| | NBA.com: Walt Bellamy Bio |
 | | Bellamy, a native of New Bern, N.C., had a style of play that may have reflected his laid-back southern nature similar to a fellow native Tar Heel and jazz musician, John Coltrane. |
 | | When he retired in 1974, Bellamy was sixth all-time in scoring, third all-time in rebounding and his.516 career shooting percentage was largely based on dominating, yet agile moves in the paint. |
 | | Bellamy averaged just 11.6 points that season, but he rallied to average 14.7 points for the Hawks in 1971, 18.6 in '72 and 16.1 in '73. |
