Chet Walker -10
Chet Walker is a thirteen season NBA star who dominated the game. A 6’4” small forward, he began his NBA career with the Syracuse Nationals in 1962. The following season, he remained with the team as it became the Philadelphia 76ers, a team he would spend the next six seasons with. He scored 9,043 points for the Sixers in his career, and his name appears as one of the top leaders on virtually every offensive statistic for the team.
