The president lost his patience with Boykins
Claudio Sabatini, president of Virtus Bologna, after Game 4 of Italian playoffs got rid of former NBA Earl Boykins, as confirmed by Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I am pissed off with Earl. It is his fault if we have to play three games away in the series. He committed the foul against Bulleri during a three point shot in the regular season. Without that foul Virtus now would have played three games in Bologna. Moreover Earl's performances in Treviso damaged us. Virtus played better with him on the bench" said Sabatini who added that coach Boniciolli could leave him out. "Koponen can play more. He is our future (he has a four year deal with Bologna). With Earl I lost my patience".
Boykins is the most paid player in Serie A.
Here is Boykins' stats so far in Italian playoffs.
27.0 FG%
35.3 3 PT FG%
9.8 points
2.8 rebounds
5.8 assists
Stats don't seem that bad. If the President got pissed off and dumped him because of a couple of mistakes, that's completely ignorant.
I'm sure he'd dump the rest of his team, too, but for the inconveniencing fact that nobody has ever heard of any of them and consequently the announcement would carry no impact.
I always found it very funny to see him next to big tall nba players.

LOL @ Tim boxing out Earl Boykins.
They do have a pretty decent all-time roster, though.
Michael Ray Richardson
Bill Wennington
Rasho Nesterovic
John Amaechi
Manu Ginobili
Marko Jaric
Charlie Bell
That All-Star team would get you 30, 35 wins easy in the NBA.
There are several NBA players and draft picks on their team. Once again you fail at any basketball discussion.
2008-09 Roster
Earl Boykins - Wasn't big enough in the NBA
Petteri Koponen - Couldn't hack it in the NBA
Brett Blizzard - Who the is Brett Blizzard? USBL? LOL..nice one
Sharrod Ford - D-League reject
Jamie Arnold - No NBA experience
Alex Righetti - who?
Keith Langford - D-League
Guilherme Giovannoni - who?
Roberto Chiacig - who?
Riccardo Malagoni - See the guy above
Dušan Vukčević - once again..who?
So...just because someone was drafted by some team in some year, which only a couple of these guys actually were, that doesn't mean we're going to know who the they are. But besides Boykins, NONE of them would have a PRAYER on an NBA team. And Boykins averages more points than Papaloukas does in Greece going by your stats, and they're both Euroleague, so I wouldn't exactly say he didn't make it in Italy.
And you cannot even get the roster right.
Reyshawn Terry = NBA draft pick
Peterri Koponen = NBA draft pick
Langford played in NBA
Boykins played in NBA
Once again pulling out of your ass....they have ZERO DRAFT PICKS AND ZERO NBA PLAYERS ON THEIR TEAM....STOP LYING
Reyshawn Terry = NBA draft pick
Peterri Koponen = NBA draft pick
Langford played in NBA
Boykins played in NBA
Your lies are pathetic.
Langford played 2 games...tallied a total of 2 points and 2 rebounds.
Reyshawn Terry never played in a game...
Koponen didn't make it... (and it's Petteri, not Peterri)
I already said Boykins might have a chance to make it...but he scored more points than Papaloukas, so I think it's the Italians who are ignorant.
Apparently this Petteri Koponen played for some team called the Honka Playboys.
I'd say that'd have to be the highlight of his career thus far.
NBA DRAFT PICKS and NBA PLAYERS on their roster you idiot. Your LIED it was proven. Get over it.
HAHAHAHA WOW
KBP - I was a 2nd round draft pick in 1998. I played in 14 summer league games, 2 regular season games (0/2 fg 1/2 ft's 3 reb 1 assist and 1 steal) .....
Does this ign make me an NBA player dip ? Wake the up man....
I never said there wasn't, jackass...as a matter of fact, I said there WAS NBA draft picks on the team....I just said that just because someone is drafted it doesn't mean we know who they are. When Bob Lanier said we wouldn't know the team, you said that there were NBA draft picks on the team. That doesn't mean we know who the they are.
It is very funny since you always claim to know more about NBA than me. Guess you are proven wrong once again.
God you are such an idiot..lol...where did I say they didn't have NBA picks on the team again? lol..
I've said it before and I'll say it again...I have more NBA knowledge in my right pinky toenail than you have in your entire body..lol..
It's a lot of fun though..lol
Oh..and KBP..the Italian owner is a complete and total idiot for dropping his team's highest scorer...bad play in the playoffs? Damn...if Lebron or Kobe had bad playoff games, would they be dropped? That's ignorant. I know you like posting things concerning NBA players doing horribly in Euroleague, but he was the 10th highest scorer in the entire league, and the team's highest. He was the team's best player..only one close to him was Langford, who was one of the Spurs worst players ever.
He plays for Aris BC !
