Bill Walton (1975-1987)

Bill Walton must have gotten tired of winning during his career. He started out at UCLA and went on to join the NBA. He averaged 13.8 defensive rebounds and 5.8 assists per 48 minutes played. Impressive, right? In 1978, he was named league MVP and won two titles, one each with the Boston Celtics and the Portland Trail Blazers. While injuries and turnover problems hurt his position, he is still a great center.
