Over the years that LeBron James has been the best basketball player on the planet, several NBA players<\/a> have been overlooked thanks to The King's dominance. One of those players who deserves a ton of recognition is the future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul has led multiple teams to significant success and has proven to be one of the best point guards in NBA history while doing it. However, what\u2019s maybe most impressive about Paul\u2019s game is that he has accomplished all that he has while not being one of the tallest players in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how tall is Chris Paul, and how does his height compare to other point guards in the NBA?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul is actually one of the shortest players in the NBA today, as he only stands at 6 feet tall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only a handful of current players are shorter than him, as Carsen Edwards, Chris Chiozza, D.J. Augustin, Frank Mason, and Jordan McLaughlin are all 5-11.\u00a0Tremont Waters, Markus Howard, Jared Harper, and Facundo Campazzo are all 5-10, and Isaiah Thomas is 5-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, none of these players are quite as short as former stars like Muggsy Bogues, who stands at 5-3, or Earl Boykins<\/a>, who is 5-5. But they are still at a disadvantage when going against big men who are 7 feet or taller, or even some of the taller point guards in the league today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a look at the heights of some of the other star point guards in the NBA (shorter and taller ones):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
