We Bostonians feel so lucky to have had a dose of Bill Walton and his cool CA vibe... he loved being a Celtic for two years and made the whole city a happier town... his visits and calls into radio shows after his playing years with all his stories, we'll never forget him.
Such a great story about Bill and Jay Bilas' dad. And Jay is right; the cramped confines of an aircraft carrier is no place for a 7-footer, especially with Bill's back and foot issues. But he soldiered on with a smile. An example for us all.
That's a great line, "someone you idolize that you meet and exceeds your expectations."
I’ve heard nothing but 100% positive things about Bill Walton. A great HUMAN.
What a wonderful compliment. And let me tell you, attorney Jay Bilas is capable of that evaluation - extremely intelligent.
One of my favorite basketball players, and commentators.

"Coach K is to you what John Wooden was to me. But you were not to Coach K what I was to John Wooden."
Bill stood out when he'd ride his bicycle past my house, and he'd always smile and wave.
such a nice guy i met him a couple years ago at a Wawa 😂😂 he gave me a autograph and took my ppnd J and tried giving it to his friend
Bill Walton was not only the best center when healthy but a colorful guy. Would have loved to have met him.
Good stuff............a legend will be missed

Luke knows how to make people feel “like the center of the universe” as well. In fact, all four sons are terrific.
Bill was sure special.
One life, right! 🙏💪🌏🌍🌎❤️🇺🇸🖖
Look at the height difference in that picture...I thought Bilas was 6'8??
