The Charlotte Hornets are preparing to honor one of the most beloved players in franchise history.
The Hornets will retire Muggsy Bogues’ No. 1 jersey on February 11, recognizing the former point guard’s lasting impact on the organization.
Standing at just 5-foot-3, Bogues remains the shortest player in NBA history. Despite his size, he built a 14-season NBA career defined by his playmaking, defensive ability and leadership.
Bogues spent 10 seasons with Charlotte from 1988 to 1998, becoming a central figure during the franchise’s early years. He remains the Hornets’ all-time franchise leader in assists, steals and minutes played.
His jersey retirement will cement his place among the most significant figures in Hornets history and celebrate a career that helped establish the team’s identity.
Bogues played for four NBA franchises during his career, but his legacy remains closely tied to Charlotte, where he became a fan favorite and a symbol of perseverance.
