- Lafayette "Fat" Lever is a retired American professional basketball player in the NBA. He is currently the director of player development for the Sacramento Kings. Lever was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers as the 11th pick in the 1982 NBA Draft out of Arizona State and was considered one of the NBA's best point guards in the late 1980s while playing for the Denver Nuggets. Despite his size (6 feet 3 inches) he regularly led the Nuggets in rebounding. In 1987-88, he produced a memorable performance against the Chicago Bulls, with 31 points, 20 assists, 16 rebounds and 6 steals. While not well-known by many current NBA fans, Lever is one of a handful of NBA players to nearly average a triple-double over the course of an entire season, with 19.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 7.9 assists in the 1988-89 season. Lever was traded by the Nuggets to the Dallas Mavericks in 1990 for the Mavs' #9 pick in the 1990 NBA Draft plus Dallas' first-round pick in the following one. The Nuggets subsequently traded the #9 pick and their own #15 pick to the Miami Heat for the Heat's #3 pick in the 1990 Draft, with Denver sending the Mavs' 1991 first rounder (which was originally the Detroit Pistons' pick they acquired in the Mark Aguirre/Adrian Dantley trade) to the Washington Bullets along with Michael Adams, for the Bullets' first round pick in the 1991 Draft. Lever did not play one second during the 1992-93 season due to injury, and finished his career in 1994, with career averages of 13.9 points, six rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.22 steals per game. He is also the Nuggets' franchise leader in all-time steals and second in career assists, and is one of only three players in NBA history to record 15 plus points, rebounds and assists in a single playoff game. Among Lever's career achievements were making two NBA All-Star teams, an All-NBA Second Team in 1987 and an All-Defensive Second Team in 1988.

Sélectionné par les Portland Trail Blazers au 11 rang de la draft 1982 à sa sortie de Arizona State, il était considéré comme un des meilleurs meneurs de jeu de la ligue à la fin des années 1980 quand il portait les couleurs des Denver Nuggets. En dépit de sa taille (1m91), il était régulièrement le meilleur rebondeur des Nuggets. Lever fut transféré par les Nuggets aux Dallas Mavericks en 1990 contre le 9 choix de la draft 1990, ainsi que le premier tour de la draft 1991. Les Nuggets transférèrent par la suite ce choix numéro 9 et leur choix numéro 15 aux Miami Heat contre le 3 choix de la draft 1990 des Heat. Ne jouant pas durant la saison 1992-1993 à cause d'une blessure, Lever termina sa carrière sous les couleurs des Dallas Mavericks après douze années et onze saisons dans la ligue en 1994. Il compile des moyennes de 13.9 points, 6.0 rebonds, 6.2 passes décisives et 2.22 interceptions par match. Il est aussi le meilleur intercepteur et deuxième passeur de l'histoire des Nuggets.
