I think if Jordan was 5 ft 5 he would still get his 30ppg

he was the best. but i think it would be around 18 to 22 not 30.

you gotta remember jordan scored a lot on his dunks and getting above the rim

but jordan was a legend, the best to play the game so you cant count that.

do you think that shaq would of even gone to collage if he was 5ft5. i dont think so.

boykins has got an amazing shot. like 90 sumpthin percent on free throws, thats good!

actualy he is the second best freethrow shooter in the nba at 92 percent behind reggie miller who has 93 percent.

Yep he is good.. Love all the short players cos they must have amazing skills to make it to the NBA. Muggsy Bogues for example, the guy couldn't shoot but he was an awesome passer and he was only 5 foot 3.

Spud Webb was only 5"8' and WON the dunk comp (late eighties some time). He is an NBA legend!

Most points in overtime ? 15 really .. i thought Reggie Miller might have that one ! although a lot of his 4th qtrs would account for that !!

I agree that Earl Boykins is an awesom player. The guy is a tank and even with his height no one can post him up. He is a role model for the short ballers around the world and shows how anyone can make it if they work hard enough and dont let people hold them back.

First of I think that Earl Boykin's is a great player but how can you compare him to Michael Jordan or Magic. I no that if they were Earls size it may have been a different story but you can't say, if because it didn't happen. Anyway my pick for the best small player ever would have to be Spud Webb not only did he have a cool name but that guy was one of the best players going around at that time.

i cant beleive Boykins was used in the same text as jordan. yea boykins is pretty good but against jordan cumon!

i think that if boykins was spuds height he could jam too, cus he can get rim now.

and bootleg is rite you cant say if jordan was his height he would be just as good. (i dont know if jordan would of even made it to the nba if he was 5ft50)

Boykins is an animal. That man got some pretty mad game. On his night he can light it up pretty well!!!

if they let him play more or started him he would score way more. when he started in collage his average was 26 points per game

(he can bench 315 pounds. i think that is more than shaq but i dont know)

if you want a boykins jersey go to www.finishline.com then clik on fan shop, go to denver and there it is. (they have it in white or blue) if the sizes dont fit you try kids sizes.

P.S is isnt a crapy one either it is a stitched swingman.

I hate the price of NBA jerseys, it makes me cry

"do you think that shaq would of even gone to collage if he was 5ft5"

your saying that thinking shaq qould still be a center.

all the great players make great players of themelves with whatver natural advantages are given to them.

if shaq was 5ft5 then he would work hard and be one of the best pgs in the league. All the great ones have the same mindset of competitivness and hard work.

i bet shaq works on his shot more than a lot of centers because he doesn't have good hand eye coaridination*, and he said that himself. your size can effect your shot but i dont think shaq yuld of had much better of a shot.

Little Boykins currently has 30 points against the Spurs in game 4!

spud webb was the laughing stock of the dunk comp back when he was against dominque and some other randoms.he won it cause his heart is bigger than jordans head.

Earl Boykins recorded a career high 32 points in game four against the Spurs in a loss. Other than Ginobli he is one of the best sixth men in the league.

i think earl boykins and muggsy bogues are the best players in the nba beacause they have a big heart and they can relate to me beacause i am short and we are on the basketball team

I love to watch people like Earl Boykins and Mugsy Bogues play and use their quickness to their advantages and play with their heart and always have fun doing something they love like basketball and don't care what size they are.

im 14 and im 4feet and 11 inches, and average 26 ppg, and 8 assists.Thats the shortest by 6 inches in my league. I wouldnt have even thought about playin ball until i saw boykins playin in the nba.i just wanna meet him some day to show him i got sum skills to.

earl is a big inspiration to all small bballers

Earl Boykins in my opinion could be MVP if he just scored more consistantly... he is more shadowed bye Andre Miller who isn't a better pg the Earl Boykins he averages a lil less then Andre does but but how many inches does Andre Miller have over Earl Boykins

Check Andre's past performances, i believe he led the league in assists 2 seasons ago. (Correct me if im wrong)

earl boykins averages more blocks per game than andre miller :|

Earl boykins is amazing.If sold by the pound he would be the best ever. You measure the greatness of a player by his contribution to his team Basketball is a team game and greatness can only be measured by his effect on his teams success.Boykins is a great team player,Jordan was one of the best, no matter who you put around him he made them successful. But the epidomy of team play and in my opinion the most valuble player of all times is Bill Russell.

Nah allan.......It has to be the Big O....Oscar Robertson

In his second season in the League he Avg'd a Triple Double for the ENTIRE Season

30.8ppg
12.5 Reb
11.4 Assists

Not even Players like Magic or Bird could even match him in that regards

Considering Earl Boykins is 5'5' the size of a halfback in the NRL competition ... and two foot smaller than Yao Ming ... he is to be commended for his efforts ... a player should never be measure by his size but what he brings to the team as a team player. Earl Boykins for his size obviously does so.

I saw Earl Boykins play against the kings a few months ago in Denver and he was definatley my favourite he was carving it up. Go the small players!!!

"its not how big u are ... its how big you play" earl boykins really brings that quote to life.. he's my role model I"m 14 and i'm only 4'10' awesome

Dear Earl Boykins

I am a student in a sport class what am I doing for the term in my school is learning about sports.

1.Now you have retired what do you do?

2.How long have you been playing basketball before you retired?


3.How much days in a week did you use to train when you played basketball?

4.what was it like when you play basketball?

5.What to you do after the basketball game?

Earl Boykins hasn't retired! In fact, he had 28 points and 7 assists just last week!

As far as guys below 5'10" go, I think Boykins comes second only to Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues in the history of the NBA. Anthony "Spud" Webb would be third in my opinion. Another that is forgotten (because he only played 3 NBA seasons) is Keith Jennings. He went 5'7", 160lbs.

If you go between 5'10" and 6'0", then you have to start including guys like Michael Adams, Damon Stoudamire, Travis Best, Terrell Brandon, Avery Johnson and Brevin Knight in the argument.

Larry Brown was a pretty good player back in the old ABA as well. He went 5'9", 160lb.

for me its mugsy, spud and Boykins

But Boykins has the ability, and now packing a punch with the Iverson trade

He has had 20+ in the last 2 games off the bench

Anyone know where i can get a eastern mich jersey for boykins?

I don't care what you say about my boy Earl. Comparing him to Michael Jordan and crap. So what he's 5'5 and barely 160 lbs, I'm just barely 5'0 and I'm a great PG

I don't care what pepole think about
the best and smallest #11 PG earl boykin's. He is my boy, and who cares if he went to miwaulke he is good anyware.

where is earl now? I don't see him on any rosters. I just wanna know where he went from last year

New York Knicks.

He's back - Bobcats have signed Boykins for the remainder of the season.
