4. Bill Walton: Short only on looks.
It should not be physically possible to be nearly seven feet tall and have a head too big for your body. Bill Walton accomplished it, however. Another excellent player who makes this list, Walton had a good professional career hampered by injuries. As a college player, though, he was legendary. Walton was a giant cog in the NCAA championship machine John Wooden assembled at UCLA from 1963 through 1975, winning titles in ’72 and ’73 with the Bruins.
Bill had an Easter Island-sized head, topped with shaggy orange hair that was sometimes in a ponytail and sometimes standing in a Mike Brady perm. Of course he made up for it with teeth that could have munched corn on the cob through a picket fence. After his retirement from playing, Walton moved to broadcasting where he was mostly unintelligible for many fan-confusing years.
