Lance Stephenson

[Nomadic1]

Feel free to move this thread if you don't think it belongs here, but he's having a pretty good season, averaging 14.3 pts per game. Last night, he had his first triple double. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400488972

Lance has found his place in the NBA. Kudos to Larry bird for sticking with him. Gotta give Lance credit to for listening. The Pacers have formed a solid team and are actually fun to watch.

i do not follow the NBA, but i find myself checking the boxscores for Lance, J Max, and Kenyon stats and notes...i am glad Lance has grown up and gotten the chance to play...

Too bad he didn't redshirt; he could be a senior right now (kidding)

This post really opened my eyes. it is not only eye opening rather very beneficial for the people those who want to do something good in his life.

Lance has another triple double tonight. 10 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists...

I picked him up in my fantasy league before the season started and he has been a very nice addition, especially considering he went undrafted in our league. In the real basketball world (as if that matters) it's good to see him succeeding. I will be attending my first NBA game in January to watch the Pacers play the Clippers. I will definitely be rooting him on.

He has improved so much. He has played himself into a nice contract after this year. Hopefully, his basketball father Larry Bird can keep him with the Pacers.

Mick took him from a raw high school player to an NBA superstar in only 1 year!

Good grief.

Stephenson has 3 triple doubles. Nobody in the NBA has more than 1. LeBron has 0.

Pretty cool.

so the fact that he is the NYC high School leading point scorer of all time means he was raw?

Ralphy was kidding I'm sure....Stephenson was the #1 recruit at the small forward position for 2009. All-American starter.

Lance Stephenson would be out of the NBA right now if it weren't for Larry Bird. Talk about a guy drafted to the correct situation...

Another reason why Mick will be the greatest coach in Bearcat history & one of the greatest in NCAA history

Lance had 26 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in his return to Brooklyn. Man he is just ballin outta control this year.

Went up to Indy last night to watch the Pacers-Clippers game. Obviously I was excited to see Lance play. He played very well, too. 22 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. What I liked most was seeing Stephenson(and Born Ready) jerseys and T-shirts and signs everywhere. Even picked up a player T myself before the game to rock to show my Bearcat love. He played with great energy and the crowd responded to that. He seems to be one of the fan favorites up there. The best part of the night was seeing David West get ejected. I still to this day can't stand him and I booed him when they announced his name in the starting line-up and I cheered when he got ejected. Was disappointed that Chris Paul was hurt and that Blake Griffin didn't have any monster dunks (especially since West was guarding him most of the first half, I would've loved to have seen him get dunked on). It was my first NBA game I've ever been too, surprisingly. Overall it was a good, fun atmosphere. I definitely plan on going up there again. Just thought I'd share my experience.

Indiana fans know and love their basketball. I am very happy that Lance was drafted into a great situation with Larry Legend and the Pacers. I feel like if he went one pick earlier to the Knicks, he would be out of the league. Now he is playing like an All-Star. Simply amazing.

I currently lived in Indy, and I have been watching a lot of the Pacers this year. You are right David; Pacer fans absolutely love Lance Stephenson. He brings so much energy and has really evolved as a player. Pacer fans are scared they will not be able to afford him as this is a contract year. I really hope they can keep him.
