About Bill Walton
A dominant 6'11" center out of UCLA, Bill Walton won two NCAA titles (1972, 1973) and was a three-time national college player of the year before the Portland Trail Blazers made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 1974 draft. Across 14 injury-shortened NBA seasons with Portland (1974-79), the San Diego/Los Angeles Clippers (1979-85), and the Boston Celtics (1985-88), he led the Blazers to the 1977 championship and won Finals MVP, then was named 1978 league MVP and an All-NBA First Team pick. Chronic foot injuries cost him hundreds of games, but he reinvented himself off the Celtics' bench, winning the 1986 Sixth Man of the Year Award on Boston's title team - the season this card captures him as a reserve. Walton remains the only player to win NBA MVP, Finals MVP, and Sixth Man of the Year. A devoted Grateful Dead follower nicknamed "the Grateful Red," he became a popular color commentator and entered the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993.
