Remember watching this game with my friends on Vacation in Bosnia. we were all pissed that Mugsy Bogues put Drazen out of the Game . For me the Best WC in History

Short player but big heart

[@omnivorous65]

Fascinating stuff. For one, Bogues was a superb defender. Strong. Great footwork. But he has another thing working in his favour: Being defended by a player that small is a disconcerting new experience for any player. He crouches so deep that he almost disappears from the offensive player's field of vision. He knows he 's there, he feels his presence uncomfortably close but he does not see him. And there is nothing in his playing career that prepared him for that experience. You need constant visual data to gauge the action of you defender. And guess what it does to you when that data is scant or absent? Your mental circuitry is completely overloaded dealing with a novel situation, stuff you normally do unthinkingly suddenly demands conscious thought. And that mental effort subtracts from everything else, decision making, reading the court and forces you into a bad game. Bogues' short stature becomes his secret superpower.

As good as Bogues was credit has to be given to Coach lute Olson who devised this plan that everyone thought was crazy, except the team that is. What a genious Coach was.

[@MrLoaded2012]

Unforgettable championships. I had the official T-shirt. Tyrone really drove legendary Drazen crazy.

Partido memorable en Oviedo. Fue un lujo para Asturias ser sede del mundial. En este grupo también participó Italia y Argentina. Una auténtica pena no poder ver este partido en mi propia ciudad, estaba de vacaciones... This match was played in my city, Oviedo (Spain).

Amazing! Nice job! Thank you

[@yasminmahmutovic6159]

Petrovic was thé MVP of this World cup and certainly top 10 SG alltime .

[@antoniocarrascosa6060]

Me ha encantado...El tal Bogues ese día dejó a Petrovic en 4 puntos, 2 canastas, vamos...

[@marcroigcebrian]

[@Mrcinaable]

Dobar je Muggsy bio igrac za svoju visinu medu onim gorostasima u NBA svaka mu cast stari moj svaka cast.

[@diosdadoapias]

Please answer. had drazen been a 5'3" player like bogues do you think he will be taken to play for Yoguslavia in 1986?

[@lokismig]

No!

[@Mr.PR2000]

Alot of players never would have made the nba or any pro league. Muggsy was just that unique and a freak athlete.

[@diosdadoapias]

do not be-little the small one this are the ones that can slip into your eyes and cause you eyesore. The small ones can make fall the big and tall ones when they slip into your way.

@CroPETROforever pa jest al' ga je muggsy rasturio ovu tekmu...ova tekma je bila jedna od crnih rupa draženove karijere (a zna ih je imat)...

[@nascut1984]

1986 World Cup was the best basketball world championship of history.

[@eufrat100]

nascut1984 ne bih da se raspravljam, ali izjava je subjektivna. Mozda ako je kriterijum dreka navijaca!

[@diosdadoapias]

You know why? because there was a 5'3" player who played in that world cup. All other cup have 6 feet high and above.

[@oneactoneda4393]

I've been saying this for years. 1986 USA had impressive run. The most underappreciated winning team ever and they didn't got credit they deserved

[@vbabic001]

Magzi je pre bio marketinška atrakcija nego ozbiljan igrač. Draženu je mogao biti neugodan dok se ne navikne i to je to.

[@DenisTheCoach]

Hmmm... 14 koševa i 19 asistecija i nekoliko ukradenih lopti u jednoj tekmi ne bih nazvao marketinškom atrakcijom, već vrhunskom igrom playmakera...

[@oneactoneda4393]

Mougsy defend his opponent much better than the defender in 2019 USA

[@crni77]

s kim se svađate gospođo?

[@Mr.PR2000]

Imagine how annoying it must have been in practices trying to make plays while he is everywhere in the practice court swiping the ball away 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ytanonymity3585]

Back when USA took the world cup league, seriously and really trying to all out their games !
