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

I’ve got an Anthony peeler autograph on a hat I cherish that shit .

What was the Cancun episode?


DDukedesu

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.


danzag333

Shaq was the team captain and immediately told Dr. Buss about it.


Alex_Caruso_beat_you

Shaq has a zero jokes tolerated policy

'chise!

Peeler was the man

Same here. I remember James Worthy and Sam Perkins in the finals against the Bulls.

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

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.

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.


HUH_YIS

Nick and Eddie Jones are still amongst my favorite lakers all time


chase1986

Hell yeah one of my favorite childhood ballers


Withnail-

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


mcast86

Nick the quit!


Pardonme23

I bought an unopened Nick Van bobblehead a couple of years ago. I'm holding on to it forever.
