I never viewed Lanier as being bigger, except in the foot department. He was
taller than say Unseld, but everyone was. I thought he had a long wing span
and a jump shot that could not be contained on a good night. He was mobile
till knee injuries reduced him to one good leg. Plus didn't he have that fade
away too? I may be thinking of McAdoo on the fade away though.
