Norm Nixon

Norm Nixon is one of those richly underrated figures from the Lakers' golden era. A 6-foot-2 point guard out of Macon, Georgia, with the wonderful nickname "Stormin' Norman," he was a two-time All-Star who too often gets lost in the glare of Magic and Kareem. Floor generals rarely get their due, since orchestrating a game is harder to box-score than scoring it, but I happen to believe the playmaker is the heartbeat of any team. I respect that he could be central to winning while staying understated. He is the kind of subtle, essential ingredient I love to champion.
