Hi r/NBA! I'm Muggsy Bogues, the 5'3" former starting point guard for the Charlotte Hornets. I spent my entire childhood being told I should be doing anything else besides basketball -- then went on to make the All-ACC first team at Wake Forest and play 14 seasons in the NBA.

Being the shortest player to ever play in the league had its challenges, but as my mom once told me, people canโ€™t measure your heart. That's something that I've tried to instill in Steph Curry, Chris Paul, Nate Robinson and the other young guys coming up, which you can read about in my recent interview with MEL Magazine. You can follow me on Instagram here, and be sure to check out my recently published memoir, Muggsy: My Life from a Kid in the Projects to the Godfather of Small Ball.

Iโ€™m here to answer any questions youโ€™ve got โ€” AMA!

EDIT (4:40 EST): I have to run, but if you have time before tuning into the game tonight, come check out the Muggsy Bogues Family Foundation, any donations go a long way to helping at-risk youth and families in need. Thanks for all the great questions r/NBA, this was a lot of fun!
