Yeah, Well, How Many Years Did YOU Play In The NBA?

Dead: Neal Walk, or should I say, Joshua Hawk. Yes, like the guy drafted just ahead of him in the NBA Draft, he changed his name as an adult after a spiritual conversion. Any NBA fan of the '70s remembers him -- the consolation prize for Phoenix after Kareem went to Milwaukee, and he didn't pan out, ending up playing overseas. He became paralyzed from the waist down after surgery to remove a tumor, but kept going and by all accounts was a good guy. But he was always "the guy the Suns drafted second after Kareem."
