Episode 269: “Cancun On Three” - Nick Van Exel

Episode 269 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we’re back on the hardwood discussing Nick Van Exel.

After a tumultuous childhood & difficult stint in Junior College, Van Exel would then lead Cincinnati to a Final Four in 1992 and appeared to be a lottery pick headed into the 1993 NBA Draft. However, poor interviews and workouts sent his stock into the second round.

Van Exel though was of the first post-“Showtime” era stars for the Lakers’ during the 1990s. A slick, left-handed point guard who could shoot and distribute, Van Exel was an All-Star by his final season in Los Angeles.

Issues with the team’s new stars as well as the coaching staff led to his exit before the Lakers’ dynasty of the 2000s. Nevertheless, Van Exel was a scoring machine with Denver & valuable bench player towards the end of his career.
