Norm Nixon is one of the more forgotten Los Angeles Lakers of the 1980s. The drafting of Magic Johnson moved him off his normal point guard position, and Nixon was ultimately traded before the 1984 season for the draft rights to Byron Scott, as a way to free up Magic.
Many are though of before Nixon, but on Nov. 30, 1982, he was the center of attention in a ridiculous game. The Lakers were in San Antonio to play the Spurs.
With just three seconds left and the Lakers down two points, Nixon was at the free throw line with one shot to come.
