He played collegiately at the University of Pittsburgh, where he led the Big East Conference in rebounding during the 1986-87 and the 1987-88 regular seasons. He led the nation in rebounding during the 1986-87 season. He left school after his junior season and was selected in the first round of the 1988 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets with the 23rd pick overall.

Playing Style

Although best known for his rebounding skills, Lane was also an adept ball handler. His jump shot and foul shooting were never consistent. He was voted as the best rebounder in the history of the ACB. [http://www.solobasket.com/contenidos/reyes/rebote/historia/acb/c-17815.html]

hattering the backboard

On January 25, 1988 in a game against Providence, Lane broke the glass backboard with a one-handed dunk shot with Sean Miller assisting on the play.
