Antawn Jamison says guys respect Earl Boykins’ shot. I’m just not sure I buy it.
Take, for example, the game-clinching sequence in last night’s 104-102 Wizards win over Milwaukee. Boykins and Brendan Haywood played pick and roll against 7-footer Andrew Bogut and rookie Brandon Jennings — who, by the way, is listed at 169 pounds. He’s the size of soccer player, not a point guard, but I digress. First, Boykins uses the pick, then weaves his way into the lane, steps back at the elbow, and with Bogut closing out – but, apparently, not enough – Boykins lifts a jumper high over him to pull Washington to within one, 99-98.
