Who's the best "Little Man" to ever do it in the NBA? By "little" I mean 6 feet and under.

Its not even close! Allen Iverson wins this debate easily. Before you relentless Iverson bashers jump all over me lets look at his accomplishments.

Successes:
NBA Rookie of the Year
11-time NBA All-Star
2-time All-Star MVP award
4-time NBA scoring champion
2nd highest playoff scoring average in league history "29.7 ppg" (only behind Micheal Jordan)
Most Valuable Player for the 2000-2001 season
Future Hall of Famer

What Iverson did with such a small stature is nothing short of amazing. A lot of guys will rag on Iverson for his FG percentage when they couldn't even make the cut for their high school JV team. And no, no one on this Board could score as much as Allen Iverson if they could take 40 shots a game.

Since that was established, I would take isiah over every one of those guys. And for the record ai was one of the most 1 demensional players of all time. He had zero defense, hardly a pass in his bag, never rebounded, all he had was speed, and a good handle. He was a so so outside shooter. He came right in the height of "flash before substance" in the league.

Thomas was one of the best defenders at his position/size, a great passer, a decent shooter, an ok rebounder.

Tiny Nate Archibald, Isiah Thomas, AI, and Tim Hardaway (best crossover)

Counts to me. AI was 6ft and Muggsy was 5'5.... in this case only 1in is hardly a difference maker. Hell the guy weighed 150lbs
