The shortest ever player to play in the NBA is also the best among the lot. Manipulative and sneaky with height, Bogues’ game comprised of steals, assists and pace.
In 1988, during an expansion draft, the Charlotte franchise drafted Bogues, after which he did not look back for 15 years. A Hornets’ favorite, Bogues was often seen as the guy who should have made a deep run in the playoffs instead of scrambling towards even earning a playoff berth.
In an era which was the most popular for the Charlotte franchise as a whole, Bogues stood out not only for his height but his talent, that even the tallest of players including Patrick Ewing, were forced to fear him. During his prime, he averaged as many as 8 PPG and APG, and 39 blocks.
