You probably aren’t even reading this summary because you are THAT excited to start listening to this episode and we don’t blame you one bit. Earl Boykins was a fan favorite everywhere that he played. You may remember him as the second shortest player in NBA history and the shortest player to ever hang 30 in a game. We just remember him as a damn good basketball player who never quite got the credit he deserved.

At 5’5’’ and 135 lbs, Boykins left gyms in awe his entire career. You probably didn’t know he was the 2nd leading scorer in the nation his senior year at Eastern Michigan, or the schools all-time leader in assists. You would think this would be an easy road to destiny, but you are mistaken. Earl was always under the radar, and he would make a 13-year NBA career of proving everyone wrong. He also showed the world no matter how small you might think he is, he would always have big contributions to his team.

We loved hanging out with Earl and learning about his incredible basketball journey. We also love that he is still involved with the game, as he is currently the Basketball Director of Student-Athlete Development at University of Arkansas, alongside ex-Nevada coach and fan favorite Eric Musselman. If there is one thing that we have learned about Boykins in this episode, its that he is STILL giving big contributions to his team. Just this time it’s on the sidelines…and we should all know by know to not underestimate his abilities. 

Enjoy!

Thank you Coach Boykins!
