Muggsy: Always Believe

- Muggsy Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history, lives by the motto "Always Believe", and that guided him to greater heights than anyone could have predicted, including his rise from Baltimore, to Wake Forest, and ultimately to NBA success.
Mugsy deserves to join the Hall of Fame
Hell no, he didn't produce enough on the court to be in the hall of Fame. He only averaged 7 points and 7 assist for his career. Only averaged 10 points or more in 3 seasons out of 15. The hall of Fame is the elite of the elite, he was never in that category. Good player, he it's even close to a hall of Fame player based off stats. That would open the door for the hall of Fame to more players with better stats. Good player for his size, but he was never a elite point guard or considered one of the best while playing.
With him, it's more than numbers. He's a one of one. Hasn't been anything like him since. Definitely a Hall of Famer
@@jamesjack7074 that doesn't make him a Hall of famer, being short and making it to the NBA doesn't automatically make him a NBA hall of Famer. He was never a All star player or on any NBA defensive list and averaged under 10 points a game for his career. He didn't have Hall of fame stats, it's based on play not Height. He was never considered one of the top five point guards in the NBA while he was playing.
But does the hall of fame deserve Muggsy? 🤣
Man the 90’s Hornets…
The most inspirational basketball player in all of human history. To play at 5'3" against giants and to successfully compete for 13 years is an inspiration to all players under 5'7". He is the small man's GOAT - he beat incredible odds and succeeded due to his speed, skill and desire. Thank you Mugsy.
He played bigger then kwame brown 7 foot ass lol 🤷🏾♂️
@@Dr.J.Kelleytv YES! Lol. And he was #1 pick! Shows you MJ was the GOAT on the court but not off! Ha
Dnt 4get about spudweb
@@larmond. Spud was great. But there is a huge difference between a guy who is 5'7 and 5"3. Spud was great but Mugsy was really inspirational because he used his speed and his being so close to the ground (compared to the giants) that they actually feared playing against Mugsy because they knew he had a chance to steal the ball every time they dribbled Big men were always looking to see where Mugsy was on the court because if they couldn't see him it meant he was behind them and he was going to steal it. Just an amazing player to last 13 years. Shaq said his toughest opponent was Mugsy.
@@larrywarshauer1127 I overstand all that bro 4inches not really that big of a difference but I’m not here saying mugsy isn’t great bcuz he was was 1 of my fav players growing up I watched mugsy but spudweb to b winning slam dunk contest at his height is inspirational in itself Dunkin’ on 7 footers when ppl told him he couldn’t also… hands down the 2 best shortest players in nba n aba history
There needs to be a movie made of Mugsy’s Bogues life. Truly inspirational!
They need to fr fr!
Not only the shortest player in NBA history, and a more than serviceable one at that, this man was a legit projects kid. He got shot before he was 6 and his father was convicted of armed robbery. It's said where he grew up young males didn't expect to live past 20. Everything was against him and he did it. Nothing but pure respect to this man.
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever
Word up. Impossible is nothing.
At 5'3" played 14 seasons in the NBA, and for the majority of those seasons, he played as a starter...A STARTER! As a Knicks fan, even I was wearing Hornets gear in NYC, due to that team. Heck, a lot of New Yorkers back then were rocking Hornets gear, because of how much we loved Muggsy, Johnson, Mourning and Curry.
Grew up in chicago, those days were filled with people sporting hornets gear. Muggsy was loved everywhere
Only team I picked on NBA JAM!!!
Yup. That was My favorite team
and L.J. Mr 4 Point Play is My All Time Favorite Player .
So Glad The Charlotte Hornets are Back 🐝
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever❤
Real tears man!! Talking bout getting his mom a house!💯 Respect
Typical of poverty stricken black kids that become men in professional sports
Tyrone “Mugsy” Bogues is a living testament of defying the odds to make his dream to play in the NBA come true. He’s a true legend.
