His lack of height made him excel in areas that other players with more height &#8220;overlooked.&#8221; But he wasn&#8217;t some gimmick.<\/p>\n<p>After a great high school career he was offered scholarships to Virginia, Penn State, Seton Hall, and Wake Forest, where he ended up playing in college.<\/p>\n<p>A four year player, he really hit his stride as a junior. He averaged 11.3 points, 8.4 assists and 3.1 steals per game.<\/p>\n<p>He played even better as as senior, he averaged 14.8 points, 9.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game. In 1986\u201387, he led the Atlantic Coast Conference in steals and assists.<\/p>\n<p>To this day he is Wake Forest&#8217;s all-time leader in career assists and steals.<\/p>\n<p>After the end of his senior season, Bogues played for the USA national team in the 1986 FIBA World Championship and won the gold medal.

In barely 20 minutes per game, he led the team in assists (5.1), steals (1.6) and scored 5.0 ppg. Even with that production, the Bullets left Bogues unprotected in the upcoming NBA expansion draft.<\/p>\n<p>The Charlotte Hornets selected him and they never looked back.<\/p>\n<p>In the six seasons between 1989 and 1995, he finished in the top FOUR in the league in assists every year except for one.

In that period of time only John Stockton had more total assists.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>RELATED &#8211; Tallest Player In NBA History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bogues\u00a0was also an underrated shooter, maybe the most forgotten aspect of his game. For his career he shot 82% from the line and constantly had the ball in crunch time.<\/p>\n<p>For as much of a facilitator as he was, he averaged double figures in PPG for three years in a row even though he never averaged more than nine shots per game.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this article for a great breakdown\u00a0of where\u00a0Muggsy\u00a0stacked up against some of the greatest point guards in NBA history. It\u2019s pretty surprising.<\/p>\n<h2>For as short as he was, Bogues wasn\u2019t a liability on defense. He finished in the top 10 in steals for three seasons and accumulated the 48th most in NBA history.<\/h2>\n<p>If anything his relentlessness on defense gave opposing offenses fits because he was impossible to prepare for.<\/p>\n<p>He was all over the place at all times and caused a young Doc Rivers to remark once, \u201cIt felt like there were five\u00a0Muggsy\u00a0Bogues\u2019\u00a0out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But just numbers alone don\u2019t do him any justice. They give you an indication of how productive he was, but don\u2019t paint the entire picture.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion he is the quickest point guard I have ever seen, perhaps rivaled by a young Damon\u00a0Stoudamire.<\/p>\n<p>And even though he was insanely quick, he was rarely out of control as his career 4.69 assist to turnover ratio would indicate. The amount of energy alone he brought to the floor every night made the Hornets a better team.<\/p>\n<p>While he was with the 90s Charlotte Hornets, the team went from expansion squad to playoff contender, becoming one of the most popular teams in the league mostly because they were so fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>MB was always pushing the ball on the break, dishing off to a Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson who would usually finish with monster dunks.<\/p>\n<p>So back to my original question; with 6-7 being the average height of today\u2019s NBA player, and fundamentals as\u00a0underappreciated\u00a0as they have ever been, would\u00a0Muggsy\u00a0Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history, even get a look?<\/p>\n<h3>Related NBA Content:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Erik Spoelstra: The Best NBA Coach You Forgot About<\/li>\n<li>Today In NBA History 1990: Scott Skiles Assist Record<\/li>\n<li>Best NBA Hairstyles of the \u201990s<\/li>\n<li>Boban Is Most Efficient Scorer EVER and Tobias Harris Thinks It&#8217;s Hilarious<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muggsy\u00a0Bogues height is 5\u2032 3\u2033.
