The delight on Muggsy Bogues’ face was evident as he walked through the new museum exhibit celebrating the Charlotte Hornets — especially when he found someone shorter than he is.
That’s a rare occurrence for the 5-foot-3 Bogues, still a fan favorite and the shortest player in NBA history. But at the splendid and just-opened Charlotte Museum of History exhibit, there’s a life-sized photo cutout of Bogues in a Hornets uniform. It turns out that Fake Muggsy is a bit shorter than Real Muggsy, as he proved when he stood beside himself.
