I can still remember how Muggsy Bogues excel in NBA despite his size. As we can see on his game highlights he was really quick and instantly react in every situation. I guess that's how basketball I.O. really works and it could be your edge if you possess those things even if you are being outsized by someone.
I check on the internet for reference in regards to the smallest player in NBA, I guess no one beat yet on Muggsy Bogues record as he is the smallest so far. As we can remember he played several teams but he is really renowned during his stay in Charlotte Hornets where he played for around 10 seasons before he decided to play to transfer to other teams.
I guess being small or being outsize in basketball is not a hindrance that you can't compete instead, what we learn from Muggsy Bogues is that we need to do some hard work on it so we will excel. If you aren't that tall and you want to play basketball then do some initiative on how you can perform well. I am sure that in every disadvantage there would be some hidden advantages, you just need to unlock them within yourself.
If you have time, I would suggest doing some streaming on Muggsy Bogues highlights and you will see how good he really is during his time in NBA.
