    He’s on fire tonight in the uga chaminade game. After talking about “Maui gold,” which is either pineapple or weed the other guy says can we call the game? These people are watching it why do we need to talk about it?

    The people on the Georgia board are going nuts over Bill Walton calling our game. “The absolute worst.” Clutching their pearls over how he probably does the pot

    In Maui during one of our games he was joking about dragon and implied it was a hallucinogenic.

    Eh I'm kind of in the middle. It can be hilarious but a constant barrage of it for a 2 hour basketball game can eventually get tiring by the end of the game sometimes

    He is one of the greatest Bruins of all time so obviously I am biased. But, I see sports as entertainment. He makes them more entertaining. There were some arguing that he ruined the sanctity of the game which was who my statement was directed at.

    I would love to hang out and smoke a j with Bill, having to listen to his stream of conscious commentary when my team is playing is beyond obnoxious though

    Walton's story is incredible and so broad that i almost hope the doc focuses on just a smaller part of his life. otherwise, it might not have a satisfactory amount of depth.

    - one of the greatest college players/careers ever + legendary win streak + coached by wooden
    - early career peak surpassing just about anyone (nba top 50 with ~3.5 healthy seasons as a star; won an MVP and a title)
    - debilitating injuries ('78 portland team on track for back-to-back titles if walton doesn't break his foot)
    - role player for great 86 celtics

    famously dealt with chronic pain and suicidal thoughts. and famously a vegetarian, dead head, hippie, and stoner. his later-life announcing shenanigans don't even make the top 10 of interesting things about walton.
