Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 5, 2015 Don't Walk....... RUN....to the cemetery!Neal Walk, a former NBA big man who played for the Phoenix Suns, New Orleans (now Utah) Jazz and New York Knicks, died Sunday at a Phoenix hospital. He was 67.No offence to the deceased, but goodness (go look at the pic) he was playing the wrong sport to be a harry ape. He should have been the league's leading scorer--I for one wouldn't have leaned up against him or allowed it vice versa. He could have 'walked' to the basket untouched. Yes, you saw what I did there.
