Muggsy Bogues Pulls Off the Seemingly Hard
Even by his standards, this is above and beyond what he did in every game.
We believe we discussed one of Muggsy Bogues’ greatest plays—the night the 5-3 Bogues stopped a shot by the 7-0 Patrick Ewing—briefly when we spoke about him the other day.
The New York Knicks and Charlotte Hornets played in an April 1993 game, and while this has always been amazing, we discovered something today that is quite astounding.
If you’re unaware, the < > keys on your keyboard next to the M will advance or reverse the movie frame by frame so that you can view it properly. That will come in use here.
When Bogues stops talking (around 0:08 into the video), pause it, and then press the right arrow to witness something truly remarkable: Bogues blocks the shot on the way down.
It’s amazing enough that he stopped a shot from someone who was about two feet higher than him, but what’s even more amazing is that he was able to anticipate the move and jump high enough to catch it as he was falling.
There really won’t be a Bogues II.
