I saw Bill and his wife Lori at many Dead and Company shows. Dave Pasch is right. Bill loved talking to people, especially if they joked and laughed a lot. Each time I saw him, our conversation was longer than the previous. I can’t say that he remembered my real name, but he would refer to me as Larry Bird. Bill’s best game of his last season in the NBA came on the night I was born. He loved that. A couple of inside jokes with Bill: Which team did Jack Straw play for? Wichita State Who do you like more? Casey Jones or KC Jones? “Trick question. It’s the same guy.” What do you think of Dave Pasch? “I love that guy! Let me tell you, he is the reason our broadcasts do well.” How much do I look like Dave Pasch but younger? “Oh, you’re a lot better looking than him.” RIP Bill
ESPN initially wanted Walton to do the NBA but with back issues, he did PAC-12 games and was legendary and was allowed to be himself including his clothing

He was my neighbor, nicest man ever! Couldn't miss him riding his bike around the neighborhood.
Thank you, Dave, you were a great partner… Bill was a shining light who made us all better.
Bill was one of a kind… his love for Grateful Dead made him so kind
Love it !
Dave and Bill we’re a great team. Dave was the perfect foil to the Great Bill Walton.

Great, funny remembrance, loved reading this Matt! Gosh the world misses Bill...
I love when he reacts to frank caliendo doing an impression of him. Took it in stride and said something funny of course 😆😁lol
Rest In Peace Sir
I actually watch videos of Frank Caliendo impersonating him in Bill's actual presence. Great stuff.
