Mugsy was fast because he worked hard to be fast, not because he was born with "fastness".

  So it was only one short guy who wanted it and a bunch of tall ones?

    One? No. There are other short players in the NBA.

      You're right, there have been 25 guys 5'9" and under. There are 494 players in the opening day roster for 2018-2019. I guess the little guys just lack the desire to get in there.

        Desire? No. Grit? Probably.

  The advantage in basketball frequently oscillates between big/slow and small/fast. The best teams always have a mix. Mugsy choose to capitalize on his "small and fast" talent. It's coaches who make the decision to augment teams with speed.
