15 Oct

1986 Fleer basketball card of one of the NBA’s most exciting little men of all time, 5’7″ Spud Webb. He played 14 years in the league, mostly with the Atlanta Hawks, and at the time he was active Webb was the shortest person to ever play in the NBA. His most famous accomplishment was winning the NBA slam dunk contest in 1986. The defending slam dunk champ was Webb’s teammate, Dominique Wilkins, who had never seen Spud dunk before the event. Webb shocked everyone by putting on a tremendous show and being voted the winner. Today Webb is President of Basketball Operations for a minor league franchise, the Texas Legends.
