Hot Shot Swanson

Proving that height ain’t nothing but a number, Hot Shot brings the “A game” and sauce to his mastery of dribbling and ball handling. As the shortest player in team history, the “Michael Jordan of dwarf basketball,” Hot Shot has followed his passion for basketball without allowing his genetic condition of dwarfism to stop him.

A true inspiration for youth everywhere, Hot Shot not only teaches kids basketball skills, but has helped kids dealing with bullying or “differences” recognize that they control their own dreams and can work to make them real. Hot Shot preaches practice and inner motivation, and often talks about how he was a kid constantly practicing his dribble and going to sleep with the ball in his hands.

Hot Shot is the hottest Globetrotter on social media, with a mass of followers who have loved the videos he shares of his speed, handles, and agility on the court. With shout outs from Kyrie Irving and other ballers, Hot Shot walks the walk, letting his skills do the talking. Those skills have gained him notoriety online and in the media, including a feature on CNN’s “Great Big Story” in February of 2020.