Possibly the most unique player ever. I honestly don't think there will ever be a player his size as good as Muggsy was.
Listening to Muggsy feels like listening to an old friend i haven´t seen for ages. Thank you Muggsy, for beeing such an inspiration over all these years
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever
Being 31 and only 5'2 It's amazing how much this truly makes u belive in your self
We need more Muggsy Bouges in the NBA again to be real with you
I’d love that, but it’s becoming more and more unlikely as the average height goes up lol. Muggzy is one of a kind.
@@Kizdo69 I honestly not a fan of big men being point guards because of their knees long term
Says no current NBA player.
Unless they could have him on his team!
@@Kizdo69 The average height and weight of NBA players are still the same since the 90s. It's still 6'6/7 and around 215 lbs. The only problem that mugsy will face in today's game are defending the three point shooters. Teams today shoot way more 3s and mugys will not bother any of these shooters.
@@peterstark4562 you’re right I just checked and the average height peaked at around the year 2000 and has actually surprisingly gone down a little bit since then.
Oh my heart! Muggsy you are a living legend! So humble, yet incredibly powerful too! I cried with tears of joy watching this - I needed this inspiration today!!! God bless you Sir and your family!
I feel the same way!
He is one of the best players ever. I use to do 3 of his moves in tge 90s and 2000s
I cried when I saw him crying GOOD LORD I’m too emotional myself
You HAVE to be incredibly great at the game, even more so than other players to even make it in the NBA at 5'3. So much respect to you my brotha
Get this giant in the hall of fame.
Muggys was my favorite player growing up. Watching this video has reminded me also favorite player today.
Does anyone know what the song playing at 1:04:39 is
Short point guards like Muggsy and Zeke will return at some point
@@dreamcage1801 baby got back brittney spears
I had heard the name 'Muggsy' and seen him in various NBA videos and always wondered what his story was.
This is a beautiful documentary about the Legendary Muggsy. This documentary has made me cry considering his family situation as a kid, his tenacity, confidence, determination to succeed no matter what and his unparralled success in the NBA as a 5'3 man.
I appreciate how the fans, his former teammates and the players from other teams acknowledged his significance to the game when they played.
God bless Leon Howard too wherever he is for creating the legendary Muggsy.
Much love!
They should play this in all the schools so kids can see what hard work and dedication is
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever
Thank you for giving the man his props.
Muggsy Bogues was a problem on the court. This is an amazing story. People really dont overstand why people become successful. Also S/O to Mr. Howard. Need more people like him in this world believing in the kids to teach them & give them the information & proper tools to succeed in life period not just sports/ entertainment.
This!
I love Muggsy! He's soOo inspirational. He's got not just talent but a lot of heart! I love that he looks out for other people too and lift them up. Very positive person. Thank you for your story.
The greatest little man ever. I love this story
I grew up in Charlotte from 91-98. We split season tickets with my best friend next door, Carson. His dog was named Muggsy. I attended Muggsy’s summer basketball camp 3 times where I was given the task to guard Muggsy’s son. A lot of times that didn’t end too well 😂
Muggsy had a profound impact in the city of Charlotte. He was an iconic person that brought our culture a unique posture to believe in yourself despite what it looks like to others. He was always my favorite player to watch because he reminded me of myself: the one many doubted.
This was very timely for me to watch. I’m nearly 3 years sober by the mercy of Jesus Christ. I have been struggling with what God has called me to do this past month. Some of that has been influenced on what others have said about this calling paired with my own unbelief. Muggsy believed who he was. He knew his identity. Im a child of God, more than a conqueror through Jesus who loves me, rooted and established in love with the ability to do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
Thank you Muggsy for reminding me that I am who I am because of what I believe.
