The great Nick "The Quick" Van Exel was picked 37th by the Lakers in the 1993 NBA draft. He was a Jerry West special. He had alot of critics due to his "attitude problem", but I believe it was this "attitude problem" that gave him an edge against his "nice" opponents. He was lightning quick and was a top notch clutch player.He had several clutch game winning shots during his career with the Lakers but a couple come to mind whenever I think of Nick The Quick. One shot was the shot in Overtime against San Antonio in the 1995 Western Conference Semis. He made a 3-pointer with the time running out to win the game. The second shot was the last shot ever taken by a Laker in the Boston Garden. A shot in which he made a 3 pointer to win the game against Boston. Just a sick sick shot.. Soo sick that I believe you guys gotta, and I mean gotta see it. Here is the youtube video of it:
