Walton’s Hall-of-Fame Staredown
Date: ca. 1986
With the scowl on Julius “Dr. J” Erving’s face and the knowing smirk from Bill Walton, you can tell who got the better of the matchup as the two future Hall-of-Famers battled. Walton and Erving grew to respect one another as Walton later recounted: “The minute Dr. J started floating over that court with the hair and the beard – he would just come at you and it was exhilarating.”
