Tyron Curtis "Muggsy" Bouges is an American retired basketball player. The shortest player ever to play in the NBA he has 5 ft 3 in (1.60 m). Even though he was a manlet, his career was going in the right direction, the moment of a match and meeting with MJ
"Johnny said physically Jordan and Pippen were about the same as defenders. But when you add in MJ’s ruthlessness and trash talk, that put him ahead of Scottie. When Johnny was coaching with the Hornets in 1995 they had a good team. Glen Rice, Mourning, Johnson. Series was tied at 2 and Hornets had a chance to win game 5 in Chicago. On the biggest possession of the game, Mugsy had the ball with the Hornets down 1. Jordan backed off of him and told him: “shoot it you fucking midget.” Mugsy shot it, didn’t come close. A year later Mugsy actually told Johnny Bach that he believes that single play ruined his career. His shot never recovered."
From that moment his career began to fall down.
