The Pacers had a great matched set of big guys that switched between starting and the bench in Antonio and Dale Davis. They lost something and have never gotten it back after those two guys were traded.
Dale Davis also looked like he should have been a member of the X-Men.

fat lever was unreal for a few years there - per game averages from 87-90 - 19 pts, 9 boards, 7.5 dimes, 2.5 steals. and the dude was 6'3"!!

Lever is one of only three players in NBA history to record 15 plus points, rebounds, and assists in a single playoff game (the others being Jason Kidd and Wilt Chamberlain).
