William Walton Sharman (May 25, 1926 – October 25, 2013) was an American professional basketball player and coach. He is mostly known for his time with the Boston Celtics in the 1950s, partnering with Bob Cousy in what was then considered the greatest backcourt duo of all time.
Sharman was a pure shooter who had an incredibly accurate one-handed set shot standing on both feet. His pinpoint shooting was reflected in his free throws as well. Bill led the league in free throw percentage seven times in a nine-year period between 1953 and 1961.
