Offensively, Bill Walton could score at will from the post position, his best move being a jump hook that he shot with either hand. He was a team leader on defense, and also was a superb rebounder and outlet passer on the fast break. Jack Ramsay once said that if injuries hadn't curtailed Bill Walton's career, he would have been recognized as the best all-around center ever. This Walton Portland Trail Blazers road mesh jersey is from the 1977-1978 season. On the right front tail is the "Rawlings" manufacturer's tag with the size "44" and to the right of this is a flag tag reading "3 Inch Extra Length." The team name "Blazers" has been sewn across the front of the jersey and the player name "Walton" has been sewn across the back. The player number "32" has been sewn onto the left breast and the back of the jersey. All the letters and numbers are made of red on white tackle twill. Walton has signed the jersey on the front in black Sharpie with a huge signature that rates at least an 8. The jersey shows good game use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. The autograph comes with a PSA/DNA letter of authenticity.
