You gotta be different to be able to be the shortest D1 guard in history. Coaches not about to just waste that spot on someone for attention. You gotta be better than the next guy and then some. Respect to him

It requires way more than that. Most guys under 6 ft. have to be like 15-20x more skilled than even the most skilled players at the same level. It's even moreso when you' go below 5'5. Those guys have to be at least 25-30x more skilled than even the most skilled players at the same level. Like they're literally the top 0.01% of skill level in the world. If you see a guy playing pro or D1 and they're under 6 ft., you should show them nothing but respect. They put in more effort and time into the craft in just one year than most players will put in 3-4 lifetimes. They literally stay 10-15 years ahead of where the rest of the game is it. All the stuff you're seeing guys like Kyrie gets famous for now, undersized guards had mastered in their bag and were doing regularly like 8-10 years ago. Even guys like Kyrie will study film of undersized guards playing professionally overseas, simply due to the fact they're 15-30x more skilled than even the most skilled NBA players are currently and generally have to stay 10-15 years ahead of the modern game in terms of skill development.
