PITTSBURGH — Norm Nixon hasn't lost any of the fire or swag that helped the Duquesne University basketball legend win two championships with the Showtime Lakers of the 1980s. For proof, just ask his son, DeVaughn.
"We'll be watching basketball games and he'll be like, 'DeVaughn, you know I was a beast on that court,'" Nixon, 38, told the Post-Gazette. "'When I go back to Pittsburgh and Macon, [Georgia] they know your dad.'
"I'm like, 'All right man, I get it, you played for the NBA and you're better than me. That's why I act.'"
