Nothing less than incredible that Muggsy Bogues was a long time NBA player

It's the heart, not the height.

I play pickup basketball with a guy who is 5'3", and I delight in the times I am matched up with him (I'm 6'1.5"). I can't even imagine NBA players' excitement playing against a 5'3" player. It truly is unbelievable that he played 15 years. Honestly, I think he deserves to be in the Basketball Hall of Fame (which frankly isn't that hard to make).

Shows how sorry the league was back then.

For real, though. Was his ability to play in a league at his size against all those big dudes a bit of foreshadowing to a way to beat big teams with small lineups? Or has that always been a strategy?

Muggsy, Grandmama and Zo with the Hornets were good times.

Remember when he wanted to beat Larry's arse on Curb Your Enthusiasm?

I always liked Mugsy.

I spent a week at Wake Forest one summer and saw Muggsy walking his ten speed. It was comical how short he was. Dude was cut.

Never forget the adversity he overcame that time his basketball skills suddenly disappeared, which remains a mystery to this day.

He was a really great player. In the NBA, guys like Chris Paul are considered short at 6'0. Yet he is slightly taller than me(5'10).

Muggsy was freaking 5'3. That cant even be compared. That is the height of my freaking fiance. I cant imagine my fiance dunking on me. I dont think there would be any embarassment in the world worse than that.

That picture of him guarding Ewing looks like a Dad playing with his son.

He was a little force of nature. You couldn’t hardly dribble around him, he was already down there. He’d just swipe it.
