Mugsy Bogues was pretty short but did well in the NBA.
Pretty short!? That ball ass dude was only 5' 3". He was damn near a foot and a half under a lot of his colleagues. He was quick as hell and new how to pass for the assist.
I had no idea a 5'3" guy was ever on the NBA. That's insane to me. And really inspirational in a way.
Mugsy got took by one of the Mon-Stars in Space Jam.
I can't think of a higher honor than an alien thinking you're one of the top 5 on the planet!
Played for quite a while, too.
