The Strategist
The long view, patient, analytical, playing several moves ahead.
Muggsy Bogues reads as The Strategist because he treated his 5'3" frame as a design problem to be solved, not a fate to be endured. He studied opponents' tendencies, converted his size into a 94-foot defensive blueprint, and made perceived weakness a structural advantage.
“You have to do that. You really do. I mean, because again, that's what you signed up for. And nothing should deteriorate you or take you away from that partnership that you signed up for. And that's how we start to lose one another because the communications start to lack and respect and all of a sudden start to flag.”
“Going through that dramatic experience and getting shot at age of five years old, you know, that does something to your mind so that it was able to change my mindset to where it allowed me to focus more on my craft and not worry about the words that people with the negative things that she was saying about me, about yourself.”
“That's the confidence they have within themselves because no one, everybody don't believe in what you believe in. To stay on that course and stay on that way of changing folks' trajectory, people's mindset in terms of what you're capable of doing.”
“I just want to say, I really appreciate you, Greg, allowing me to come on the show and I wish you success. And I hope the listeners got a kick out of what we talked about and I hope they go out and support my book. You know, it's a great read. I mean, I've lived a little. I impacted some lives out there. I think it's a heartfelt book.”
