Mugsy Bogues only being 5'3 should be talked about more

[jadillac]

I know Spud Webb was 5'7 and Nate Robinson is like 5'8, but 5'3 is a whole other world.

Imagine how many times he heard, "You'll never make it"

He never had eye-popping stats, but Imagine how GOOD he had to be to even get to the NBA and maintain a spot, at that size.


Imagine a dude being the height of a 5th-6th grader and in the NBA

I met Muggsy when he played for the Raptors before a preseason game. Unreal that he could hang in the NBA at his height. Props are definitely due. He always had a great assist/turnover ratio, not a fancy handle but impeccable ball control. Was always good to have in the game at the end when the other team was pressing/fouling.
