Spud Webb played for NC State in the 1983-84 and 1984-85 seasons, averaging 10.4 points and 5.7 assists. He was drafted in the fourth round of the 1985 NBA Draft. He is best known for winning the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk Contest while being the shortest person to play in the NBA.
Twenty years after Webb's victory in the Slam Dunk contest, he trained Nate Robinson (who stands at 5 feet 9 inches tall) to win the event. Webb tossed the ball to Robinson, who leaped over Webb and dunked, earning 50 points from the judges. Robinson went on to win, making him and Spud (at the time) the only two people in NBA history under six feet tall to win a slam dunk contest.
Spud can often be found making autograph signing appearances, corporate meet and greets and talking to groups of all sizes. A true inspiration as a guy who overcame poverty and many obstacles to achieve great things Spud would be a fantastic speaker for your sports banquet, corporate group, or association.
