Bill Walton's ongoing ankle injuries that messed up his career and required him to have ankle fusion surgery.
I just had that surgery done in the latter part of 23 and it is nothing nice to deal with and a long haul for recovery as I still can see a few more months of PT for my issues.

Yup. Ankle was that messed up. (Also a bone fracture in his foot.)
Some clowns (like Shaq) think Bill Walton's HOF Induction was a joke.
He totally dominated the league that boasted excellent Centers while he was relatively healthy, including during Blazers '77 NBA Championship and for 58 games of 1978 (50-8 before getting hurt). Blazers would have also won in '78 had he not gotten hurt. That man was a force who could do it all.
Erasing Bill Walton's injuries is the NBA's greatest, "WHAT IF?".
Missed 3 full years yet never gave up. Crazy how Walton somehow managed to still return NINE years after his crippling ankle / foot injuries to play in 1986 for the Bird-Celts at near peak level as a 6th-Man. He had the heart of a lion and played the game with joy. I loved watching that guy.
