The Lakers of Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Lakers selected Nixon with the twenty-second overall pick in the 1977 NBA draught. He played with the Lakers for six successful seasons, and he also helped the Showtime Lakers win national basketball association (NBA) championships in 1980 (4–2) and 1982 (4–2). Two games against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The same two teams would face again in the 1983 NBA Finals, although Philadelphia would win that series by a score of four games to none (4-0). The Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs by the eventual Western Conference champions in 1978-Seattle SuperSonics, 1979-Seattle, and 1981-Houston Rockets. In the 1982 playoffs, he led that squad in scoring.
Nixon was involved in a severe collision with Andrew Toney of the 76ers in the first quarter of Game One of the 1983 Finals.

Los Angeles Clippers|San Diego Chargers

Prior to the start of the 1983–84 season, the popular Nixon was traded to the San Diego Clippers in exchange for draught rights to protect Byron Scott. Magic Johnson, the rival team’s point guard, was released in exchange for Nixon not having to share the ball with him, according to Lakers general manager Jerry West.
In his first season with the Clippers, he led the league in total assists and was named to the All-Star team for the second time in 1984-85.
Nixon spent most of his later career on the injured list after the 1985 to 1986 season, spending more than two full seasons on the disabled list before retiring for good at the end of the 1988 to 1989 season. Nixon would never make the playoffs again while with the Clippers.
For the 1978-1979 season, he tied Eddie Jordan of the New Jersey Nets for the NBA lead in steals with 201, and total games in 82 regular-season games plus 23 playoff games for a total of 105. The following season, from 1979 to 1980, he led the league in minutes played (3,226), minutes per game (39.3), and assists (642). For the 1983-1984 season, he led the league in assists (914), as well as regular-season games played (82).
Nixon missed the 1986–87 season after stepping into a hole during a softball game in New York City’s Central Park during the summer of 1986, causing severe injury to the tendon immediately above his left knee.
On November 4, 1987, Nixon broke his right Achilles tendon during a preseason workout. He would miss the entire 1987-1988 season due to the injury. Prior to his injury, Nixon had appeared in 715 of 725 games in his first nine seasons.

Achievements in the workplace

Nixon scored 12,065 points (about 15.7 points per game) and had 6,386 assists (8.3) in 768 games played throughout his NBA career. Despite his great stats, he may be best remembered for faking a free throw at the end of a Lakers-San Antonio Spurs game on November 30, 1982, which resulted in a double lane violation.
Instead of requiring him to shoot the free throw again, the referees erroneously ordered a jump ball. The Lakers received the ball and Nixon hit a field goal to tie the game, which they did in overtime. In April 1983, the final three seconds of the game were replayed.
