The ball fake move commonly credited to Rajan Rondo was in fact pioneered by Pistol Pete Maravich.

2. DIMINUTIVE LEGENDS
Tyrone “Muggsy” Bogues stood all of 5’3″ but nonetheless was a star point guard for famed Dunbar High School in Baltimore, where his tenacity led the team to a #1 U.S. ranking in 1983.

Muggsy had a successful career at Wake Forest and in the NBA. He remains an inspiration for vertically challenged basketball players everywhere.
