 ESPN Classic - He's more than a footnote to a title season
Bill Walton's 10-year point total -- fewer than 6,000 -- is not only a far cry from Abdul-Jabbar's nearly 35,000 or Chamberlain's 31,419 but also suggests more of a mop-up player or a substitute off-guard than one of the league's all-time best.

 Sleeve Notes - Walton: Coronation Te Deum
Walton’s determination to ‘make myself interesting’ — a revealing phrase which he came up with many years later — focused not on sport (he enjoyed cricket and football and later coxed the Christ Church rowing eight) or on performance (he was only a moderate violinist, pianist and organist), but on composition.
It is a choral incarnation of Walton in ‘pomp and circumstance’ mode, and with its episodic sections of contrasting tuttis and semi-choruses, it set the pattern that the composer would follow in his subsequent choral settings, such as The Twelve, the Jubilate and the Magnificat.
Walton’s end was spent admiring music from his beginning, even though he might not have enjoyed it much then, as that little choirboy from Oldham on the start of his ‘long journey south’.
