Timeline

1976

Samaki Ijuma Walker (born February 25, 1976) is an American retired professional basketball power forward and center.

1996

Walker played college basketball at the University of Louisville and was drafted in 1996 by the Dallas Mavericks, where he played until 1999.

Walker decided to forgo his final two years of eligibility and enter the 1996 NBA draft.

Selected ninth overall by the Dallas Mavericks, Walker drew widespread attention on draft day for wearing an all-white suit with a matching fedora.

1997

A 6' 9" power forward, Walker became the youngest Maverick to appear in a game. That season, new coach Don Nelson began drastically changing the makeup of the team, and Walker was actually the longest-tenured Maverick while still a rookie. He posted career highs in points and rebounds with 8.9 points and 7.4 rebounds a game during the 1997–98 season for the Mavericks.

1999

Walker continued to play for the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs (1999–2001), Los Angeles Lakers (2001–2003), Miami Heat (2003–2004), Washington Wizards (2004–2005), and Indiana Pacers (2005–2006).

Afterwards, Walker played in various international and minor leagues.

Walker was born in Columbus, Ohio, the youngest of seven children.

He attended Eastmoor High School and Whitehall-Yearling High School.

Denny Crum recruited Walker to attend the University of Louisville, where he enjoyed two successful seasons playing for the Cardinals.

He recorded the first triple double in school history, with 14 points, 10 boards and 11 blocks in a win over their rival the Kentucky Wildcats.

His 11 blocks and the team's 17 blocks in the game were both school records as well.

In the summer of 1999, Walker signed a two-year contract with the defending champion San Antonio Spurs.

He opted for a smaller deal to play in San Antonio rather than re-sign with Dallas, as he wanted to play under the tutelage of David Robinson and Tim Duncan.

He played two years with the team as a reserve.

2001

In the summer of 2001, Walker signed as a free agent with the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, who needed a power forward following the departure of veteran Horace Grant.

Walker started in 63 of 69 games, averaging 6.7 points per game and 7.0 rebounds for the season, and stepped in at Center for superstar Shaquille O'Neal when injured.

He recorded a season high 18 points to go with 10 rebounds in a Christmas Day win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

2002

On February 19, 2002, Walker entered the injured list because of a hyperextended elbow.

Walker would only start in 5 of the Lakers 19 playoff games, with Robert Horry entrenching himself as the starter with clutch plays.

In Game 4 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals on May 26, 2002, Walker made a 3-pointer at the end of halftime; by then the Sacramento Kings led over the Lakers 65–51.

Although the shot counted, television replays showed Walker had released the ball after the buzzer went off.

The Lakers won the game 100–99 on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Horry that tied the series at 2.

The Lakers then won the series in 7 to advance to the Finals.

Walker's shot influenced the NBA's decision to institute instant replay for review the following season.

The Lakers reached the NBA Finals, defeating the New Jersey Nets in a four-game sweep to win their third straight championship and give Walker his first and only championship ring.

Shaq has credited Walker for his contributions to the Lakers championship run, namely his play against Chris Webber of the Kings during the Western Conference Finals series.

He would be the last Laker to wear #52 before it was retired in honor of Jamaal Wilkes.

The following year, Walker was now the primary backup behind O'Neal and Horry, but still started in 39 of 67 games.

The Lakers three–year reign as champions ended with a loss to the Spurs in the conference semifinals.

He became a free agent after the season, and the Lakers opted to sign Karl Malone and draft Brian Cook, effectively ending his run in Los Angeles.

2003

Walker signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat in 2003.

The following season, he signed with the Washington Wizards.

He dealt with numerous injuries both years and only played 47 games over the two seasons.

2005

Walker spent a brief seven–game stint with the Indiana Pacers during the 2005–06 season and a portion of the 2007 offseason with the Milwaukee Bucks, but was unable to latch on with either team.

2006

In January 2006, Walker played in four games with the Russian Professional Basketball League team UNICS Kazan, averaging 7.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

2007
