I'm The Double Greatest
I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew
I was. Don't tell me I can't do something. Don't
tell me it's impossible. Don't tell me I'm not the
greatest. I'm the double greatest.
- Muhammad Ali
Did you know a person has a better chance of
winning the lottery than making it to the NBA?
Each year the NBA holds its draft. There are
two rounds, and unless a team has traded
away one of its draft choices, each team gets
two draft picks. With 30 teams in the NBA,
only 60 players get drafted in a given year.
The 1987 NBA Draft included such stars as:
David Robinson, Scottie Pippen, Horace
Grant, Reggie Miller, and Tyrone 'Mugsy'
Bogues.
'Mugsy' Bogues believed in himself and his
abilities. His dream was to play in the NBA.
But the odds of playing in the NBA were
astronomical for someone with his size. At
5 ft 3 in, Bogues stood a full 16 inches
shorter than the average player in the
league.
You can imagine how no one took his dream
seriously except Tyrone Bogues himself.
Here is what he had to say about playing in
the NBA:
'You've always got to stay true to beliefs.
I never accepted it when someone said I
couldn't do something. They don't know my
capabilities and potential. I let the criticism
go in one ear and out the other.
I just had to show it's possible a kid my size
can compete and be as successful as the
others on the floor. I didn't see myself failing.
I studied the game and became knowledgeable
of how to get across what I can do to others.
Hard work, the idea of always believing and
the willingness to survive has been a big part
of my having a 13-year career.'
In 2000 he had a 5 to 1 assist/turnover ratio,
first in the NBA. He also ranks as the Hornets'
all-time leader in assists & steals and 3rd in
points. And in 1990 he was named Hornets
Player of the Year.
