The Los Angeles Lakers of the mid-1990s can be a bit forgotten about at times especially as they came between the Showtime era of the 1980s and the Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant run in the 2000s. While the likes of Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel are remembered fondly, one name who rarely gets brought up is Cedric Ceballos.
Ceballos was the Lakers’ leading scorer in back-to-back seasons, being named an All-Star in 1995 and even posting a 50-point night. Many fans will also recall him winning the 1992 Slam Dunk Championship with the infamous blindfold dunk.
