Spend some time with former Phoenix Suns center Neal Walk and you can't help but wish you could live life the way he does.

Sound unusual? Maybe, if you just look at Walk from a distance. You might consider his seven-year NBA career as the man overshadowed by Lew Alcindor, or look at the wheelchair he now resides in and come to the conclusion that Walk has every right to be bitter about the hand he's been dealt.
