Will there ever be another muggsy bogues or earl boykins?
- Thread starter MikelArteta
- Start date
He would snatch the ball from anyone. He was literally calling out steals on some Mookie Blaylock shyt. But for obvious reasons he was only so good of a defender. It’s not like you were gonna put Muggsy on somebody and tell him to shut him down. He’s taller than them but Chris Paul is probably the only 6’1” and under player who was a LEGITIMATE great defender.

We’ve had Quinn cook, sharife cooper and Marcus nowell.
There will never be anyone mugsy height unless Julien newman somehow makes it

It's hard for nikkas under 6'4 these days to even make it. Muggsy Bogues sized player will never exist in the NBA ever again, modern offenses would straight up abuse him on switches

Lowkey a under 6' Filipino dude on the right team could become a cult hero bigger than Linsanity

Trenton’s finest. We’ll never get stories like his again. 5’7” D3 and made the league.

He was physical and good at getting steals, but I don’t know about overall. There’s only so much you can do at that size.
He’s not merely short for a basketball player. He’s very short for an average adult male.
Absolutely amazing that he made and lasted in the NBA at that height.

If you are under 6'0" (and ESPECIALLY under 5'10") yet have NBA caliber/elite athleticism, you'd be better off playing soccer, hockey, football, baseball, track....anything.
Basketball is a tall man's game. The athletes are a few notches below other sports because height filters out 95% of the population. A 6'4" man (think D-Wade) is probably 97 to 99th percentile for height among all men in the world. In hoops, 6'4" is normal for a PG maybe a smallish SG and noticeably undersized for any other position. Basketball and volleyball are the only sports were being taller is ALWAYS an advantage. Other sports, height can work for or against you in different situations (tall jump ball receiver = good; tall RB = not as good usually).

Facts. Muggsy might be the both remarkable athlete ever just for that. He's even shorter than the average woman in America. The average woman is 5'4".He was physical and good at getting steals, but I don’t know about overall. There’s only so much you can do at that size.
