[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey what's up guys welcome back to NBA game to thee thanks for tuning in in our how good was series we feature NBA superstars from back in the days and sometimes we also take a look at NBA players that we have the feeling that they are unappreciated and underrated so in this video we're gonna take a look at 5 4 3 MUX ebooks one of the shortest know these shortest NBA player to ever make it but before we start this video if you like this video please subscribe to our channel awesome in each the video you were stealing to a Facebook page like so really appreciated and it would say without any more blah blah let's go [Music] Tyrone Curtis mucks evokes was born on the 9th of January 1965 in Baltimore Maryland he grew up in the Lafayette Court housing projects he was raised by his mother after his father went to prison he played in the Dunbar High School in Baltimore where he was coached by but wait later the head coach of the University of Maryland he was teammates of future NBA stars like Dave Wingate rich Williams and Reggie Lewis he went on to play four years at the Wake Forest University averaging 11 points eight assists and three steals per game in his junior year he followed with a senior campaign in which he averaged 15 points 10 assists 4 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game when his collegiate career ended he was the ACC career leader in steals and assists now the question was could Moxie play in the NBA safe to go very at Washington Rick Barry is is noted famous for making deals might there be one well he also is noted for making some a very obscure picks at time so it'll be interesting to see who Washington comes up with well there's still some pretty good players in terms of the top 10 or 15 players out there Christian Belt the 7-footer from Washington Tony white out of Tennessee tell us Frank Dallas coma geez there are some Kent Norman from Illinois are some of those let's see what David Stern has the Washington Bullets select Tyrone bowls Bob Evans I was talking about obscure now they got the call up in the shortest Tyron bugs who's from the Washington area high school is going to be love fans there he is now the shortest player [Music] Tyron balls from five three 140 pounds 22 years old he was projected Larry Connolly as a second I know you said you thought he could easily slide into the is behind that World Championship team last year with his defense he just took some of those European stars right out of the ball game with his defense he picked them up baseline to baseline he is a pesky feisty little guy all right that we need this comparison obviously previous until a minute ago the shortest player in the NBA was spud Webb of the Atlanta Hawks Larry compare the two well I think it's a different club you know that's that's the thing you've got to look at first Atlanta has a nice Club they've got a number of good players on the inside but Boggs is very very quick and I think he's one of those types of players you can see right here we talked about him stealing the basketball I think defensively he causes you a lot of problems even if you're a six three or four guard mucks he made it to the NBA and even though he started off slow he showed that he belongs Webb gave birth to mugs one of the kids in the neighborhood came over to his house that knocked on the door and said to his wife and Mugsy come out and play with us you know they thought he was one of their buddies at the same size closer to the floor he should get it right Doc Rivers told me I said doc who's a guy you really hate to play he said I hate playing against mug people he said I bring the ball downcourt by the time you put it down [Music] 7:3 7:6 today the truth do I hear 7 7 bowling bugs went from one extreme to the other one got picked up for cool you think over the ball one time he didn't take it from you got pass him loot ball he's probably blocking it with his help [Applause] monkey start with the Charlotte Hornets and started to flourish I gotta go for [Applause] Mugsy [Applause] Muggsy squeeze through a little hole there I wasn't much wasn't much room the private [Music] [Applause] getting out of 85 41 the Tumbo against people trying to screen on him but you can see he is going to stay up he thought he got quick off boats he's annoying in many ways long days [Music] Muggsy got it too [Applause] 4638 bars because I have the ball girl a beer [Music] today [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] what the hell going on what was it like to be in Space Jam I was waiting to see how long we was gonna go without talk about space but I knew levar be that much longer MUC see got better and better his best season he averaged 11 points 10 assists and 2 steals per game in 1998 bolts were traded to the Golden State Warriors where you stayed for two years before getting traded again to the Toronto Raptors where he became a fan favourite again Muggsy Bogues I just want to congratulate this Rondo wrappers on the upcoming 20th anniversary it's well deserving the support that they've been showing over the years the fans have been unbelievable so I understand the first year that they made the playoff in 2000 was unbelievable now this is gonna be amazing so I'm looking forward to a playoff run for the Toronto Raptors Muggsy Bogues retired in 2001 so how what's the fight for three guy I think Moxie was definitely underrated having this kind of impact in the league of giants and also in the tough era Moxie was a special player you played with Mugsy Bogues who in my opinion is one of the most iconic sort of we forgot how incredible Mugsy Bogues is five foot three and played in the league like I think 15 years I mean why is Mugsy Bogues not doing TEDTalks and and and like doing motivational speaking because we need to think of outside the line thinkers think of somebody with a powerful brain think of somebody who overcame things was delivered don't realize yeah five three the only guide mugs could guard had a two guy at his position work Gary Payton and magic dumper and so I would fly over and guard those two whatever which I didn't do much better but those bigger hey and thanks for watching this video really hope you enjoy our content and if you'd like to support our channel you can do these things first subscribe to our

Skip the first minute. This is in YouTube [unnecessarily 10 minute videos] format.

Muggsy once blocked one of Patrick Ewing’s shots. Ewing’s teammates never let him forget it.

That narrator is awful.

[u/TK503]

Muggsy Bogues in the NBA is the equivalent to going against Oddjob, slappers only on goldeneye

[u/Porter_Dog]

Dude's a legend but this video is garbage.

Legend

I don't watch much basketball, is it possible for someone with a similar size and talent to thrive in today's NBA?

[u/PostsLikeARetard]

Height is such an advantage in basketball, which goes to show just how much talent Muggsy had. Absolute legend.
