually centers or just listed as forwards who sometimes played center.
Digging Deeper
So, I decided to go to the official NBA website. I figured their player data would be the most accurate. I went to the player section and tried to filter by position. It’s a little clunky because they show multiple postions on player profile sometimes, and you can’t just isolate the “center” position and get a clean height sorted list.
- I spent a good chunk of time clicking through player profiles, checking their listed positions and heights.
- I kept a little notepad open and jotted down any names that seemed like possibilities.
- Cross checked with player’s game footage and highlights.
After all that, I had a few names that seemed to be contenders. It was still surprisingly tough to be 100% sure, though! The NBA has a lot of versatile players these days, and positions aren’t always as clear-cut as they used to be.
Honestly, I felt like a real detective there for a minute! But hey, that’s the fun of it, right? Going down the rabbit hole and finding the answer. Or at least, getting as close to the answer as I reasonably could!
