Muggsy Bogues was more than just a novelty on the court. When he retired from the NBA, he ranked 13th in all-time assists in NBA history. Moreover, Muggsy was well known for his speed, agility, and defensive style of play.

In his entire 13-year player career, Muggsy never once dunked the ball during an official NBA game. Perhaps unsurprising when you consider his height, but it does beg the question — if he wanted to, could Muggsy Bogues dunk?
