RIP Bill!

[NWFree]

Seems kind of young

[HYPOCRACY]

I guess he won’t be calling B1G games next season. RIP.

[gundog]

His politics were pretty dumb, until he got mugged. RIP Bill.

[quilterdebbie]

Yes, RIP Bill!

[workerbee]

Can’t say I’ll miss listening to him, but may he RIP.

[lee martell]

Bill left this realm “early”. A reminder that cancer has it’s own schedule, and can lower the boom for anyone at any time.

[Eccl 10:2]

RIP, Bill.

He was a big Grateful Dead fan, to his credit.

His 1973 NCAA FINAL against Memphis State was an absolute clinic, where he shot 21-22 from the field, and his one miss may have been the easiest shot of them all.

His 1977 NBA Final was also a clinic, when his Blazers won the last 4 games against Dr J & Co. BW was the Finals MVP.

Say “Hi” to Jerry Garcia for me, Bill.

[Responsibility2nd]

Back when the NBA stood for the National Anthem and all things decent.

[Honorary Serb]

Memory Eternal!

[Vermont Lt]

One of the great “bigs”. I hope he is in a wonderful pick up game with Bill and Wilt.

[Alberta's Child]

I can't even read Walton's name without cracking up over theatrics like this from the legendary Frank Caliendo:

Bill Walton and Bill Walton call a college basketball game.

"I could smell colors! I could feel sounds!" LMAO.

I went to a game where Walton lost his shoe so he tossed it at the basket to block a shot. He didn’t succeed and it cost the team a technical foul. But nice try.

[TangoLimaSierra]

The original neck-beard. Hope he left his teeth to some deserving horse.

[MinorityRepublican]

Bill Walton was a well known Vegetarian. Should have ate more fish!

[HartleyMBaldwin]

One of the greats of that era. RIP Bill.

[DAC21]

WOW RIP! Big UCLA fan back in his days. Not as much now but I hang out on a UCLA Sports board and the members got a kick out of him doing commentary for the PAC-12 games on TV. He was a hoot, and kind of weird at the same time.

The best thing about Bill is that he was a volunteer lab rat for the vegan experience. He had a an injury prone career. He died at 71. Keith Richards is going strong at 80. As long as you stay out of the swimming pool you live much longer as a rolling stone than as a vegan.

[GSWarrior]

Back in the 80s I was jogging in the Balboa Park area of San Diego near where Bill Walton lived. He drove by and waved at me. End of story.

[DoughtyOne]

Sadly, he was a very vocal Leftist at times, and I could never appreciate him.

That’s a weak spot for me.

He seems to have been liked by many people. That’s not something to be
dismissed totally.
