One of the great memories I have of "That Stroke" is watching late Friday night broadcasts of west coast games. Brent Musburger was doing the call and Davis' jumpers were so high that Musburger would yell Walterrrrrrr as the ball left his hands pause pause pause and DAVIS as it ripped the twine.
Factoid: Many people don't know that Davis was Jordan's favourite player as a kid.
Funny you should say, as kids in the playground, we would imitate Walter with outragous rainbows shots.....they seldomly kissed iron, let alone twine.
yes sir! Great Factoid. In fact, he wanted to be a hybrid of Dr. J and Walter Davis. He chose number 23 becuase his brother was 45 and 23 was roughly half, however, when his 23 jersey was stolen just moments before a game, so he wore number 12 just one time.
Factoid: He choose number 12 becasue it was a combination of his two favorite childhood players, Dr. J who wore number 6 and Walter Davis who wore number 6. Pretty cool, huh? ......"and if you don't know, now you know *****."
