Read the passage. Muggsy Bogues: Standing Tall
Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for fifteen seasons, most notably for the Charlotte Hornets. A popular player, he was known for his incredible agility and speed on the court. But when he was young, many people thought he would never be able to play professional basketball. The reason? At five feet three inches tall, Bogues was considered too short to master the game. Even after he won a basketball scholarship and began playing for Wake Forest University, commentators announcing the games mocked him. The turning point came when Wake Forest went up against North Carolina State University on national television. During that game, Bogues earned twenty points and had ten assists (passes to another player who then scores a basket), silencing his critics. When he was drafted by the Washington Bullets in 1987, he became the shortest NBA player in history—a personal and professional triumph.
