In this photo are two of the best four guards on the planet, as of the first Sunday in February, 1988. The guy with the ball, well, that's You Know Who. The guy guarding him? Fat Lever. The only guy in the last 30 years (Magic and Bird included) who has a career high of at least 20 points, 20 boards, and 20 assists. One of three players (Wilt and Kidd being the others) in NBA history to have a 15/15/15 playoff game. The smallest player - at 6-3 - to ever lead his team in points, boards, and assists (for the '90 Nuggets). The guy who once hung a 31-16-12 line on Mike in Chicago, this during the '88 season, Jordan's first MVP year. A player who was unfortunately hurt in the '85 and '88 playoffs, on the two best teams he ever played on. You now know who Fat Lever is.
