He actually wasn't too bad when he was on the Nuggets. He was only 6'3'' and averaged nearly 10 rebounds a game for a few seasons. Also put up a 15/15/15 in the post season (only other two to do it were Jason Kidd and Wilt "Every ***** I Banged Got Pregnant" Chamberlain.) Too bad those Denver teams never won shit because they play even less defense than Joe Johnson and Carmelo Anthony's offspring.

Every time I dig through my boxes of old basketball cards from the 80s, I always get nostalgic and depressed about all the "good, almost really good, but not great" players that were lost during the Coke Era of the NBA.

:smh:

For the bold I'm assuming you mean in one game.

Also for the second bolded..those Nuggets teams played a horrific brand of basketball that inflated a lot of numbers. It was like D'Antoni..on err..coke. I don't think it's any coincidence that when Lever wasn't with the Nuggets(even before his knee went) that he was fairly unremarkable.

I like Lever, dude just has inflated numbers from a wonky system.

I don't come to this site very much, but I was lurking around, saw this post, and just had to respond.

What makes this post so terrible, is the poster is completely serious. There is no troll here.

This is, without a doubt, the single worst post in the history of the internet.

If this person is mentally handicapped, I apologize.
