2Pac was released from jail in 1995, at the time he was a well-known rapper, but not huge. Soon after getting out 2Pac signed with Suge Knight's Death Row Records and utilized one of the biggest stars on that label Dr. Dre to produce and feature in his comeback single "California Love", and 2Pac definitely came back after everyone heard the song. It was a Game Changer. It was the lead single off of Pac's masterpiece album "All Eyez on Me" which is an album loaded with huge hits and great non-radio singles, the 2-Disc set is brilliant and contains no filler material, the album is one of the greatest rappers ever at his peak.
Muggsy Bogues is the shortest player in NBA History standing at just 5 Foot 3 Inches, he overcame all the naysayers and fought the odds to be an NBA Player at all, but during his era he was one of the best Point Guards in the league. And yet, his height maybe overshadows just how good he really was, Muggsy's height is always the first thing brought up when people have a conversation about him, but he was an incredible true point guard, he was a brilliant play maker, handled the ball better than anyone, could get to the paint and score and had a solid jump shot. Bogues was also one of the toughest most tenacious defenders ever, his size gave him an advantage he was able to steal the ball easily as a result, and led the league in steals a couple of seasons. Bogues played on the 1986 USA National Team, he never made an NBA All-Star game or won a ton of awards, but he was a key part of the very good Charlotte Hornets teams of the 90's.
