I'm not a Nuggets fan first of all, but I pretty admire this Earl Boykins, I myself am not very tall but still taller then him and I just can't believe how he does that 360 layup and how he gets on against those other giants of the NBA. What doyou guys think? Will he be something big sometime?

One of my favorite players hands down (not because he went to high school in Cleveland just a block away from me :mrgreen: )
I admire earl boykins alot for 2 reason's: 1) hes only 5"6 and look at how good hes doing in the nba despite the size difference between him and the other players 2) he has some of the smoothest pass's,crossover's and shots ive ever seen on tv.
He's actually 5'5". And yes, he's a great player right now. He brings a lot of energy off the bench and busts out for anywhere from 15 to 20 points a game on some great shooting, and he's a damn good FT shooter, too. He spreads the defense, and tends to embarass those who come over on help. Great passer, too... very reminiscent of Mugsy Bougues in his prime.
Some say he's 5'4. I really admire him too. Must have been really hard for him coming up through the ranks. Definately deserves the 6th man award if he keeps playing like he is now.
I have a great amount of respect for him. He's a great player who brings it every night. He does a little of everything for the Nuggets, which is great. He reminds me of TJ Ford. They are both short and are often overlooked. Because of that, they work twice as hard to get to the top.

He gets Redd open for shots. Ford is 5'11" and dunking, too, and extremely fast. People forget that he and his Texas team almost beat Carmelo and Syracuse in the Final Four.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting InNETSweTrust:</div><div class="quote_post">Boykins is pretty strong...he can benchpress 200+ pounds if im not mistaken...</div> Actually, its 300. It was on "The Best Damn Sports Show Period".
