NB80's: Muggsy Bogues & Manute Bol

NB80's takes a look back at the careers of Muggsy Bogues and Manute Bol, and their time together with the Washington Bullets when they set the record for greatest height difference between teammates in NBA history.

[@zyxwut321]

There's few things that make me happier in this world than watching Manute Bol shoot and make a 3 pointer.

[@ethanwhite9731]

I know... it's like watching a catapult launch a brick

[@TyphoidBryan]

It is beautifully bizarre.

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

zyxwut321 because its GS

[@jakestein3235]

RIP Manute Bol and Darryl Dawkins gone but not forgotten

[@jamesloria5352]

5 blocks in one play ?? you gotta be kidding me 😂

[@DailyScratcher]

James Loria nigga finished with like 26 blocks lmao

[@douglemmikey1082]

It was 4.

[@DrLuke49]

Bol had six 3's in one half too

[@davcar3568]

In the video Below the Rim, Muggsy Bogues actually criticizes the Washington Bullets for drafting him. He suggests the Bullets drafted him for a 'novelty act' and 'just something to sell tickets' but were not really committed to him. It was done to have him play with Manute Bol, but Bogues didn't find it amusing.

[@technine9770]

davcar35 i always had that theory, i always thought they just wanted a novelty, but both were very good players

[@whomiketrann]

People thought he was gonna be a joke, but in reality he was a really good player. He was a good on-ball defender given he's only 5'3". On top of that he was a great passer, averaged more than 10 apg in two seasons and averaged more than 7.5 apg over 9 seasons. He lacked size, but had a big heart, never stopped working. I admire players like him.

[@yannick245]

A joke? Who drafts someone as a joke _(wasting a pick)_ and let 'em play at the NBA for over a decade?

[@university8035]

​@@yannick245 Muggsy himself believes he was drafted as a novelty/mascot. It took a while for people to realize he was a genuinely good point guard and some still don't know.

[@yannick245]

​​@@university8035 He was also part of the same roaster as Manute Bol _(the largest NBA player of all time),_ at the Washington Bullets, for one season. Because of Bol being so slim, it really looked like he's twice the size of Bogues! There's a famous picture of them next to each other. _Edit: Oh, it's in the clip! I was just answering to a notification._

[@TBSandNFL]

"block it with his elbow" Jesus fuck m8 lol

[@aikinsyeboah3086]

+TBSandNFL i died when he said that

[@dnap2526]

TBSandNFL quit saying Jesus. he died for your sins stop using it in vain

[@unitedhighlights4789]

Techmo stfu

[@isaacherskovitz3276]

no one nope. free fucking country m8... Im Jewish i don't believe a word of this Jesus thing, but you can believe whatever you want. So can we

[@impulse_xs]

@@dnap2526 but could Jesus score 1 on 1 in the post vs Manute?

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

even Manute can make a 3 in GS

[@rmkw4291]

Manute is really skinny despite his big height. Almost makes me think how he could stand.

[@DailyScratcher]

rmkw4291 I know it's so scary looking at him walk lmao

[@am33x]

+Daily Scratcher Looks like that spider with long legs.

[@Thulgore]

@oskrrr92 Deontay Wilder's legs are freakishly skinny. (at least from the knee down)

[@jordenpalinkas9532]

looks like a stick figure

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

Characteristic of their tribe...but they killed lions.

[@ruudperez9635]

If Manute had played ball since he was little Lord knows what type of player he would've been

[@PickledKhan]

They need to put Manute in 2k

[@wyattburke6103]

PickledKhan IKR, but I think they wont since he is dead.

[@user-nw6se9yc7j]

Wyatt Burke wilt is dead 15 years ago what are you talking about,??

[@wyattburke6103]

The Ball Won't lie I'm talking about Manute Bol.

[@user-nw6se9yc7j]

Yeah..But you say he's dead and that's the reason he can't be in the game...Then why Wilt is still in game??Cause he dead too

[@wyattburke6103]

The Ball Won't lie He has been dead for awhile. Manute has only been dead for 5 years.

[@AkeemDenim]

I got nothing but love and respect for Manute. He was a great man, a role model that put his family and country first. The world would be a better place if there were more like him. R.I.P. Manute! Salute!

[@DJE6693]

Manute was a giant. I remember him coming to my basketball camp and he almost broke his fingers from a pass, but he did do a standing dunk which was awesome.

[@aww773]

Funny thing is Manute and Spud Webb were college teammates... the greatest height differential ever between college teammates and he and Manute have the NBA record for height differential

[@ibervillezee9142]

Andrew Waber not true. They just showed him with a teammate that was 4 inches shorter than Spud Webb.

[@ibervillezee9142]

Andrew Waber Obviously you can't read. You also said that he and Manuel had the biggest NBA differential. And if you meant Mugsy, you should've worded it better, genius.

[@jonathan-cc5yz]

Andrew Waber hboii

[@iammerlikeaboss]

1:35 that form though...........

[@MeatySmirk]

lmao

[@cowboytanaka6675]

He had problems with his joints

[@bitspacemusic]

"you knew Bol was probably blocking it with his elbow" lol

[@birkanfincan8546]

Thank you NBA I had the opportunity to see these valuable players

[@heruapocalypse2021]

The Smile on Manuel Bol was Classic lol! 😆

[@AkeemDenim]

You are right! Both of them were/are great men that hopefully inspire other people to walk in their footsteps.

