5-foot-3 Muggsy Bogues claps back at NBA parody account making fun of him and Isaiah Thomas

NBA legend Muggsy Bogues was not having any disrespect online after firing back at a parody account that mocked him and Isaiah Thomas. While Bogues and Thomas are two of the shortest players in NBA history at 5-foot-3 and 5-foot-9, respectively, both had very successful careers.

In a post on X, Bogues clapped back at the NBA Centel parody account for taking a shot at his and Thomas' heights. Centel mocked the two former stars by claiming that the two-time All-Star employed the help of Bogues to "take his game to the next level."

While some might take the post seriously, the 59-year-old legend responded with a classic "South Park" Gamer Guy/Fat Computer Nerd meme. He insinuated that the person behind NBA Centel was an old computer nerd with nothing good to do in his life.

NBA Cental is a parody account known for posting satirical news, memes, and more to elicit reactions.

Bogues is the shortest player in NBA history at 5-foot-3. He had a long career in the league spanning from 1987 to 2001. He averaged 7.7 points, 7.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his career.

He played for four teams, including the Washington Bullets, Charlotte Hornets, Golden State Warriors, and Toronto Raptors.

On the other hand, Isaiah Thomas is one of the shortest players ever at just 5-foot-9. Thomas was a two-time All-Star with the Boston Celtics, joining Calvin Murphy as the shortest player to make an All-Star Team.

He's also the shortest player in history to make an All-NBA Team and be named to more than one All-Star Team.

Isaiah Thomas poured his heart and soul for the Boston Celtics, wherein he became a two-time NBA All-Star, and at one point, one of the best scorers in the league. However, Thomas was not happy with how the Celtics handled his hip injury which severely affected his career.

"The thing that hurt the most was that nothing was explained to me. If you tell me, 'This can possibly get worse, this is what you have,' then it's on me to make the choice. But it was none of that stated. I was just going in like, 'Okay, I got a bone bruise. I can figure this out like I've done my whole life,'" Thomas said on a recent appearance in the 'Knuckleheads' podcast.

The former NBA player added:

"They shot me up to go into the Wizards series, I got shot up three times, every round. The last one was right before Game 7 of the Wizards series. Then in Game 2 of the Cleveland series, I get hit by a screen, and it just shoots to the back of my hip, and I’m like, 'What the (heck)?'" [H/T HoopsHype]
