When it comes to NBA small players, you may first think of Aaron Iverson, but today we are going to talk about this person who is more than ten centimeters shorter than Iverson. Born on July 13, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, usa, a former American professional basketball player who plays as a point guard, he is only 1.69 meters tall and is known as "potato". He's Albert Webb!
At the 1985 draft, the Detroit Pistons selected Sbert Webb with the 87th pick in the fourth round (when the draft was due to be played in four rounds), and the Pistons traded him to the Atlanta Hawks. Before Webb, no team in the NBA had ever selected a player who was so "short" in height. During the Eagles' rookie season, he competed in that season's All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest.
At this contest, dominique Wilkins, the last dunk king and "human film essence", seems to be expected to win the championship again, who knows "halfway out of the way to bite gold", anthony Jerome Webb from the Eagles, a small man from the Eagles, stole the limelight from everyone. He was a hit, winning the Dunk Contest and the shortest dunk contest ever in the NBA. Since then, the title of "Dunk King" has accompanied him throughout his career and become a legend in the NBA.
Weber, who was selected in the low pick, was once Boggs' idol when he was younger, but his NBA journey was much more difficult than Boggs's, boggs once said: "Our height does affect our behavior on the court, so we play more of a conveyor role in the team." Webb and I both came out of the ACC league, but he had a harder start in the league than I did. I was selected with the 12th pick in the first round in 1987, so I don't have to go through the hassle of those low-pick players.
After coming to the Eagles, it was thought that he might not have any chances to play because of his short stature, but he averaged 7.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.04 steals per game in 15.6 minutes of playing time, which is very efficient. He later moved to the Kings after playing for the Hawks and reached the pinnacle of his career there.
Weber nicknamed "Little Potato", as his name suggests, is only 1.69 meters tall and weighs 60 kilograms, bouncing in situ is about 1.3 meters, running bounce is about 1.5 meters, and running height is 3.57 meters. He played 12 seasons in the NBA, playing in 814 regular-season games, averaging 9.9 points per game and shooting 45.2 percent from the field. Sbert Webb played for the Eagles, Kings, Timberwolves and Magic in his career, averaging 16.0 points, 7.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game for the Sacramento Kings in the 1991–1992 season. Career-high score of 34 points!
