@dralger walton did n't have lenght in his career due to injuries..another hof who did n't play much years was reed!that does n't mean were n't both great players in their prime.
walton had about 19p.14reb.5as.3bl. in his prime,that was unfortunately for 3years but manage to lead blazers in their only champ!walton was one of the best all-around centers ever and was great defender to!so it's stupid to compare him with grant or cartwright,it's obvious u are young and did n't watch him in his prime

one of only 5 players to score 2800 points in a season,he led the league in scoring three straight years when kareem was in his prime.his 2831 points in 74-75 has been exceded by only three players.kobe bryant (2832 in 05-06) michael jordan twice (2868 in 87-88 and 3041 in 86-87) and four times by wilt chamberlain (2948 in 63-64,3033 in 60-61,3586 in 62-63 and 4029 in 61-62)

@SSJ4Brolyisthebest he played for some horrible teams, which of course was not his fault. By the time he joined the Lakers, Magic had become the main attraction. Also Bob was not known for playing D. He didn't want to risk getting into foul trouble where he'd stay on the bench and not score. Those two reasons kept him off the 50 Greatest list, i believe.

Bill Walton was so formative and important for the league like Bill Cartwright or Horace Grant. I don't understand why this guy is in the Hall of Fame. The statistics say that Bill Walton was a mediocre player, nothing else.

It's because Bill Walton made the 50 greatest list instead of McAdoo. All of the credit Walton got was based on his college career at UCLA. He was never the star McAdoo was in the NBA due to his injuries and absence from games to go to Grateful Dead concerts and take hits of acid!

How did he not make the NBA's 50 greatest? 1974-75 he averaged 34pts 14rb & 2blk that same season in the playoffs he damn near avg. 40pts. rookie of the year in 1973 & two years later he won MVP and won 2 championships.

Bob even played for the Celtics but it for just 20 games in the 1978-1979 NBA season. Bob could shoot his ass off!
