Muggsy Bogues - "I'd probably have about 30 every night" in the current NBA

[Illuminatos]

This midget is delusional.

 

[BlackAchilles]

These old players are so delusional. Bogues would actually be made irrelevant in today's game because of the athletes now. You just don't see these type of guys like Bogues anymore who don't really have it athletically because the league is now made up of freaks who are all quick, strong, and can jump.

Not to get too sidetracked, but compared to the 90's it seems like we've seen a "regression towards the mean" in terms of player size

Not only do we not have guys like Muggsy or Earl Boykins, but the Mhuresan/Bradley/Bol type players are gone too

An unathletic midget just led his team to 2 wins in the conference finals...

Curry is like 6'2" while Bogues is 5'3"

 

[Spaceman Piff]

How isn't it the same?

first off.. one is joe montana and the other is muggsy bogues..


and there have actually been 5000 yard seasons.. even by a mediocre qb like matt stafford.

nobody's averaging 30 assists a game..


this is more like jeff garcia saying he'd average 9000 yards a season in this era

 

[Regular_P]

Bring back negs.

 

[ISO]

You wish lil nikka

Are you talking about Kyle Lowry? He's 6 foot, quick AF and one of the strongest guards in the league. Also, he's a great three point shooter and defender.

Isaiah and Nate are 5'8 but both are built AF, could shoot and handle, fast AF and are crafty/athletic in the air.

 

[bl2k8]

what if Joe Montana said he'd throw for 5000 yards in today's NFL?

It's essentially the same thing. The rules have changed.

No it's not fool. Joe Montana is arguably the greatest QB of all time

This clown mugsey never averaged more than 11 ppg in has career

Not even remotely the same

 

[King Jove]

Pete Chilcutt would score 20 ppg in this era.

Bogues definitely had it athletically. You can't be 5 fukking 4 and playing in the NBA and not have it athletically. Matter of fact, he was probably one of the most athletic players ever if we really think about it.

 

[Lord Beasley]

Breh would avg 8 tos and 7 assists...


And he wouldn't be starting ever, Kyrie alone would take his first born 1on1

I know what your saying but I mean you just can't really make up for being 5'3" and you don't really see anyone Bogue's size surviving in this nba.

I hear you, and I understood what you were saying too but I just felt like you chose your words wrong. Bogues is an athletic freak pound for pound - just like Nate Robinson and Earl Boykins.

 

[NSSVO]

How isn't it the same?

Two different sports, and Joe Montana is arguably the greatest QB of all time.

 

[GilSho]

I don't know what's funnier Bogues actually saying this or a few posters in here claiming the title's misleading he meant 30 assists like that's not even more outrageous.
