NBA: The 25 least deserving Hall of Famers of all-time

NBA: The 25 least deserving Hall of Famers of all-time: 9. Bill Walton

Stats: 13.3 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 2.2 bpg

No matter how hard we try, we simply can’t wrap our brains around the fact that Bill Walton is a Hall of Famer.

For the first few seasons of his career, Walton was one of the best big men in league history. As a member of the Portland Trail Blazers, Walton was named to two All-Star Games in his first four seasons. He was also an NBA champ and a league MVP.

All around, Walton seemingly had no weaknesses. He averaged in the high teens and gobbled up boards every year. Walton also invited plenty of players to his nightly block parties and led the league in 1977 with 3.2 a game.

The problem with Walton making the Hall of Fame is that he missed a ton of time, three years to be exact. Once he returned to the game in the mid-1980s, he wasn’t the same player. Walton spent a ton of his time languishing on the bench of several teams and put up a ton of pedestrian stats.

In total, Walton only played ten seasons in the league and for the majority of it, he was a bonafide role player. Nothing about that screams Hall of Fame.
