NBA fans did not see it coming. Former NBA guard Muggsy Bogues, also regarded as the shortest player in the league stunned fans with a bizarre dancing video that made its way to social media. The 14-year veteran was seen grooving to Bossman Dlow's 'Shake Dat A**" and this had fans sharing their two cents on the clip.
Bogues was seen rocking a pair of blue shorts, a custom Mugsy Bogues white T-shirt, and crisp white sneakers in the 18-second clip.

@theghostofgeert had a more interesting question.
"Why does Muggsy look exactly the same as he did 25 years ago?"

"That man so geeked i bet he looking at aliens"
@thatguytre10 commented:
"What’s even funnier is everyone knows exactly what song he was dancing too before clicking on the video"
Bogues plied his trade for the Charlotte Hornets for 10 years and later had stints with the Washington Bullets (now Wizards), Golden State Warriors, and the Toronto Raptors. After calling time on his NBA career, he served as head coach of the now-defunct WNBA outfit Charlotte Sting.
"I'd see guys get really frustrated": Muggsy Bogues on players playing a guard of his stature
At 5'3", Muggsy Bogues carved a name for himself as a brilliant defensive specialist and playmaker. His full-court press would leave fans in awe and he was a pesky force for opponents. In an earlier interview with HoopsHype, he explained how he was a challenge to a conventionally-built NBA player.
“When you’re facing a guy like me who’s constantly full-court pressing all day and challenging you for the ball, that becomes annoying. I’d see guys get really frustrated, which is what you want when you’re a pest. Those are some of the things that come with the game – you need to know what each player can bring to the table… It was unique for these players to go up against a guy who’s my size; a lot of them had never played against a guy my size.”
Such was his impact that even Michael Jordan had listed him as one of the tougher players to take on 1v1. Muggsy Bogues retired in 2001, but not before carving a name for himself as a quality NBA star.
