...5"3' "Muggsy" Bogues could DUNK?! He must've had some serious hops.

I don't know about that.......I know that Spud Webb at 5'9" won an NBA Slam Dunk Contest in the late 80's. With a height of only 5'3", dunking is kind of a long shot....but anything is possible.

He must have some kind of vertical jump.

Spud was 5'7", and didn't he win a dunk contest?

isiahthomas · 07-24-2003, 03:46 PM

Muggsy Bouges has never dunked in his life LOL. Spud Webb is the only short dude in NBA history i know that has dunked. Spud is 5'7 by the way. He won the slam dunk contest at the all star game in 86 in Dallas.

ConservativeBalla · 07-25-2003, 09:32 PM

So it's a sure-100% thing that Muggs never dunked? The shortest guy in the NBA to do it was 5"7' Spud? Still, that's pretty cool.

Hmm, someone explain THIS: (About Muggsy)

http://www.ontariosd.k12.or.us/Distr...tudentjn01.htm

And, I've now seen that Spud Webb is 5'5", 5'7", and 5'9". Which is it, people?

His actual and correct height is 5'7".

ConservativeBalla · 08-19-2003, 03:32 PM

Okay, thank you. Now, does anyone care to erxplain what was said about Muggsy on that site?

Small Wonderian · 08-19-2003, 03:47 PM

maybe Muggsy Bogues did dunk at one time, but at 5'3", I just can't see how.......unless his vertical leap was off the charts......

ConservativeBalla · 08-19-2003, 04:33 PM

Maybe he jumped off the back of Manute Bol under the goal.

I use to have a friend who was 5'3' and could dunk, so it wouldn't surprise me if Mugsy could as well. I'm only 5'6' and can barely touch the rim of a 10 foot hoop, but some people are just born with incredible hops.

ConservativeBalla · 08-20-2003, 05:18 PM

I'm definitely not the tallest hoopster in the world, but I hope to be able to dunk on a 10' (10" whatever!) goal someday. I'm already taller than Muggs, though.
