Player Review: Lance Stephenson lit a fire under the Pacers

As trite as the word “swagger” has become, arguably no other term can better encapsulate what it was that Lance Stephenson brought to the Indiana Pacers.

“Lance is a little crazy,” Kevin Pritchard admitted on 1070 The Fan’s The Dan Dakich Show. “But, he brings a unique energy to our team, and he brought everybody up. He walked in the building and Paul (George) had a little bit more swagger. Jeff Teague had much more swagger when we had Lance.”

Still, as much as the Lance-effect on the Pacers was real, the Pacers-effect on Lance was real as well.