1 Corinthians 16:9- A great door for effective work has opened to me, but there are many who oppose me.
I watched Muggsy live this out. It’s my turn to walk through this door that the Lord Jesus Christ has opened for me…
can't believe the young generation still doesn't know about this powerhouse player-
Mr. Leon Howard is an Angel sent from Heaven. He is such an inspiration. What a good man. 👏👏
I was hoping someone else made this comment before I did. It's a reminder that as adults, we are so impactful in the lives of kids. Sometimes without even knowing it.
Howard was the most powerful figure in a incredibly powerful documentary. He changed those guys' and indirectly their families' lives....out of genuine sincerity to help and teach. 7:25
Athletic director believed in him, high school coached believed in him, college coach believed in him and drafted in 1st round. Sounds like a lot of people believed in Mugsy.
Goes to show that others are very important in the success of a person
@@chrisisslick Not one person who has survived to adulthood has done it alone. Somebody was wiping butts and feeding us for us to survive to a coherent age. I agree with you 100%.
Because he showed them his heart and he worked on his skills so duh who wouldn't want him on his team it was all his doing
@@jrojas1807 Who said people didn't want him on their team? It was said nobody believed in Mugsy, I simply pointed out that plenty of people believed in him.
I feel NBA fans in the 80s and 90s really appreciated basketball.
Muggsy was a great player. He was so fun to watch during the Hornets days and Toronto. God Bless Him
I was lucky enough to be living in Charlotte at the time when Muggsy was playing for the Hornets. He was the shortest professional basketball player ever, and a truly real life giant! Thanks for the memories and the inspiration.
We all need a Leon Howard in our lives. Happy Father's Day. It's not only for DNA, but people who had that ROLE!
As soon as this video crept up my timeline, I knew I had to sacrifice my Monday afternoon to watch this.
Such an inspiration..... MUGGSY LIVED IT!! WHAT AN IDOL.
THE MIRROR SHOULD NEVER TELL YOU YOU CAN'T; IF IT DOES, CHECK BACK LATER AND BE REST ASSURED THAT REFLECTION WILL SAY "YES YOU CAN"!!!
Muggsy, It was an Honor to Meet You at the Greensboro Car Auction!!! You are a Great Man!!! 🛐🛐🛐🛐
I watch this with my son for 30 days straight ❤❤❤
Growing up Muggsy was my favorite player and being a North Carolina kid I got to see just how big of an inspiration he was to kids growing up here!
"Mugsy" is one of the best nicknames for any athlete ever 🤙
5"3 inches tall 😱😱 wow ... So small but so fast so talented deserve to be hall of fame
He doesn't, he didn't produce enough on the court. He didn't have elite stats. Players that produced more aren't in the Hall of fame, being short doesn't make you a hall of fame player. He only averaged 7 points a game for his career, Dennis rodman averaged that in his career but he was a elite rebounder and defender. Mugsy was never a elite player
@@lilcourtny08 so the fact he was 5’3 in the league doesn’t deserve a hall of fame entrance? Tell me who else did that? No one. Pretty extraordinary. He was insanely fast and athletic to even be considered entering the league at that height
@@jamalydude That doesn't make him a Hall of fame player. Allen Iverson was a big player. He was listed at 6'0 but probably 5'10 and 165 pounds. He had hall of fame stats and lead a team to a NBA finals. Mugsy was never the best player on a team. The hall of fame is far elite players not for players that made the league under different circumstances. look at his numbers nothing nis hall of fame about his stats
I just wanna say that all those saying Mugsy doesn't deserve to be in the hall of fame don't really know what they are talking about so just over look them I get his stat's might not be the greatest but all those who have watched Basketball and played know that everything on the floor doesn't always show up on the stat sheet a player can have the biggest impact on a game and not score the most points he brought all the energy and everyone else brought their play up because of him he is an all time great and I have no problem what so ever if the let him in the hall of fame heck I think they should period
This is one of the most amazing documentaries I’ve ever watched.
