WHY WE HATE HIM
Born Ready to annoy you. Lance made his name getting under LeBron's skin with antics like blowing in his ear during the playoffs. His over-the-top trash talk and theatrics made him a villain everywhere except Indiana.
VILLAIN RESUME
10-year career of maximum chaos and minimum championships. Blowing in LeBron's ear became an instant meme. Talented playmaker (8.6 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 3.2 APG) whose antics prevented him from finding a permanent home. Multiple teams gave up on his energy vs. immaturity equation.
GREATEST VILLAIN MOMENT
"Blowing in LeBron James' ear during a 2014 playoff game became an instant meme and perfectly captured Lance's ability to irritate even the greatest players."
THE DEFENSE
High-energy player who brought passion every night. Pacers fans loved him. His antics were psychological warfare that sometimes worked. Just needed the right system and coaching.
