He's 5-foot-5 of pure electricity, energy and enthusiasm and he now plays in Italy.
The 32-year old, Earl Boykins - the second shortest player in NBA history, signed a one-year contract with La Fortezza Bologna for $3.5 million to become the highest-paid player in Italy this year.
Not bad for the 9-year NBA vet, who only averaged 5.1 points a game last year with Charlotte after averaging over 12 ppg the previous four years.
He's doing much better this year after three games with Bologna - a non-Euroleague team - which is 3rd-place in the high-caliber Serie A Italian league.
His averages: 15.3 ppg, 5 apg, 3.3 rpg, and shooting more than 51% from the field.