This documentary right here and that heart Muggsy had is so inspirational! I can relate to this on so many levels. I am 5"6 42 years old now at 235 pounds and I used to play running back and linebacker because I used to feel like a man among boys out on that field. All them small and short jokes didn't matter on that football field cause it was NEVER about the size of the dog in a fight, but rather the fight in the dog! I used to impose my will on ANYBODY that got in front of me just like Muggsy did to EVERYONE that ever doubted his heart. Thank you for this! Muggsy I hope you read this, I grew up in Camden, NJ and my older brother was killed in 1983 by a racist. You know what he got for that? 7 years in jail. It's alright though because God don't like ugly and with that being said, thank you for inspiring the world and proven everyone wrong by imposing your will over theirs.
Sorry to hear about your brother. The world has some evil in it for sure. This video proves the total opposite also live on this planet and it is those whom we should strive to be.
Baltimore Legend
Mugsy deserves a movie to be made about him!
Real talk!💯
I was like 6 years old watching him on tv. He was one inspiration for me to play ball.
One of my favorite players and one of my biggest inspirations. Thank you for existing Muggsy
My GOODNESS! What a documentary. Simply Amazing.
5.3 unbelievable and inspiration to all the young ones .
When I think of Baltimore basketball, its a born and raised thing. Someone who represents what Baltimore is! MUGGY
I was at that first game in Charlotte, and I was at all of them. I had season tickets, and I never missed a game. I loved the relationship Muggsy had with people like LJ. Those guys appreciated what he was doing. I will always have fond memories of those days with the Hornets. It’s too bad the management at the time were too shortsighted to keep the team together long enough to win a championship, because we had the talent to win it all, with Muggsy leading the way.
This guy ended his career 12th all time in the assist chart and is still in the top 25 for all time assists. He did that with a noticeable 10 year stretch with the hornets and that’s very impressive at his size
The most inspirational basketball player in all of human history. To play at 5"3" against giants and to successfully compete for 13 years - an inspration to all players under 5'7. He is THERE GOAT - he beat incredible arts with his speed, skill and desire.
I love his realness..them tears are from a humble sincere place..good God I feel it
Definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Thanks for all the good memories, Muggsy.
Muggsy in jamaica 🇯🇲 is known as a THE SHORTEST MAN IN HALL OFF FAME .. beautiful player off the game
Always Believe... Thanks Muggsy
I'm 5'10.5 and played DL for my JC, HS and pop warner, but yeah, gotta have the heart, without that when your size is limited, you're not getting anywhere in life, loved this show about Mugsy
This was a damn good video on the greatest shortest player in the NBA, Tyrone "Mugsy" Bogues.
This was absolutely excellent and I agree with so many, this man deserves the HOF more than half the ones already in there!!
One of my favorite players to watch play the game of basketball. Thank you! #1
Big respect to Muggsy. Goes to show will and belief can create big things.
this was so inspiring I enjoyed watching every minute of it for I grew up watching Muggsy on tv during the 90s he made basketball fun to watch and will forever be an inspiration that any dream is possible for anyone if they believe
For those who didn't experience it, it's hard to overstate the cultural impact that Muggsy and those Charlotte teams had not only on basketball, but popular culture. While it will always be my favorite era in NBA history, it was also an era plagued by several 'what ifs' that sowed the seeds for the demise of the Eastern Conference, which was stacked with enough young talent to keep it competitive following MJ's retirement. Obviously you had the tragic passing of Reggie Lewis in Boston and the premature breakup of the Hornets, but then Shaq fled to L.A, Penny and Hill's careers were decimated by injuries, the Celtics missed out on Duncan in the draft, McGrady left VC in Toronto prior to becoming a superstar, Ray Allen was shipped out West etc. All these events essentially paved the way for two decades of West dominance. Too bad we never got to see the Hornets and the rest of these teams battle it out in the way they were meant to.
Heart of a champion
17 minutes into this and it’s great, just wish the multiple glitches didn’t cut out some key moments. Muggsy is a legend🟣🔵🟣
Mugsy was such an inspiration to so many. I wish there was more players in the modern nba like him. I have so manu fond memories watching him play.
