@@RemoteAdminJayJay2 my man did an a1 analysis of his playstyle cant do anything but respect it

@@clawzx1195 he was truly elite

You see some of that recently with Isaiah Thomas (the new one, not the Pistons guy). His greatest skill is that he gets into the paint with his dribble, gets a defender behind him, and then instead of lunging to the basket he goes straight up with it for a leaner, and gets the defender fouling him over his back almost every time. He can only pull that move because he is shorter than everyone, you are only going to be able to get under a trailing defender if you are shorter than him, and it is going to be a foul almost every time. He worked that move so effectively, that for a couple of seasons he was an MVP contender. Drawing fouls has always been the greatest weapon of short players.

Back in the 1970's from HS to the UofW my 5'4" 135 lb. body and mind had my focus to my always having strong legs of which made me run circles around the giants at that time. And I did run those giants good and hard back in forth with my simple fakes here and there like Bird, they all fell for it but it was all fake and back in the day those giants took fists to me but they still could not catch me. Bird never really completed his simple fakes. But it gave him lots of time. Take a good look at some of his total fake passing that confused everyone. Sure, I got crazy at times and tried for the rebounds to show off resulting in only two missing back teeth due to those elbows from the sky and I had no business being among that group working that net. There remains one world class point guard from those years of whom we have been friends for over 55 years. No. I'm off the Tee at 240 yards. The famous PG goes to up to 290 yards. I'm gonna get him soon. Thank You. DJ Seattle

Funny you should say that. I had a youth coach who taught us to block the eyes, not the ball. It worked. Strange that this technique is not used widespread

​​@@Mark-sj3xb i think the issue is that at the NBA level, the players have such good muscle memory that if they have their normal shooting motion they can hit a shot with their eyes blocked, whereas if you get your hand on the ball there's no chance they can still score. so it's worth the risk to go for the block but below the NBA? honestly idk why people don't teach that more

@@litapd311 I played streetball and it was very usual to practice no-look shooting.

So was he know for defense?

@@dripxloading I watched him play in the 90s, and remember his speed kept a lot of players on their toes. I remember commentators stating that the players he guarded had to hunch over more so that he couldn't steal their balls. He averaged two steals per game during one of the seasons that I remember.

@@VicInCommentSection Yup. He was just a good player all around. He took his 5'3 height and instead of it focusing on where it limited him, he took advantage of where it didn't. Anyone who's played ball gotta know someone who was like Muggsy. We all had that short dude who has all the tools and then also knows that their height allows them to strip the ball from bigger guys so easy. They can take advantage of passing lanes by staying low and defensively they just pester you all day long... That was Muggsy. He was always giving dudes fits because as short as he was, he had great balance and LONG A** ARMS! When you're 5'3 and can dunk, that's just crazy. I know he didn't do it in games but he could jam with zero issue due to his insane vertical combined with his long arms. He was smart, could shoot and get to the rim, great at getting loose balls and working the entire court. He was impressive to watch.

@@dripxloading His defense was definitely a strong part to his game. He would get real low and even small PGs are at least 6ft tall so they had 9inches on him, so he'd get under them and just wreak havoc by getting at the ball for the entire game. You don't see it often, especially with the rule changes of today that don't allow the defender much wiggle room without a foul being called. Imagine Patrick Beverly but 5'3... Thats probably a good comparison of how he played defense. Always on the ball, making the right read on screens, invading passing lanes and getting steals. He could score though. It's not like he didn't have that ability.

@@mk-ultramags1107 You said "especially with the rule changes of today that don't allow the defender much wiggle room without a foul being called" and I was just wondering what your thoughts are on how good/bad of a player Mugsy would be in today's game of basketball.

He was as quick as a damn rabbit, just like it the video bits, he would just pop out of nowhere and take possession. He was fun to watch and in my opinion he played in the best era for the NBA, so it's not like he wasn't up against so-so's and has-beens. I wish all athletes would bring it like he always did, then sports would be fun to watch again.

honestly you have a pint specially at 5’3 he had to have insane court vision and just great basketball iq if he was 6’3 would def be a all time great

I love and admire Muggsy, but frankly in today's league, he likely wouldnt get picked or have a long career. Tall players now can handle the ball well, shoot well and are quick. When Muggsy played you had 5'10 PGs, that is hardly the case anymore. Also handchecking is gone. How Muggsy is guarding MJ in the video isnt even allowed anymore. MJ would just go past or shoot over him. Not only dont we see a 5'3 guy anymore, we dont see anyone smaller than 6' really. It was always the exception, i mean look at how good you had to be at that size: Stockton, Nash, Isiah Thomas. Those were about 5'10 guys and they were so much better in every aspect other than height.
