Lanier's feet — size 22 shoes — were the largest in NBA history, a fact that became a well-known trivia item throughout his career.
He suffered a severe knee injury in the 1970 NCAA Tournament — the very injury that caused the Pistons to select him first overall — limiting him early in his career and raising questions about what he might have achieved fully healthy.
After retirement, Lanier served as an NBA Ambassador for decades, representing the league internationally and working extensively in youth development programs.
His averaged 22+ PPG and 10+ RPG seasons for Detroit placed him among the elite big men of the 1970s despite the Pistons never making a deep playoff run during his tenure.
