NBA's shortest-ever player to have his jersey retired
The NBA's shortest-ever player, Muggsy Bogues, will be honoured by the Charlotte Hornets as they retire his jersey.
Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history at 5-foot-3, will see his jersey retired by the Charlotte Hornets. His jersey will be unveiled during a half-time ceremony in February. Bogues' 14-year career with the Hornets, Golden State, Washington, and Toronto saw him averaging 7.7 points and 7.6 assists. The average NBA player in his era stood 6-foot-7 and weighed 213 pounds. Bogues defied expectations, becoming a role model for his size never limiting one's potential.
