One worse thing - a terrible shooter who doesn’t know they’re a terrible shooter, who has a father who relentlessly tells them to keep shooting, keep shooting.
USA Basketball honors the life, contributions & legacy of Bill Walton.
At just 17 years old, Walton represented USA Basketball at the 1970 FIBA World Championship. Walton, the youngest member of the team, averaged 2.6 points as the USA finished fifth.
A lifelong friend of USA
