Muggsy Bogues and the Significance of the Number 14 | MEANINGFUL JERSEY NUMBERS 

14 seasons is so impressive at that height

Where is your sam cassell unintentional comedic genius video? I want to rewatch it multiple times.. it never fails to make me laugh even if i watched it many times

Back in early 90s when NBA basketball peaked, all the boys in my school loved Jordan/Shaq/Robinson whilst the favourite amongst the girls was Mugsy.

I always enjoyed Muggsy. He wasn't good enough to be in the HoF on pure stats and impact, but I hope he has an exhibit in the Hall as an interesting and fun player. He was a good player for several years with Charlotte, being near the league lead in assists and leading the league in assist to turnover ratio multiple times; he may have been thought of as a novelty but he really could play. He also seemed like a cool, happy dude and was really easy to root for even as a Laker fan. My favorite Muggsy highlight wasn't on the court, though. He was on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Conan of course challenged him to a game of 1-on-1. Conan took what looked like a pretty legit turnaround jumper and _Muggsy blocked it._ It wasn't a blindside block like most of the ones he got in the NBA, he just straight up blocked 6'4" Conan on a turnaround. I can't find a clip of it now, but it must be out there somewhere.

When I played youth basketball in Berlin, Muggsy Bogues was one of a few players I chose number 14 for, the others were Jameer Nelson, Charles Barkley from the Dream Team and Sam Perkins. It's a number not a lot of star players have worn through the years.

Mugsy Bogues looks like an ambivalent vulture.

Can someone explain to me how he played with the national team straight out of college basketball without being drafted first to a professional league?
