I agree he was awesome.
I met him on the floor at Fare Thee Well before the second night and man does that guy know his stuff.

Re: RIP Bill Walton
When I lived in Scottsdale my wife and I had season tickets for ASU basketball. Walton broadcast a lot of those games and I can say without a doubt the man was loved by everyone. Even with his mobility severely impaired, he'd lumber on the court and the room would just light up. He'd usually make his way to where the players were warming up and slap hands with them. The kids were visibly in awe of an NBA legend being that near to them.
It wasn't unusual the there would be a smattering of applause from the crowd as well. When I worked sporting events before I retired I had met and been around a lot of high profile athletes but without question none of them even came close to the warmth people had toward Walton.
I think I'll dig out my old tie-dyed T-shirt and wear it for the day. RIP.

Re: RIP Bill Walton
His two 30-0 seasons with UCLA in the early 1970's were incredible. In 1971-1972, they won by an average of about 30 points a game. In 1972-1973, in the championship game, Walton hit 21 of 22 shots and scored 44 points.
Many of the players on those teams were freshmen in 1970-1971, when freshmen weren't eligible for the varsity. Just think how much better they would have made the 1970-1971 UCLA team, which only went 29-1 and won the national championship.

R.I.P. Bill Walton I thought he was older than 71 years old.

I'm wondering if the new rules allowing college athletes to be paid will make for future NCAA basketball dynasties such as John Wooden's UCLA. Will there be the equivalent of a "salary cap"?

That's very possible. Connecticut has a very good start, with two straight championships. This article shows how UConn has smartly worked the system to continue winning championships. I'm sure they will adapt smartly to any future changes.moldyoldie wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 10:27 am RIP Bill Walton
