Alright, let’s talk about something that crossed my mind the other day. I was thinking about those classic NBA days, you know, the 90s era. And Muggsy Bogues came up. Incredible player, especially considering his height. Standing at 5’3″, playing point guard in a league full of giants? Amazing stuff.
So, that got me wondering about a small detail – literally small. What size shoes did Muggsy wear? It just seemed like a curious piece of trivia. You figure, smaller guy, smaller feet, right? But how small?
My Little Search Mission
First thing I did, obviously, was just punch it into a search engine. Typed in “Muggsy Bogues shoe size” and hit enter. You usually get a quick answer for stuff like this.
Well, it wasn’t quite that simple. I saw a few different numbers pop up right away. Some places said size 9, others said 9.5 US. There wasn’t one clear, authoritative answer staring me in the face immediately. You know how the internet can be – lots of repeated info, not always checked.
I decided to dig a little deeper. I started looking for maybe interviews where he mentioned it, or official player profiles from back in the day, maybe even details from shoe companies if he had any deals. I spent a bit of time clicking through various sports forums, fan sites, and stat pages.
- Checked some basketball reference sites.
- Looked through old news articles mentioning him.
- Scanned some forum discussions dedicated to NBA trivia.
It took a bit of sifting. Lots of people guessing or just repeating what they saw elsewhere. But eventually, I started seeing one number appear more consistently from sources that seemed a bit more trustworthy – sites focused on sports stats, or articles that seemed well-researched.
Pinning Down the Number
After looking through a bunch of results and trying to weigh the sources, the number that kept coming up most reliably was size 9.5 US. It appeared in several different places that seemed more credible than just random comments sections.
So, that’s what I landed on. Size 9.5 US. Seems about right, proportionally, maybe? It’s not super tiny, but definitely on the smaller side for an NBA player, obviously.
Anyway, that was my little quest for the day. Just a random bit of curiosity about a player I always admired. Took a few minutes of digging, but I feel pretty confident the 9.5 US is the commonly accepted size. Just another interesting tidbit about the one and only Muggsy Bogues.
