Walton is a retired NBA basketball player and television sportscaster. The “Big Red-Head”, as he was called, achieved super stardom playing for John Wooden’s powerhouse UCLA Bruins in the early ’70s, winning three straight College Player of the Year Awards, while leading the Bruins to two Division I national titles. He then went on to have a prominent career in the NBA where he was the league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) and won two NBA championships. His professional career was significantly hampered by multiple foot injuries. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on May 10, 1993 and the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame that same year.
