Lafayette "Fat" Lever

Lafayette “Fat” Lever is a former professional basketball player who played for three teams over 11 seasons in the NBA. The two-time NBA All-Star began his professional career with the Portland Trailblazers before moving on to the Denver Nuggets and finally the Dallas Mavericks. He was considered one of the premier guards in the late 1980s, finishing second on the team’s career assists and steals list after his time with the Nuggets. Fat recorded multiple double-doubles over his career, and in arguably his best season in 1988-89, he averaged a career-high 19.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.7 steals per game. He was named to the All-NBA Second Team in 1987 and the All-Defensive Second Team in 1988. In 2017, the Nuggets retired Fat’s number 12 jersey.

Prior to his professional career, Fat played college basketball at Arizona State University, and was a four-year starter for the Sun Devils. He led ASU in assists and steals each season and was named All-American and two-time First-Team All-Pac-10.

Fat’s long basketball career made him susceptible to wear and tear. But after many years of running up and down the court, Fat says he’s found something that helps him feel better every day-- Kannaway Salve.

“The CBD gets really deep into the muscles and into the joints, and makes you feel like a whole new player,” explains Fat.

Fat applies the hemp CBD oil topical to his tired muscles and joints, or wherever he feels the need for some natural relief.

Fat adds, “So if you want to stay in the game, join our Kannaway team … Make yourself feel better. Make everyone around you feel better, and feel just like you’re still playing the game as we did in the past.”
