Earl Antoine Boykins

Earl Antoine Boykins, is one of the most interesting basketball players I have ever researched about. He is also a very determined player. Plus he is also a very good leader. Earl is very skilled and has many talents.

Earl Antoine Boykins is an interesting male who was born in Cleveland, Ohio. One thing that I find interesting is that the standard NBA player is the height of 6,6" but Earl is 5'5" and weighs 132lb and this does not stop him from playing in the NBA. He also can dunk on a ten foot hoop so that means he can jump 4.6" in the air. Plus many teams have wanted him because he is such a good sport and a good leader. There really isn't a more interesting hero than him.

I think he is determined because when he joined the NBA he was told that he is short but that didn't stop him from playing what he loves to do. He also has faced many point guards like him, the only difference is that they had a height advantage. He didn't care he still played his hardest. Earl is 39 years old and can still run with the newest players.That is why Earl is so determined.

I think Earl is such a leader because he always has a big heart and he cheers teammates on, whether he is on or off the bench. Plus he has been team captain 8 out of the 12 teams he has played on. Last of all when he was at a press conference he was asked who the star of the team is, and he just smiled and said "everyone". This shows he isn't selfish or anything, he is just a team leader.

This is why i think Earl Antoine Boykins is interesting and a leader, and a determined player. That wraps up my essay on one of the greatest basketball players.
