[@prlysis]

Met Muggsy at the YMCA about 10 years ago. He was super nice and kind enough to sign my Hornets snapback. Bogues was top-7 in assists in six straight seasons, top-10 in steals in three of those seasons, had 146 career NBA double-doubles, and had the best assist-turnover ratio in NBA history.

[@juliusdeloach]

It's kind if obvious he would have best assist turnover ratio considering how small and fast he was

[@biggotti2744]

@@juliusdeloach not really because most of his passes were either going upwards or he had to bring the ball up higher to make passes which would make his passes more vulnerable to get stolen

[@tiborpataki749]

[@willthomas7666]

Nah.its actually the opposite.from where he was really small and undersized.he had better chance of getting a pass stolen..what he was able to do in the NBA was actually kinda crazy

[@johneta7665]

This interview was so nostalgic. I grew up in central Pennsylvania about an hour north of Baltimore and We heard so much about the legend of the these Dunbar teams. Back when everything was Word of mouth before the Internet and social media you only heard about these guys. So to actually hear the story from the mouth of Mr. mugsy is priceless. 💯

Man mugsy bogues has so much heart. There’s a video called “tough enough” from the 1980s nba superstars volume 1 and it shows guys like mugsy and spud Webb destroying the rest of the league. It’s worth watching. All the smoke continues to bring it! 💨🏀

Muggsy Bogues always stood out on the court for me. He was my father's favorite basketball player because of his size & energy. Great interview that covered just about everything I wanted covered.

[@jarrellmason9080]

B-More has been pumping out ball players (RIP Reggie Lewis and Len Bias). Muggsy was always a fan favorite in Charlotte and had game to back it up. Being from NC the Hornets were everything. The purple and teal jersey was fire along with their Starter gear.

Great interview I will never forget watching space jams and he certainly stood out to me and once he started speaking I instantly heard his Bmore accent

[@matthewwangerin6951]

This could have been a 3 hour interview. Mugs brought up several topics that could have been fleshed out. He mentioned Kendall Gill twice. Gill was one of two Jordan prototypes before Kobe. The other was Harold Minor. Gill was nasty!! You asked about Len Bias but he didn't expound. At the time the debate was Jordan vs Bias with many saying Bias was better. Not in my book but that was the frenzy. I know it was a little before y'all's time though. Lastly, he touched on guys not being able to post him up. The mistake players made was trying to post up him and Spud because they were short. It never worked. Guys with no post games trying to post, then they missed, got ripped, entry pass got stolen, etc. Basically an automatic turnover but guys never learned NOT to post the King 5 footer! Great interview!

[@jbmp1390]

Underrated GOAT for sure. Muggsy Bogues does NOT get nearly the amount of credit he deserves. And he could dunk too! It was amazing to watch him play when I was growing up! A true talent, one of the most important players in NBA history. Salute to Muggsy Bogues man 💯

I learned drop step from Mugsy during a middle school practice. Great move for a smaller guy going against aggressive shot blockers

[@missayawk]

I know Muggsy has a million stories, but one I remember is when he went to Five Star ( which was the premier camp prior to ABCD and Nike).Muggsy was being Muggs.Just a defensive juggernaut stealing the ball and running the break with flair.Rick Pitino during one of his " stations" made a comment to the effect: we have some players who like to go behind their backs and between their legs, but that's not the style of play we do here etc.( he was talking about Muggsy)I think Pitino was coaching at Providence at the time.I think Muggsy got the Best Playmaker and Best Defender award.When he went back to Baltimore, among the numerous college letters was one from Providence.Muggsy didnt even open it and threw it straight in the trash.After Pitino tried to diss him, he knew he would've tried to change Muggsy's game for the worst.Im just sorry Big John ( R.I.P) didnt sign Muggsy.Georgetown was a defensive terror back then.Muggsy stealing the ball and Ewing blocking them inside.They would've gotten another chip

[@tiborpataki749]

Mugsy is the man!

[@DIVIN3KINGDOM]

Muggzy is a straight up legend!

[@missayawk]

I remember when Dunbar played Camden ( NJ ) with Billy Thompson and Kevin Wall.The Camden crowd was laughing when Muggsy came out for warm ups.When the game started I think Muggsy ripped Wall on the 1st 2 possessions.He had their guards shook.By the end of the game the Camden faithful was giving Muggsy a standing ovation after him and Dunbar blew out Camden the top ranked team in the country.It was a sight to see.Thats what Muggsy did to people.. He changed their minds and convinced them he was a force on both ends.5'3"!!!! Damn the cheerleaders are taller than him I still remember one kid saying.
