That name-dropped dunker, Larry Nance Jr., agrees (after apologizing for calling later than scheduled because his agent forgot to forward my number). Nance was taken 27th in the 2015 draft, has since played for five different NBA franchises, and is currently on his second stint with the Cavs. “I think I’m one of the most competitive guys in the league, honestly. You don’t stay in [the NBA] 11 years without being competitive. But you can be competitive without being an asshole,” Nance says.
