Muggsy Bogues and the Stephen Curry family go back a long way. Muggsy, who is the shortest ever player to feature in the NBA, played alongside Stephen Curry’s father, Dell Curry, for nine seasons when the two teamed up for the Charlotte Hornets between 1988 and 1997. Stephen Curry, who is 1988 born, was just a child when he first met Muggsy.Speaking on the documentary feature, Muggsy: Always Believe, that premiered on Saturday night on NBA TV, Dell Curry revealed the reason his children, Seth and Stephen Curry, quickly found a connection with Muggsy. Dell said of the impact that the older Muggsy had on his kids:“Our locker room was right beside to each other and Muggsy being the shortest guy, they gravitated to him… Muggsy played a big part in their maturation of learning how to play basketball and Muggsy loved it.”NBA TV@NBATV"It just brings joy to my heart."@MuggsyBogues talks about spending time with @stephencurry30 and @sdotcurry when they were young, and seeing their journey to the NBA.09:55 AM · Nov 21, 202172078"It just brings joy to my heart."@MuggsyBogues talks about spending time with @stephencurry30 and @sdotcurry when they were young, and seeing their journey to the NBA. https://t.co/oKJs8AC8sgStephen Curry, who makes an appearance in the documentary, spoke of the bond he developed with Muggsy.
