Bill Walton, Steve Nash, Bill Bradley on NBA Broadcast For Mavs vs. 76ers

NBA Hall of Famers Bill Walton, Steve Nash and Bill Bradley will be a part of NBA Throw It Down's broadcast of the Dallas Mavericks vs. Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA app.

While the Dallas Mavericks vs. Philadelphia 76ers may be missing some star power with the absence of Joel Embiid due to a torn meniscus, the same can't be said for one of the broadcasts of the game. 

Bill Walton will be joined by Steve Nash and Bill Bradley on the NBA Throw It Down broadcast of the Mavs vs. the 76ers in the NBA app. The trio are all NBA Hall of Famers and have three championships and three MVPs among them. 

Walton is one of the most decorated big men to play in the NBA. He is a two-time All-Star and made the All-NBA and All-Defense team twice. Walton also won two NBA championships and was the finals MVP in the 1976-77 season and the MVP in the 1977-78 season. He also made the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, among other accolades.

Nash, 49, who also made the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, was an eight-time All-Star, seven-time All-NBA, five-time assist champion and two-time MVP. He played for the Phoenix Suns (1997-98 and 2005-2012), the Mavs (1999-2004) and the Los Angeles Lakers (2013-14).

Nash entered the coaching ranks and became the Brooklyn Nets' head coach (2020-2023). He held that role for two seasons before getting fired early into his third year at the helm. 

Mavs Must Address Roster Needs Around Luka Doncic as NBA Trade Deadline Nears

Bradley spent his entire career with the New York Knicks (1968-1977) and helped lead them to two NBA championships in the 1969-1970 and 1972-73 seasons. Bradley, 80, was also an Olympic gold medalist in 1964 and was a three-time All-American and NCAA Player of the Year in 1965 for Princeton.

After his playing career, the Princeton and Oxford grad was a senator in New Jersey for 18 years. Bradley also ran for the Democratic Party's nominee to become President of the United States in 2000 but lost to Al Gore. 

Dallas (26-23) and Philadelphia (30-18) square off at the Wells Fargo Center at 6 p.m. CT. … with the Mavs hoping Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are healthy enough to go.
