面对每个困难，他都不曾退缩

无论是球场上还是摄影机前，他都不只是表现优异，他重新造就了它们。他从高三中期到大四中期连续近五年保持不败战绩。他是篮球史上获得多个NCAA和NBA冠军的四位选手之一，包括两个辉煌的不败赛季和多个UCLA的NCAA冠军。作为一名职业选手，他在波特兰和波士顿的球队时获得NBA冠军，被评为NBA的50位最佳选手之一。他获得多个艾美奖，入选50位顶尖体育播音员之一。更让人激动的是，他还被招进了篮球名人堂。他一生都在与口吃，一系列的伤势，以及其他阻碍他的事物作斗争。

Bill Walton

Class of 1974

In the face of every obstacle, he stood tall.

On the court or on camera, Bill Walton didn’t just achieve excellence. He reinvented it. He did not lose a basketball game for almost five years, from the middle of his junior year of high school to the middle of his senior year in college. He is one of only four players in the history of basketball to have won multiple NCAA and NBA Championships, including two glorious undefeated seasons and NCAA championships at UCLA. As a professional, Walton also won National Basketball Association titles with Portland and Boston and was named one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players of all time. Multiple Emmy Award-winner and named one of the top 50 sports broadcasters of all time. And, delightfully, the inaugural inductee into the Grateful Dead Hall of Honor. All while battling and beating a stutter, an extraordinary string of injuries–and anything else that got in Bill Walton’s way.
