Okay. This one was tough to decide, but I’m going to go with the first one that was 100% accurate with no errors/typos, etc… which is Walker.
Jake, that Hoopedia place is the only site that puts him at 7’2.5, everywhere else has 7.2. Also, at an event we had here at the Museum a couple years ago with the ‘74 team, Burleson himself said that he was actually 7’2, so I’m gonna go with that.
LAB, Don’t think you can purchase this anywhere as a poster, but you can order the photo from the Special Collections Library at NCState.

You know, Phil Spence and Tim Stoddard were hosed on this deal. Not to mention they had that studid Spalding basketball standing in for “Wilson”. I mean really, Wilson was a movie star in Castaway. Wait that was his cousin soccerball.
