The late Walter Davis was poetry in motion.
Walter Davis’s daughter, Jordan Davis at the HOF ceremony: “We all wish he could be here for his enshrinement into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Our father was always so humble, on and off the court, but I know he’s saying to himself, they finally recognized Big Poppa.”
