      I remember a game the Blazers played against the Celtics, I think in 1978 during their 50 and 10 run where Walton totally dominated but only scoring three points and the Blazers won by 30+. The Blazers were a TEAM.

      With respect, no, he was not. The greatest basketball player was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
      Still, Bill was a GREAT player.

      @@yourroyalhighness7662 Bill Walton SWEPT Kareem in the 1977 Western Conference Finals and won the NBA title also winning MVP. So, with respect, Walton was better that year. In 1978 Walton was the NBA MVP. Meaning he was better that year as well. But to help your argument, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the greatest center of all time. Just not in 1977 and 1978.

    I will add data to backup Mr. Hart about Mr. Walton's accessibility. A friend of mine ran into Mr. Walton in the late 1980s in San Diego. He chatted with my friend for a fair amount of time, much more than a "nice to meet you".

      It might be Neil Young? It's also playing in Part 1 (which I just saw, & saw last), when his wife Lori says "this is the Neil Young room". Instrumental, short, choppy elec guitar strumming. One of the only songs in all 4 parts that is repeated. Anyone?

      Dwight Howard never leaned how to play basketball. It is too bad that Dwight didn't go to college. The other thing is that Dwight was not possessed to win. He also never developed an all around offensive game.

    • @Gnofg
      @Gnofg Год назад +4

      Walton was so athletic and a force. Compare his athleticism to Jokic. Bill was an incredible force on defense. Jokic is g horrible on defense. Great on offense. There is also a video on the series were he dribbles full court. He could really dribble.
