Norm Nixon Biography

Norman Ellard Nixon, known as "Stormin' Norman," is a former professional basketball player recognized for his contributions as a point guard in the National Basketball Association. Selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA Draft as the 22nd overall pick, Nixon established himself as a dynamic floor general. In his rookie season, Nixon averaged 13.7 points and 6.8 assists per game. During the 1978–79 season, he led the NBA in steals, and the following season he played the most minutes in the league. His court vision and leadership were integral to the Lakers' success during a celebrated era in basketball history.

Nixon won two NBA championships with the Lakers at the start of the Showtime era. He contributed to the Lakers' NBA title against the Philadelphia 76ers and was a leading scorer during the team's second championship run in the playoffs, averaging 20.4 points per game. Nixon's performance at point guard led to Magic Johnson being moved to shooting guard for a period. Over six seasons with the Lakers, Nixon averaged 16.4 points, 7.9 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.

Nixon was traded to the Clippers in exchange for the draft rights to Byron Scott. In his first season with the Clippers, Nixon led the NBA in total assists and earned his second All-Star appearance. Nixon missed two seasons due to a torn ACL, an injury that impacted his career trajectory. He concluded his NBA career with a brief stint with Scavolini Pesaro in Italy. Over his entire career, Nixon averaged 15.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 768 regular-season games. He was inducted into the California Sports Hall of Fame, and Duquesne University retired his jersey number 10.

As vice president of the NBA Players Association, Nixon developed expertise in collective bargaining. After retiring from basketball, Nixon founded Nixon and Associates and became a sports and entertainment agent, negotiating over $200 million in contracts for clients such as TLC, LL Cool J, and Jalen Rose. Nixon has also worked as a radio commentator for the Clippers and a studio analyst for KABC-TV and Fox Sports West, providing analysis for Lakers games. He has overseen nearly $10 million in grants as co-founder and executive director of the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, where he has produced more than 12 musicals. Nixon's legacy was highlighted in popular culture when his son, DeVaughn Nixon, portrayed him in the HBO series "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty," introducing his role in basketball history to new audiences.
