Chris Paul as Nawt

Nawt is the magenta Nerdluck. In the original he stole the abilities of Muggsy Bogues. Bogues was a pass first point guard who was an absolute terror on defense.

At 5’3″ he is the shortest player to ever play in the NBA. Even at this height, he was known to get up and block a shot every once in a while, including a block against 7’0″ Monstars teammate Patrick Ewing. Bogues was great in the movie as well, setting up sight gags for his gigantic counterparts.

A pass first point guard is a solid start for our revamped Monstars team, but let’s choose one who has more of a knack for scoring. Muggsy never averaged more then 11 points per game and wasn’t much of a threat from three.

The perfect PG for our team is Chris Paul. Like Bogues, CP3 is a pass first point guard who is a pest on defense, but Chris is the far superior scorer.

Paul is also a talented comedic actor. We have seen him assisting customers as Cliff Paul. But his funniest material has to be the BGCP3TV in HD spots.

Chris could handle both the basketball side and the comedy side, making him our Monstars PG.
