While he may not top the list, standing at five feet three, Muggsy Bogues is definitely pound-for-pound the best Charlotte Hornet of all time. Bogues spent 10 years in Charlotte, where the pint-sized Point Guard continued to defy logic and became a fan favorite not only in Charlotte but across the entire NBA.

Muggsy was not a gimmick, but a good player who would twice finish with a 10 Assist per Game Average and three times finished with double digits in Points. Bogues was also quite the thief, averaging 2 Steals per Game three times in a season.

Pound for pound, he was also the most entertaining Hornet ever. We will, and for that matter, let’s say in Basketball history!
