    I will never understand the hate for Bill Walton. He's different. So fucking what! Remember we used to have people like that. Before we shot them up with tranquilizers and castigated them. I grew up with old hippies. They were my family and their friends, basically. You find out cool things from old hippies about Frank Zappa and drugs. Bill is just an extention of that weird subculture that is rapidly disappearing.

    Yeah. Lane County, Ashland and Yreka. The hippy retirement communities. Thank God!

    So I'll be watching the game on mute.
    Just like I did during players only when CJ went for 50? I think that was the game.

    Our only championship !! I still lived in LA back then so I never saw Walton play not even at UCLA. My dad did take me to see West and Chamberlain and the Lakers in '72 though. My first basketball love

    My dad was a huge basketball fan (in his youth) and went to see the Bruins practice when they had Jabbar. He said the practice was better than the games themselves. He said the games were basically like warmups.

    Best basketball ever - and until another Blazer team wins a championship, Walton ranks as “Best Trailblazer Ever”

    I enjoy him. He marches to the beat of his own drum. Sometimes its nice to watch the game and not to have a serious broadcast. I can listen to his nostalgic bike rides around Portland in the 70's all day.
