I saw him play. I was a big hornets fan, and I liked the guy. He used his quickness to bother dribblers on the defensive end, and because he was so short, his dribble was harder to stop. He had a decent outside shot.

Muggsy was a good player. A lot of heart, good defender, decent jump shot. It's amazing how someone that small can put up decent numbers IN THE NBA, let alone make a HS JV team.

He was great to watch on the early Raptors squad; that's where I really paid attention to his game. My dad loved him, how he could still be effective at his size. His heart is what made him achieve what he did. Kind of felt sorry him him at times though, watching him play, and seeing ANY point guard post him up. Couldn't score very well but he could dish with the best of them. Never really had a jumpshot down pat either, kind of shaky. But man was he quick, he could steal well. I even remember seeing him run through big man's legs to get past them. Almost impossible to strip him, too. Great overall player to watch.

Muggsy Bogues is one of the most incredible things in basketball ever. 5'3 and can't shoot, but still one of the best pg's in the league in his prime. I don't think there can be anyone who didnt like his game.

Manute Bol, 7'7 Center from Sudan. Led nba in blocks a couple of times and strangely enough liked to shoot threes (usually not very well) in the later years of his career.

ya gotta give love to muggs!

15th all time leader in assist and able to thrive in the best league in the world-- at 5'3"!!

it was simply amazing to watch him on the court with all the big trees-- darting in and out. on defense, he was like a gad-fly--- always bothering and hawking the ball. he was a "hornet" in more ways than one


anyone have a video link to muggsy blocking ewings shot back in 1993?

[Manute for Ever!]

He was the perfect compliment for LJ, back with the Hornets, Muggsy could dish it with the best of them. He was an absolute blur when he was running and he could apparently dunk a volleyball! (I have nothing to back this rumor up). He probably had the largest quads of anyone in the 90's, his thighs were enormous. My best friend in early high school was a Hornets fan, so naturally, I went against them, but I still loved Muggsy

i thought it was KG... but since he's white... im going with Dirk...

Muggsy a great PG in the 90s. I loved watching him play. He was the leading assists man for the Hornets in their first.....7 seasons, I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Still an amazing passer. Imagine being as short as the average woman and still seeing all of those passes in the NBA. Crazy.

His best statistical season:

1993-94

10.8 PPG
4.1 RPG
10.1 APG
1.73 SPG
.03 BPG
35.7 MPG

FG% .471
3PT % .167 (2-12)
FT% .808

He averaged 4.1 rebounds a game at 5' 3"?? Marbury has no excuse.
