Re: Muggsy Bogues: Anyone see him play?
[QUOTE=Round Robin]I mostly remember Mugsy when he was on the Hornets...He seemed to get as much attention for his height (5'3) as his overall skills...[B]Wasn't a great player [/B]but he was fast and played with a lot of grit. He was kinda like a cult favorite for a while, he had his own lil' fanbase, a lot of people loved the guy. He seemed like a likeable guy off the court too

Re: Muggsy Bogues: Anyone see him play?
[QUOTE=dawsey6]Who put Muggsy on Jordan in that play?
Unless there was a pick or something...[/QUOTE]
The play came in game 1 of the 95 Bulls-Hornets first round series. I clearly remember it. The Hornets got caught up in a switch and Muggs ended up on MJ for one play. Knowing that he can post Muggs all the way down to the hoop, he decided to call all of the Bulls bigs out of the paint to expose the Hornets illegal defense. The refs called the illegal D in the Bulls favor.
Anyways, Muggs was a decent shooter and good at running the fast break. He was really quick but couldn't slash if bodied up by a bigger defender.
