Rex Walters: Former NBA Player & Coach
Send us a text
It’s our pleasure to announce that we have Rex Walters on the podcast today! Walters was a can’t-miss talent who played with a lot of pride and passion for both Northwestern and Kansas. After leading Kansas to a Final Four appearance, he was selected 16th overall in the 1993 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets. He went on to have a successful 7 year NBA career with the New Jersey Nets, Philadephia 76ers, and the Miami Heat.
Walters carried that same passion that he had as a player onto the sidelines for his coaching career. He spent a few seasons as an assistant coach for Valparaiso and Florida Atlantic before taking on the head coaching role at the latter. Most of you may remember his time as the Head Coach at San Francisco from 2008-2016, but our Nevada Wolfpack fans will remember his 2018-2019 season as an assistant to Coach Musselman at Nevada.
We had so much fun hearing about Walter's journey to the NBA. He shared so many great stories about his background and development as a young player. We also learn more about his Final Four run, rookie season in New Jersey, those grueling Heat vs Knicks series, playing for Pat Riley, his transition from being a player to a coach, his role in the movie Blue Chips and so much more!
The passion this guy had as a player was unmatched and you can see that same attitude in his coaching as well. But what really came across in this episode is his love for the game. We felt it and we know that you all will too. Thanks again Coach Walters!
Hope you all enjoy this one as much as we did.
Also- If you love Coach Walters in this episode then you might want to check out his Podcast titled "Real Talk Basketball with Rex Walters". It is definitely worth the listen!
