Clarence “Foots” Walker was a major attraction on the east end of Long Island. At a time when high school basketball served as major entertainment for school-aged youth, and an outlet for a community to pour their passion, Walker was a sight to see.
Most who had the pleasure of watching him play knew he would major it at the highest level. By 1974 he was in the league and spent 10 years playing in the NBA, six of which were in Cleveland and the last four in New Jersey.
Walker, a star at Southampton High School, is the first player in Cleveland history to record a triple-double. Nowadays you can see something like that almost every night with the likes of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love.
He averaged 6.7 points and 4.7 assists per game throughout his career.
