ESPN Films teams up with filmmaker Steve James on a four-part film that tells the colorful story of a true sports original: iconic basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton. His life is the stuff of legend: a high school basketball phenom and game-changing big man for the UCLA dynasty, an injury-plagued NBA lightning rod defined by championships and setbacks, and a Grateful Dead devotee who remained true to himself, no matter the cost. He challenged authority, broke rules, won titles, nearly lost everything, and emerged with his rare spirit intact. A far-reaching tale of activism, rebellion, family, politics, pain, and redemption, The Luckiest Guy in the World is an odyssey into the mind and soul of one of the most unique superstars in sports history.
