- I never released this because it was supposed to be part of a larger project but I wanted to share it. I was working on a project in the middle of the pandemic (April 2020) about 2002 Kings and the Kings-Lakers Western Conference Finals in 2002.
I figured I'd reach out to Bill Walton to get an interview.
He responded fast and made it happen. He was nice enough to talk to me for close to an hour about the series. His passion, memories and recall from that time was really special.
He didn't know me but he sure made me feel like a friend.
Rest in peace, Bill Walton.

What's your favorite Bill Walton memory? RIP, Bil.
Seeing him outside of Conseco Fieldhouse (now Gainbridge) walking down a backstreet behind the arena, he was wearing all black. So in the distance, I see this tall rail walking, not a soul around. It was like animation, something that thin and tall didn't look real. But to be wearing all black, well, that was Bill. Like a 7 ft. Johnny Cash strolling around a parking garage took me by surprise. I immediately knew who it was since he was doing the game that day.
Love the tie dye homage! Thx for bringing this gem out of your archives ❤ Great way to honor and remember him. What an amazing memory
Glad you enjoyed it. He was truly one of a kind
3:17 1 second in and I can already tell this is peak Bill Walton 😂 Rip thank you for posting this. It’s amazing. I hope you drop that doc still deuce !
This video is truly special. You can just hear in his voice his love and passion for the game of basketball. You can hear that when he talk about the Kings bad luck and misfortune, that he is reflecting on his own past injury history. Truly a basketball Legend. I will never forget him calling Chris Webber dunks shouting "Throw it down, big man!" He was a great basketball player, announcer, music lover, and a truly great human being. Today I mourn his passing as deeply as If he was family, because i have known him in the public eye for all my life. He was of pure heart, and a kind soul, his impact on others is being widely felt and he leaves a legacy to which I or anyone else that loosely was affected by his greatness wont soon forget. R.I.P.
Greg, this was well said. There was no one quite like him.
Thanks for sharing Deuce!
Of course. Really highlights Bill's appreciation for that time and for Sacramento.
Well put deuce. Bill Walton and Jim grey has stints with the kings. Night and day. Seeing The love for bill walton, it’s mad extensive. Throw it down big man, throw it down. The nasal delivery sticks in my head. Rest in peace big man. Condolences to the Walton family.
Rest easy Bill!
Wow, thanks for sharing this! Really enjoyed it. RIP Bill!

Talk about a basketball mind. We lost a real one today. Thank you for sharing this with us Deuce.
RIP, but fuck em if he thinks game 6 wasn't fixed
Great tshort 😉👍🇱🇹
Thanks Deuce, great interview! RIP Bill Walton... the dude has a cool energy. I was impressed he remembered so many details of that Kings/Lakers series. Fate of the known world!!!!
appreciate it...he was one of a kind.
In other words, Chris Webber didn't step up enough in game 7 to lead his team to victory despite the fact that the Lakers had no one who could guard him.
