    What a life he had. He saw the Dead in Egypt in 1978 and went on a private cruise of the Nile afterwards with the band.

      He was legendary man because of his personality. But as player. He was just average NBA player. Just look his statistics numbers. Not that great. Because of his personality He got all popularity. Numbers don't laying.

    Bill Walton refused to accept that this moment in time isn’t, or shouldn’t be, awesome. And that each person he met wasn’t, or couldn’t be, amazing.

    What I find most appealing about this man is that he's like the ultimate fan of the game with his commentary but then u realize he was also a big part of the game and it leaves you more in awe of him. His style, openess, happy going friendliness is what made him one of most special people of our generation. Definitely one of a kind.

    I met Bill when I was 20(30 now) at a non basketball Corporate event. got a pic with him, and a signed basketball. I remember thinking he was just the greatest person ever. infectious smile and attitude. I rarely get emotional with celeb deaths, this one hit really hard

    Shaq should be ashamed of himself. The fact that he had beef with Bill, and called him out saying he shouldn’t be a hall of famer was wrong. He was Bill’s biggest hater throughout the past 35 years

    First Take is so much better to watch when Stephen A 🐍mith is not there. That cast right there is special. Some it’s better without SAS noise and trying to up stage everyone on the cast. It better to be seen and not heard. Love that cast without SAS. ESPN take note. Just saying

      He got injured bad man. Many say he was Jokic before Jokic as he was one of the premier big men of the 70s.
