Thank you Bill Walton

[BlackSquirrels]

During the Zags game, Bill remarked it was his first time broadcasting a Cuse game.

Bill, one night later as the Orange stomped the ‘Nade: “This is the best game I’ve EVER seen Syracuse play live!”

There was a podcast that Bill was a guest on and he was asked a single question and spoke for 30 minutes.

I found Bill Walton almost unlistenable. At one point, he was talking about defense just being a standard and it's all about offense. Okay, Bill. Lay off the shrooms before the game. He offered absolutely zero. He clearly didn't spend any time learning about the teams beforehand, and he essentially told us that. To me, he is the modern version of Dickie V. However, the difference is that Dickie V offered a "little" commentary besides rainbows and other crap spewing from his mouth. Not a fan of Bill.

Loosen your tie

I did get a kick out of his “This is closing in on being the greatest 7th place consolation game in history!”

Cut it to 32

Loosen your tie

Still don't like Bill.

I love Bill Walton.

Listening to Walton is like the other side of your brain being lit up...a psychedelic type thing.

Some people pay good money for this.

Walton puts the Wavy in the Mushroom Gravy.

Bill Walton should be on Mount Rushmore. He’s a life savant.

Throw him up there with Dolly Parton, Jimmy Carter and Keanu Reeves and I’ll visit it.

And the pucker

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Bill understood, at an early age, where basketball stands in relation to the issues of the day. He carries that into his commentary.

Like someone waking up after smoking with Snoop all night... I can't lie, I do like the fact he said 'it a long time ago and just does him..

 

[two3zone]

You’re welcome.

 

[44doubledees]

Great book to read about Bill: Back From The Dead.

I took your suggestion and listened to his book on Audible, it was truly wonderful, such an amazing story and to hear him tell it was so fun, thanks! I only get back around to thanking you as his passing today made me recall your post.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Can't stand the guy. Never could.

I have to admit that I disliked his antics when it was a game I wanted to pay attention to since he was so often totally distracted from the game he was supposed to be calling. If it was a boring game, he was a welcome distraction.

 

[OrangePA]

For making this game watchable. A+


I’d love a Devendorf and Walton collaboration.

Thank you, Bill Walton!

The greatest college basketball player I ever saw.

The greatest team player I have ever seen play the game.

When he was healthy, there was no better player in the game.

Can't stand the guy. Never could.

Unfortunate

Bill Bradley was my 1st favorite basketball player and Big Red became my new #1. Not sure any player, not named Melo, ever captured my attention like Bill Walton. He really understood his position in life. Here is a great video of Rick Carlisle from today reflecting on Walton and how he was an important person in his life.
