Former NBA basketball star Muggsy Bogues is well-known for his prowess on the basketball court as a youth, in college and the NBA. At 5’3, he holds the record for being the shortest NBA player ever. But that didn’t keep Muggsy from outmaneuvering much taller players with his steals and quickness such as Patrick Ewing, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and even Michael Jordan.
Ewing: The thing that made Muggsy unique is he’s used to hearing how small he is and he used that to his advantage.
Jabbar: Muggsy is a great testimony to the fact that speed kills.