[@HTMAJPW]

The fact that they have JAZZY JEFF is in this makes it 10 times cooler. Remember Mugsy, he was such a crafty little dude on the court!

[@mileskenzie117]

What a coincidence that the tallest and shortest players in NBA history were on the same team at one point.

[@multiyapples]

RIP Manute Bol Gone but not forgotten. May God and Jesus be with and bless you, your, family, friends, and fans

[@jlb197736]

Eye roll

[@neo4921]

jlb197736 blocked your bitch ass

[@multiyapples]

jlb197736 Neo please be respectful to each other and the deceased. lets not turn this into another immature internet argument no matter how we feel about each other, Manute Bol or what was said

[@jlb197736]

multiyapples once again, eye roll

[@multiyapples]

why?

[@MrDrunkCat]

More NB80's please!

[@eXtectiX]

Muggsy will always be in my heart

[@cashzerothehero]

Mugsy Bogues.. a little man with a big heart!! Manute Bol, a wonderful person. R.I.P

[@marcio.185]

Do tempo que a NBA prestava.

[@JoeJohnson0101]

[@ClassyLad]

[@derekcalunsag1607]

Apparently there’s a game where mugsy drove the ball through manute bol’s leg, pass an opponent & then made a lay up

[@Carini13]

[@Dabballer6]

[@kevinjm96]

[@CHITOWN1987]

they didnt have a 2nd all rookie team back then, they started doing that a few years later

[@jwill2k225]

he said blocking it with his elbow💀😭

[@superman1113215]

fun fact: manute bol weighed as much as jeremy lin

[@jdhakes1]

Nice

[@piratemnmyayo]

RIP Manute Bol

[@caltaylor174]

1:38 Oh yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh!

[@foteee123]

Would of been the best if cool aid guy just broke through the stadium on the three pointer and was like OH YEAH! RIP Manute

[@CheckMyReviews]

RIP MANUTE BOL

[@nicozimmer25]

this two should be on nba 2k13, it would be hilarius

[@epocketlsaml]

Manute Bol would block you with his elbow... hahaha... Both Mugsy and Manute made NBA more exciting. RIP Manute.

[@Goldenblade14]

Manute Bol is the a great defensive player. All he has to do is raise his arms.

[@zyconnn1675]

muggsy with da steal and manute with da block dam it woulda been a hella defensive team. Oh yea later they got cookie monster so

[@guidorodriguez768]

How to get spanish subtitles?

[@dylanheim7664]

Can I see both of there cars please

[@Patrick-ni7bs]

I can't believe how tall and skinny Manute was R.I.P legend

[@CHITOWN1987]

there is no way he would make an all rookie team just being a defensive specialist you have to remember patrick ewing was a rookie with him but manute actually made the 2nd team all defense that year

[@himmothyyy]

I wish this bullets team was in 2k13 if im not mistaken harvey grant horace grants identical twin brother was in this squad aswell

[@BreezyRemy]

I thought they were gonna play each other 😂 😛 😂

[@ciklprr]

If someone gets all-defense second team in his rookie season he should get all-rookie second team.

[@CHITOWN1987]

his rookie year he averaged 26 minutes and led the league with 5 BPG

[@WildDanHibiki]

Jazzy Jeff!

[@shoulderollHD]

R.i.p eman

[@fleshyspeakers]

Manute Bol is fucking balling.

[@chawboy32]

manute bol was so skinnt

[@malcolmhernandez1590]

Damn Manute was tall

[@CharlieG5]

manute need to be in 2k12

[@AwfulXXXNoob]

1:14-1:19 priceless

[@pierrelouis8188]

Manute Bol was better than Gheorghe Muresan.

[@miguelrosales6667]

oh no ! Wait he made it ! Oh noooo !!! Lmaoo

[@DailyScratcher]

Miguel Rosales hahahahahaha

[@FilipoSooaUlufale]

Muggsy Bogues should've made an appearance on every version of NBA Hangtime whether it'd be based on 1995-96 or 1996-97 as a member of the Charlotte Hornets. It's sad that Muggsy spent his later years with Golden State and Toronto from 1997-98 to 2000-01.

[@OPL21stJS]

"My crime record is longer than Manute Bol" Rip Manute Bol. Rip Big L.

[@ahmedabdulrahman1357]

that is the funniest 3 ecer

[@ahmedabdulrahman1357]

ever

[@MasterSadd]

Who was taller George muresan or manute bol? ??

[@theloner6063]

Manute Bol >>>> Shawn Bradley >>>> Muresan >>> Yao Ming

[@CHITOWN1987]

im pretty sure manute is the only player in history to have more career blocks than career points. The man averaged 5 block per game in only 25 minutes per game lol

[@Ralphie5023]

How many championships does he have ?

[@master-kq3nw]

david and goliath they were a fun team, they were supposed to stay in washington

[@Oneiric28]

It's crazy to think he was 7 ft 7 (2.31m) and just 200 lbs (91kg)

[@zacharyjones7948]

0:48 And I just wanna know how tf they stacked three balls like that

[@lildre7092]

In 2k18 all time wizards

[@lilrob10201]

Muggsy comes us to Bol's knee cap.
