Nick Van Exel
The Navigator
Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.
Nick Van Exel reads as The Navigator because his career was steered by judgement under pressure rather than a single defining breakthrough. Sliding to the second round sharpened his resolve without curdling it into bitterness.
“If you don't stand up for who you are, you're gonna get dusted in this league. So I had to get up. I had to go in his face.”
“You can't make me feel a certain way. I came from those of Wisconsin, single parent home. I made it. You ain't finna putting no damper on me just because you want me to feel a certain way.”
“I rather had the Fish keep starting, let me come off the bench, because now I get the fish more confidence. I already got my confidence up, and then I think we would be better like that.”
