True. Mugsy caused an unassisted 10-second violation at least 2 times. I'd never seen that before or since until that tiny freshman for Virginia did it this week vs VCU.
Thats cause the league was under developed at that time. You'll never see a 5'3 player strapping dudes in todays league, they'll exploit the shit outta him today. Guys are way too talented and skilled compared to before

If you look at :30 to about :34, you'll see the bulls offense clearing the paint to let Jordan go to work. In a legal defense, you have to be within a certain distance to an offensive player. You'll see that while the big white bulls player runs out of the paint, the defender does not follow and instead remains in the paint awaiting Michael's drive to the basket. The defender is not allowed in the paint without being within about an arms distance away from an offensive player, thus the illegal defense
Yu Ka Chan No, an "illegal defense" is another way of saying defensive 3 seconds in the key. Like Caleb said, you can't be in the painted area by yourself without being an arm's length away from an offensive player. That's why the announcer kept saying "Parish is illegal." The call was on Robert Parish for staying in the lane for too long.
Incorrect. Illegal defense was basically a zone in the 90s. Parish was illegal because he wasn't guarding anybody. He hadn't even been in the paint for 3 seconds and, if he had, that's simply called a 3 second violation.
@@rodneymckinnon9075 not necessarily Mike has an older brother who is slightly taller than mugsy but just as skilled. MJ knows how to deal with much shorter players. Look up Larry Jordan, taught Mike everything he knew.
There's a clip somewhere on youtube of Steve Smith talking about how he came to the NBA as a point guard, but muggsy bogues forced him to change to shooting guard.

Drexler, Porter, Stockton, Malone, Olajuwon, Jordan, Pippen, Dumars, Bird, Johnson, Shaq (at his prime), Barkley, Ewing, Robinson, Mullin, Miller, The Hardaways, Jason Kidd (at his prime), Wilkins, Richmond, Payton, Rodman, Mutombo...

If Nate learned to be point guard like Mugsy and occasionally use his athleticism he would still be in the nba. Musgy was far superior as a floor general. There is no doubt he was the best the Team Leader
In case you missed it. When people say it was harder to score in the 90’s, this is proof to show you otherwise. Robert Parish was called for an illegal defense for leaving his man and zoning up in the paint to protect Jordan’s potential drive. With strict man to man rules, help defense was nearly no existent on these iso plays in the 90’s. Today, you can point to the no hand check rule favoring the offense. But implementing strategic zone defenses has made the game far more difficult for the offensive players today. Kobe has a quote back in the late 2000’s. “I don't care if you hand check us with three hands. If there's nobody behind you, you're not going to stop us. So the zone I think cripples some of the top scorers.” Oh and I almost forgot, good D by Boggues

answer me honestly. Had it been that Michael Jordan is 5'3" in height do you think he will be taken as NBA player? With his high leap do you think he can beat mugsy as a point guard?

Bugs is a total player despite being bantam.
Michael jordan is not just an athletic 6'6 guy. Jordan had all the moves his skill level was beyond anyone elses. If michael jordan was 5'3 his vertical leap would be higher because he would weigh less. Its not just about being taller and being more athletic. Its their skill level.
DemonXY2J Despite being 5'3" Mugsy is more skillful and athletic than Jordan. He had proven it when he played in the NBA. For Jordan he had proven that he is good as a 6'6" player.
