<strong>A candid and insightful memoir from one the NBA&#39;s most unlikely stars.</strong><br /><br />Growing up, Muggsy Bogues was always told he should do something else, anything besides basketball. He never acknowledged his many doubters except to prove them spectacularly wrong.<br /><br />Twenty years after receiving his first basketball as a toddler, he stood proud—at five-foot-three—as the starting point guard for the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA. From the East Baltimore playground courts where he earned his nickname by &quot;muggin&#39;&quot; opponents for possession of the ball, to Dunbar High School where he excelled alongside future NBA players, Bogues set the tone in his early years for the great heights he&#39;d reach professionally.<br /><br />In this new autobiography, Bogues delves deep into his life and career, reflecting on legendary battles with Michael Jordan, John Stockton, and other generational stars of &#39;80s and &#39;90s hoops. He shares far-ranging anecdotes from playoff runs in Charlotte, filming <em>Space Jam</em>, and even watching a young Steph Curry grow up.<br /><br /><strong>Conversational and clear-sighted, this is a story of uncompromising vision and fleet-footed determination during a golden era for the NBA.</strong>
