Six-time All-Star, Walter Davis, passed away today at the age of 69.
Davis was a First Team All-ACC player at the University of North Carolina, and won Gold at the 1976 Olympics for the United States. Drafted ninth overall by the Phoenix Suns in 1977, Davis won the Rookie of the Year, and appeared in all of his All-Stars as a Sun. He also played professional for Denver and Portland, and was one of the few deep threats of his day.
He accumulated 19,521 Points over his career, and had six 20-plus PPG seasons. Davis was also twice a Second Team All-NBA selection.
Davis is ranked #13 on our Notinhalloffame.com list of those to consider for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and his #8 was retired by the Suns.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Walter Davis.
