Hey, Earl Boykins this is your hometown friend, just informing you that I do keep up with you.
P.S. from the other message, Hey, Earl I think your father was a little saltee when you and I play together, the way you set me up for my shot, at the house of pain, thurgood marshall recreation center.

I really found this feature on your website interesting. It was great to get to know about Earl. I was wondering if you could maybe do a "Get to Know Nazr Mohammed" feature. He is my favorite player in the NBA and I just want to learn more about him. I would be really thankful if you can make this possible.
