Muggsy Bogues: Hornets' Original Number One

About this episode

Muggsy Bogues, the legendary five-foot-three point guard, was the first to don the number one jersey for the Charlotte Hornets in 1988 — and he made it iconic. Playing ten seasons with consistent All-Star-level stats (9 PPG, 9 APG), he proved heart and skill trump height. After stints with Golden State and Toronto, he retired post-2001 but remains a beloved local figure, still showing up for community events. This episode dives into his Hornets legacy as part of a series chronicling every number’s history — a tribute to the players who shaped the franchise.
