Crazy how mugsy played so many seasons and players like Aquille Carr can't even make it.

Earl Boykins is another great example that doesn't get talked about

Aquille Carr was a typical Baltimore fukkup tho...Had he played atleast 1-2 seasons at Seton Hall, he would've made a NBA Roster

Ay man, this thread got me :laff: for real.

My man really thought Mugsy could jump that damn high and it wasn't a video game (although an old head I knew from DC who grew up with Mugsy said he could dunk a volleyball off the toss). Still, Mugsy's head was over the rim! Come on man. :usure:

That Curb Your Enthusiasm clip :salute:

The ant argument.

Knee grows thinking Spud could jog up to the rim and still dunk that easy when it wasn't that easy 30 years ago.

I'm literally crying tears laughing at you goof ball ass knee grows, man.

Everywhere...You never there.
No, I really thought that was an actual dunk ... :francis:

:wow:

That's my childhood sports hero :mjcry:
I remember being 10 years old and amazed I was almost as tall as him when I went to his summer bball camp

The Wake Forest camp... Dave Odom & company?

My team won first place. Still have the trophy.

Big ups to Muggsy getting into the NBA at his height. He was looked at as a side attraction but the man was a legit baller. Not only did he make the NBA he thrived and started for several years and put up some decent numbers.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
:damn:

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" :wow:

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. :wow:


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

Bruh...we were just talking about Shabazz Napier and how he's undersized and I couldn't think of any strengths in his game,


Mugsy was a beast to make it in the league
