Jimmy Walker Signed 3x5 index card - Pistons - Rockets – Jalen Rose
Jimmy Walker(D) played from 1967-76 in the NBA for the Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, and Kansas City Kings. Walker was a two-time All-Star who scored 11,655 points in his career. He is also the father of former NBA player Jalen Rose, though he left Rose's mother prior to his birth and took no part in the child's upbringing. Walker was selected number one overall in the 1967 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons. He was also the final pick in the 1967 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints (the pick now known as Mr. Irrelevant), despite never having played college football. Despite playing in two NBA All-Star games, Walker never reached his full potential as a pro, partly due to his weight gain. His game had been predicated on quickness. Nonetheless, he averaged 20.8 ppg in 1969-70, 21.3 in 1971-72, 19.8 in 1973-74, and averaged almost 17 per game over a nine-year career. The numbers are all the more impressive when one considers that Walker teamed with star guards such as Dave Bing in Detroit and Nate Archibald in Kansas City-Omaha.
Offered is a signed lined 3x5 index card.
