Fat Lever (31pts/16rebs/12asts/6stls) vs. Bulls (1988)

Another video that I absolutely had to re-do since the old one was kind of crappy. Ahh.. what can I say? Fat Lever is just all over the court of the Chicago Stadium. He had found a real good balance between being a gambler who over-plays passing lanes and a legit good defender as he both punishes lackadaisical passing by the Bulls with steals and does an admirable job guarding Jordan. Besides the 6 steals he had, Lever also is a part of being the first to loose balls that were initially stolen by team-mates, deflecting passes that he nearly keeps in play and putting pressure on opponents who in result lose the ball to another Denver Nugget. Fat's jumper from 16 is money and he seemingly was the first to every long rebound (I tried not to overfill the video with these). Lever truly did everything he could to keep up with Jordan and the Bulls and seemingly the most important possession of the game should have ended with him or Alex English forcing overtime but this time around he was "only" capable of grabbing two offensive rebounds in a row, while the Bulls basket was left untouched. January 7, 1988.