What a great story on so many levels. Guy is so inspirational and has such a positive energy about him. Played at the highest level during possibly the most competitive and difficult time in the history of the sport and flourished. Amazing heart and self belief. Such creativity to develop his own style of play when there weren't role models of his stature to learn from and emulate. Awesome stuff.
This was Excellent!!! More of these legendary players Please!!!
I’ll never forget seeing mugsy in space jam when I was 6! Legend 👑
I really enjoyed this ☺
He was the most inspiring nba player for me as a kid, so much fun to watch.
Thanks for this. Missed it live when it aired on NBA TV.
In my wildest dream this movie came true. Was a fan when I was a kid. Thank u muggsy!
There’s only one Muggsy Bogues!!!the 90’s era was the best!And one of the most remarkable player of that era was Muggsy!!!maximum respect!!!!
I would like to talk to him in person haaa, I admire him very much, there’s people who come to this world to give lessons of life!!! 🤗
Beautiful story ❤️❤️❤️
14 years in the NBA !! With the size he was, the good player he was, it was with a lot of resilience that he was a winner, he should be in the hall of fame...
This story could make an amazing movie gosh....🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽
Mugsy u are my hero , love you bro
What an incredible, awesome, inspiring documentary!! He is a BIG man!
I was a Hornets fan as a teenager. Larry Johnson, Kendall Gill, Mugsy Bogues, Alonzo Mourning, David Wingate. They had a squad, everybody was jus young. Wish they would have stayed together a while.
Mugsy is the greatest little guy that has ever picked up a basketball.. I don't care what anyone says about him and his height because none of those haters have ever played 1 second in the NBA.. If you are 5,10ft and under then you have to be either crazy or a great athlete like Mugsy was so I commend him on his determination and the heart that he had to play against the hardest players to have played the game.. Mugsy played during a time when they could foul you every play and no fouls would get called.. Mugsy was a warrior and he deserves all of the accolades because he overcame the obstacles and diversity and became the greatest little guy to play the game..
it's too bad this team never put it all together and went deep in the playoffs. team of my childhood
fkkkkng ran into Jordan, their best year.... sucks
what a great watch this was!!
Muggsy should be an inspiration to everyone that "you can't". On top of overcoming great obstacles he was a pretty good basketball player.
it was our pleasure to have you in Toronto Tyrone, thanks
All Heart and Soul!!!
Wow What a documentary everyone got to shine (LJ, Mourning, Curry, and his friends). From a Lakers fan that had Muggsy Merch :)
1 of my favorite basketball players of all time. Muggsy Bogues. He blocked all that negativity out n showed that no matter how short he is he had serious game
First two minutes has caught me already 💯🤞🏿
It's crazy how all that bad energy from people he got for being small, came full circle to people loving him for that same thing stay true to you.
I'm 5'5" I played basketball with my peers I couldn't touch the rim but I got pretty close. I dreamed of dunking the ball but never did, but I'm ok with it. I was inspired by muggsy playing in the NBA.
wow what an inspirational human being.god bless us all always and forever.
One the illest ever! Everything about this kid was Crazy Dope! If Having A Heart was a person
Gotta be the most beautiful story on the tube!!!
This is an exceptional story
He was truly a one in a million miracle on the basketball❤ definitely should be in the hall of Fame
We as Black men in America needs more positive Black men like Mr. Howard... The emotions Muggsy had while talking about him brought tears to my eyes.
Beautiful Touching Story.....
Thank You for making this video... Muggsy has always been on my mind over the years... He's a(n) INSPIRATION 👉🏾 STILL , He will NEVER EVER be a(n) has been in my eyes , but the opposite. The real MVP (June 2024❤️)
This is a motivational video 🙏🏽 Hopefully a future Hall of Fame player...his courage deserves it!
I haven't cried so much in a long time
I love watch him play!
