nicca put up endless points in Live 95

Him and eddie jones were two of my favorite players growing up they are what made me a lakers fan lol

Nick the Quick one of my Lakers of all time. As matter of fact that roster 94 -96 they had with Ceballos, Eddie Jones, Divac, Elden Cambell, George lynch ,Sedale and Pig miller are my favorite Laker Squads for nostalgic reasons and one of the more underrated fun and exciting teams in the 90's. I Remember being so mad broke up 4 some of Jones, van exel,Kobe and Shaq by getting rid jones and Nick after all four made the All star team in 98.

Gospel, mayne. That was da squad, them and AD, Doug Christhe, Antonio Harvey, and the last bit of Sam Bowie's knees.

Patterned my game around Nick the Quick when i was in HS and he was at Cincinnati. Him and Damon Stoudamire.

To me, Nick was the best non-superstar/star of his era, and my favorite non-knick of all time. Handles, Aquafina J, more dimes than that sprint lady. On offense, he had it all. If this nicca had grown up in new york, you'd have them old timer, hardscrabble brothas talkin about him like hes an ex-lover, with them gravelly voices, and illustrative adjectives. Godly crossover.

Nick was one of those niccas I would pay to watch play ball. I used to try to bite his game and swag hecka tough to a b-ball king, whose game was the definition of what it means to be a baller...1:04!:

Still my favorite Laker of all time. He still made the Lakers entertaining during the rebuilding years before shaq and kobe. My favorite point guard

Two guys - Nick Van Exel and Baron Davis - if they were born even just a decade and maybe six years later respectively, would've been statistical MONSTERS in this era.

I've always said that B Diddy was the most gifted PG EVER. If only he could stay healthy...

I had a Van Exel jersey but cant remember which team

Think it was Dallas tho

Used to kill me and my homeboys with that freethrows from beyond the line shyt

 

[TrebleMan]

One of the shiftiest and most unpredictable players the NBA has ever seen. What's crazy is that he never really did have a signature move, just shook everybody spur of the moment and had a great feel for hesitations.

If Shaq was really responsible for getting him traded, that's lame. I always thought that was a Phil Jackson call.
