Message: [QUOTE="Capt. Tuttle, post: 5087795, member: 191"] My father’s favorite player. He loved to watch the big red-head. Walton was the big fundamental before Tim Duncan. He revered life, but never took himself or basketball too seriously. He did, however, take serious things seriously, as evidenced by his stance on the Vietnam war. To those who found his irreverent broadcasting not to their liking, I am sorry you could not see the beauty and poetry in his musings. My life as a consumer of basketball as entertainment is better for having had the privilege of hearing Walton on his broadcasts. Thanks, Bill, for your genius on the court, and on the airwaves. You made my favorite game better. [/QUOTE]
