Alright, so I got curious about who the shortest center in the NBA is right now. It’s something I’ve wondered about, you know, since centers are usually these towering giants.

I started by just hitting up Google, typing in something like “shortest NBA center 2023-2024” – real basic stuff. The first few results all pointed to the same guy.
Digging into the Shortest Center
It looks like Montrezl Harrell is holding it down as the shortest “true” center. The guy’s only 6’7″! I mean, 6’7″ is tall for a regular person, obviously, I could never, but for an NBA center, it’s pretty short.
I checked out some of his stats. He has been playing a lot of minutes, it looks like. And I saw that, he has not started many games, but he is still getting good time on the court.
- Found: Montrezl Harrell is considered the shortest center.
- Checked stats: Decent career.
- Realized: Height isn’t everything in basketball.
It’s kinda wild to see how he can perform at that level with the traditional big men, it says a lot. It’s pretty cool to see someone succeed like that, even if they don’t fit the usual mold.
