To this day, it baffles me how Muggsy Bogues at 5'3 was able to have a 15 year NBA career

[itsyoung!!]

Pretty much….. you could be a starter back then on some teams and stat line be like

6.7ppg 5.2rb 3.7ast .9stl 33mpg


Gelo Ball stats WAAAAAAAAAY better than that but coli say he don’t even deserve to be on the bench in the NBA

6’6 Gelo stats were better than this during his multiple 10 day contracts?

You referenced Isiah Thomas. Dude was shooting almost 40% from the 3 point line to drop 30 a game. How's that indicative at all of how Mugsby Bogues, a dude who could barely shoot the 3 would do in this era.

Listen , if you have autism or some kind of mental disability I really dont want to go back and forth with you, because I cant understand why you are so fixated on fukking 3 point shooting in this thread about a 90’s basketball player that was never discussed as an offensive threat

 

[Bryan Danielson]

It's called a role player

Roberson, PJ tucker, thybulle from philly.


They exist today still

shyt and Luke longley or Cartwright wasnt?

IJS though….. it is what it is


You and I could’ve started for the clippers in 85

dont really see a need for personal insults breh

Im bringing up 3 pointers, because you brought up one of the best 3 point shooting seasons in history as proof that Mugsy Bogues, who couldn't shoot 3's well, could play in today's NBA

Grew up down the street from Muggsy’s people during his playing days in Charlotte. Whenever he’d come home to Baltimore and visited we would know it’s him because he always had this slick sports car with #1 on the license plate. One time me and my friends saw his car parked in the driveway and knocked on the door. We asked was he inside and he came to the door happy as hell and gave us all autographs gave us some advice. I was about 12 and already taller than him Love Muggsy!

thats not why i brought up IT. I brought up IT as an example of a short person thriving in todays league, making your original point useless.

LJ, Zo and Bogues was one of the coolest trios in the 90s. Too bad it only lasted for three years.

One of my boys from college said he saw mugsy play ball in high school and swears on his momma that mugsy dunked during a game…
he was even shorter

People forget muggsy was an elite athlete. My boys in the DMV saw him dunking clinically in High School…before his growth spurt

One of my boys from college said he saw mugsy play ball in high school and swears on his momma that mugsy dunked during a game…
he was even shorter

Yeah thats enough

Look at his career shooting splits from ‘96-‘97 to the end of his career

He was a very accurate midrange shooter

Muggsy was strong as shyt & the only two guys he couldn’t guard in his era from the PG position was Magic & Payton. The disrespect is trash
