At 6 feet 9 {{1/2}} inches (2.07 m) tall, and a weight of 210 lbs. (95 kg), he played as a combo forward (small forward-power forward). Myshkin was able to break up all of the defensive schemes in European basketball, due to his unique skill set.
He was named one of FIBA's 50 Greatest Players in 1991. He was among the 105 player nominees for the 50 Greatest EuroLeague Contributors list. He was nicknamed, "The Prince".
==Club career== While playing with CSKA Moscow, Myshkin won eight consecutive Soviet Union League titles, from 1977 to 1984. Even though his team was a FIBA European Champions Cup (EuroLeague) regular, Myshkin never had the chance to play for the European-wide top-tier level continental title.
==National team career== As a member of the senior Soviet Union national team, Myshkin led them to back-to-back EuroBasket gold medals in 1979 and 1981. He also won the gold medal at the 1982 FIBA World Championship, in Colombia.
==Coaching career== Following his retirement, Myshkin became a coach, and he coached the clubs CSKA Moscow, Arsenal Tula, Universitet Surgut, and Dynamo Kursk. In 2013, he became the head coach of the Russian women's national basketball team.<ref>[http://www.fibaeurope.com/nfID_381.coid_H1t1ZbtQJpgXS1rztcxN00.articleMode_on.html Myshkin Ready For Russian Challenge | FIBA Europe] 22 December 2013</ref>
