The Memphis Grizzlies already have the shortest NBA player in Yuki Kawamura who is 5ft7, but they are about to form the shortest duo in NBA history by signing TJ Shorts who is 5ft8. TJ Shorts played under Toumas Issalo in Germany and France, but now that Toumas Issalo is the head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies, he wants to sign his star point guard from EuroLeague and bring him to the NBA. TJ Shorts has already reportedly agreed to sign with Greek Club Panathinaikos, but he is waiting on an NBA contract offer from the Grizzlies in this years free agency. The shortest backcourt in NBA history is about to take over. At a combined height of just 11 feet 6 inches, Yuki Kawamura and TJ Shorts are about to rewrite what we thought was possible for undersized guards in the NBA. The Memphis Grizzlies are making history — and it’s not just for headlines. There's a method to the madness. Yuki Kawamura, the 5’7” Japanese sensation, went viral last year for his jaw-dropping passes, elite court vision, and fast-paced play style. And now, the Grizzlies are targeting TJ Shorts, a 5’8” American guard with one of the most inspiring underdog journeys in basketball. From zero D1 offers, to Latvia, to back-to-back MVP seasons in Europe, TJ has shocked the basketball world — and now he’s headed to the league. In this video, we take a deep dive into TJ Shorts' incredible path to the NBA — breaking down how a player who wasn’t even on scouting radars became the best point guard in Europe, leading teams to championships in the Basketball Champions League, EuroCup, and eventually dominating EuroLeague with Paris Basketball. More than just stats, we show you actual game film of TJ Shorts outplaying NBA veterans like Nikola Mirotic, Usman Garuba, Andre Roberson, and Shabazz Napier, proving he’s not just European-good — he’s NBA-ready. Oh, and it gets even more interesting: Grizzlies head coach Toumas Iisalo, the mastermind behind TJ’s European success, is now coaching Memphis. He built his system around TJ in Germany and France — and now he wants his point guard back in the NBA. This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a basketball revolution. Meanwhile, Yuki Kawamura isn’t going anywhere. After a promising rookie year and a strong G-League campaign, he’s got a guaranteed contract and the Grizzlies' full support. Both guards thrive in fast-paced, transition-heavy systems — and under Iisalo, Memphis is now the fastest team in the NBA. Could this unlikely duo actually thrive in the NBA? Could they redefine size standards in basketball the way Steph Curry redefined shot selection?
