Bill Walton is a legendary figure in the world of basketball. A two-time NBA champion, Walton was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993. But beyond his own accomplishments on the court, Walton has also left a legacy through his four sons, all of whom have played college basketball.

Adam Walton

The eldest of Bill Walton's sons, Adam played college basketball at the University of San Diego. He was a solid player, but never reached the same heights as his father. After graduating from college, Adam went on to become a successful businessman.

Nate Walton

Nate Walton played college basketball at the University of Arizona, where he was a standout player. He was named to the All-Pac-10 team twice and was a key member of the Wildcats' 1997 NCAA championship team. After college, Nate played professionally in Europe.

Chris Walton

Chris Walton played college basketball at the University of Colorado. He was a good player, but like his brother Adam, never reached the same level as his father. After college, Chris went on to become a successful coach.

Luke Walton

The youngest of Bill Walton's sons, Luke is the only one who has played in the NBA. He was a standout player at the University of Arizona, where he was named to the All-Pac-10 team three times.
