Norm Nixon
He won 2 NBA Championships with the Lakers; During his NBA career he scored over 12,000 points
Nixon's time with the Lakers was marked by two NBA championships, which he won in 1980 and 1982. These victories came during the early years of the Lakers' "Showtime" era, a period defined by fast-paced, high-scoring basketball. Nixon's chemistry with teammates like Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was crucial to the team's success. His leadership on the court and his ability to control the tempo of the game made him one of the most respected point guards of his time. Nixon was also selected to the NBA All-Star Game twice, in 1982 and 1983, further solidifying his status as one of the league's elite players.
After his time with the Lakers, Nixon was traded to the San Diego Clippers in 1983, where he continued to perform at a high level. Although the Clippers were not as successful as the Lakers, Nixon remained a standout player, consistently ranking among the league leaders in assists. His career in the NBA spanned over a decade, and he finished with impressive career averages of 15.7 points and 8.3 assists per game. Nixon also had a brief stint playing overseas with Scavolini Pesaro in Italy, where he continued to showcase his skills on an international stage.
Beyond his playing career, Nixon has remained involved in basketball and entertainment. He has worked as a sports agent and has been active in various media and entertainment ventures, including producing and acting. His contributions to the game of basketball, both on and off the court, have left a lasting legacy. Nixon's combination of skill, leadership, and charisma has made him a beloved figure in the basketball community, and his influence continues to be felt today.
