Also they have manged to have a coach choked, and lead to a player suing the NBA multiple times. Worst of all...their fans want more trades including Muggsy. How is this right???? ***************************************************************** Tyrone Bogues was born on January 9, 1965 in Baltimore, Maryland. He grew up in the Lafayette Court Housing Projects on Orleans Street. His apartment was torn up. He was afraid to turn on the lights, because he was afraid to see all the rodents that lived in his apartment. That wasnt a problem usually, because the lights usually never worked. He would go outside and there was a small torn up basketball court, that neighborhood kids would sometime play in. But the kids usually played in the Projects Rec. Center. All the best players showed their skills and spent their days. Crime was a big problem and Muggsy's friends say he "learned to be quick from ducking under cars to get away from flying bullets." As a kid he witnessed a man stabbed repeatadly by a ice pick, a man beat to death by a baseball bat, and a kid shot while shooting a lay-up after one of his oppentts got in argument over a foul. Muggsy himself, was shot when he was 4-years old when a mad man thought he had broken his window and shot him with his shot gun. A kid dragged him away from the shooter to safety wich saved his life. When Muggsy arrived in the hospital, the docter found out that luckily he was shot with pellets and not bullets. Most of Muggsy's childhood was spent in the projects rec center. He and his best friend Reggie "Russ" Williams(who is now in the NBA) would spend their afternoons in the court playing basketball and hanging out. He was 5'3 and Reggie was 6'0 wich made people call the two many nicknames. He and Reggie would talk and dream of playing at the local high school Dunbar. When Muggsy was old enough to attend Dunbar, the school district forcing him to attend South High instead of Dunbar. Muggsy could only watch and hope that his chance would come when he could attend Dunhbar. The next year he transferred to Dunbar and the team went on to win the title of "1# High School Team in the Country." The team went undeafeted and continued through the rest of Muggsy's stay there. The team was so good, the futer captain of the Boston Celtics, Reggie Lewis did not even start on the team. Dale Wingate, Muggsy, Reggie Lewis, and Reggie Williams, later became starters for NBA wich made Dunbar the 1# team to advance players to the pros After High School, Bogues was recruited by Wake Forest were he was a backup for the Deacons. The next year he started but could not bring is team into the NCAA Tournemt, because of recent league transitions. The next year the Deacons failed to recruit any star players. When Muggsy won a huge stuffed bunny at a fair during the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii, he dragged around the whole tournement. Wake's coach said, "I know we are in trouble when our star is smaller than a stuffed rabbit." And the team was in trouble, and they failed once more to make it to the tournement. In 1987 Bouges was drafted by the Washington Bullets. Bogues played with 7'7 teamate Manute Bol, for one year before he was traded to the new expansion team, Charlotte Hornets. Open a Article on Bogues Draft Muggsy's carear with Charlotte had started out slow, but with the addition of Larry Johnson and Arolanzo Morning, the Hornets became a championship contending team. Muggsy faced tragedy when when his high school teamate Reggie Lewis had a heart attack and collapsed on the court, and died a few weeks later. Later that year Muggsy's father died and he once again faced death. Muggsy's carear took a turn for the worse when Muggsy's knee was injured numerous times. Because, of injuries, the Hornetts dumped Bogues by trading him and Tony Delk for B.J. Armstrong to the Warriors. Epiloge: Muggsy now lives with is wife Kimberly, two daughters, and son. He finished 98' season with the warriors, and is quoted as the "Leader of the Troops" Muggsy lives in Charolette, and is active in the community. Muggsy says he wants to retire a Warrior, and wants to stay another year in the NBA untill he retires(he will we hope!!!). A message from Muggsy:"During the time,(when Muggsy was a child)sports helped a lot with pride. Nowadays, though, they dont have rec centers anymore. The city dosen't have the money to keep them open. It breaks my heart to go back to Lafayette and see the sign on the door that the rec center is now closed. I am sure that many problems in the area if kids had a place to go, beides trouble. "The difference between NBA Muggsy, and dead Muggsy haunts still him today." Special Thanks to Muggsy Bogues for being the greateast thlete ever, Myself of course, Nancy Perry for having a great site of info, B.J. a.k.a "Smalltown" for html help, my cat, parents(I love you man), Resnet, and Julie Kent for her great photography	<
