Byron Larkin Biography

Byron Larkin is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on December 12, 1965 in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Byron K. Larkin, born December 12, 1965, is an American retired basketball player. He had played six seasons abroad as a professional basketball player. However, he is most well-known for his collegiate career at Xavier University (1984-85) and 1987-88. Larkin is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio. He was a star at Moeller High School in basketball and football. Larkin, a football All- American, chose to play basketball at college for the Xavier Musketeers in his hometown.

Larkin is the color commentator on the radio broadcasts of the Xavier men’s basketball team. He works as a financial advisor by day. This job he has done since 1992.

He scored 13 points in just 19 minutes from the bench, his sophomore collegiate game. This led to his team’s three-point victory over Pittsburgh. His seventh game saw Bob Staak, his head coach, start to use him as a starter. This was the first of a school record of 115 consecutive starts. Xavier won four NCAA Tournament wins in 1988, two MCC regular season titles and three Midwestern Collegiate Conference Tournament Championships. Three times the Tournament MVP has been awarded to no other player in the history of the MCC (now the Horizon League).

Larkin was the first alternate for both the guard and the position of guard for Team USA’s 1986-87 junior season. He competed in the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Larkin was the most decorated player at Xavier University in 1988. His 2,696 points, which are still the school record, rank among the all-time NCAA Division I career scoring leader. He was named twice the MCC Player-of-the- Year, as a sophomore and as a senior, in 1986 and 1988. He also was the first Xavier player named to a postseason All-America squad. Larkin was also a three-time First Team All-Conference performer, and led the Musketeers’ scoring each year. He was featured in several national media outlets, including Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News. Later, he became the first school-recorded player to have his number 23 (the number of his jersey) officially retired. Later, Larkin was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame at Xavier University.

Despite a lauded career at Xavier University, Larkin was never drafted by any National Basketball Association (NBA) team. He worked out for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks and New Jersey Nets, but due to his size and inability to adapt to the NBA 3 point line — 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) — teams did not show enough interest and he was passed up. After a brief stint with the Cedar Rapids Silver Bullets in the Continental Basketball Association, Larkin spent the next five years playing professionally in Venezuela for Guaiqueríes de Nueva Esparta, where in two of them he led his league in scoring. He then split his sixth and final professional season between teams in Germany and Hong Kong. Discussing his expatriate basketball experience, Larkin said, “I loved playing abroad. I would have preferred to play in the NBA, obviously, but I guess the knock on me was I was a little small for my position as a 6-foot-3 two guard. I was told I needed to change and play point guard to make it in the league, and I’m not a point. I’m a two guard. I was OK being a point guard, but I really stood out being a two guard…I didn’t put my best foot forward trying to make it in the NBA. But playing overseas, I led Venezuela in scoring two of the five years I was there and won a lot of games. Even the owner of my team came back for my wedding (in Cincinnati) and wanted me to be a naturalized citizen, but five years was enough for me.”
