The "smallest guy on the floor" could be joining some giants.
Muggsy Bogues -- the 5-foot-3 dynamo who was, and is, the shortest player to ever play in the NBA -- is among the first-time candidates for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, along with Rockets legend Tracy McGrady, and gritty Pistons star Ben Wallace.
The full list of candidates eligible was unveiled Wednesday.
Bogues, drafted by the then-Washington Bullets after a Wake Forest college career, had 39 blocks in his career -- even one of a 7-footer Patrick Ewing shot.
