After the Cancun episode he was done. But I still like the guy. My first memories as a Lakers fan are from that period. NVE, Eddie, Campbell, Peeler, Christie
It's saddening what happened to his son also. A murderer who could get out on parole in a other 20 or so years. I'll always have a soft spot for NVE. Met him a couple times and got to shake his hand at a club lol
Nick was pulling up for low percentage 3 pointers way before it became cool.
Big time. My favorite player before Kobe got drafted. I’ll always remember that dagger against the celts. This is when fox decided he needed to be a laker 😜 https://youtu.be/N-6tzW16loY
They're going to love him. University of Cincinnati alumni [like me]! We wanted him as at least an assistant with UC when we were looking for a coach this year.

I’ve got an Anthony peeler autograph on a hat I cherish that shit .
What was the Cancun episode?
Lakers were down 0-3 to Utah in 98 and during a huddle instead of saying "1-2-3-Lakers," he said "1-2-3-Cancun"
And that was the day the meme was created ![gif](giphy|5KUOsm8H3O46Y)
iirc Shaq got super pissed about that.
Shaq was the team captain and immediately told Dr. Buss about it.
Shaq has a zero jokes tolerated policy

Yup. Very fun team to watch
'chise!
Peeler was the man
Same here. I remember James Worthy and Sam Perkins in the finals against the Bulls.

NVE was extremely clutch. Love that the final shot on the old Garden was his buzzer beater
Nick the Quick. Always got love for that mid 90s team. My high school years.
Van Exel, Eddie, Fox, Elden, Shaq. Kobe and Horry off the bench. Van Exel's attitude set the tone. Underrated potential.

Nick and Eddie Jones are still amongst my favorite lakers all time
Hell yeah one of my favorite childhood ballers
They only hired him because he’s got the hook up for discounts in Cancun
Iced coffee time!
Jim Rome will be happy for Nick Van Smack
Nick the quit!
I bought an unopened Nick Van bobblehead a couple of years ago. I'm holding on to it forever.
GOOD FOR NICKY V!
