    Not really. I would prefer to watch basketball games without some weirdo talking nonsense to try and be edgy and cool

    Love that organically there are two Bill Walton threads in 2018. Dude is and was a pimp. And an ambassador of basketball.

    He and Sir Charles should do a podcast or radio show. Absolutely zero prep + sudden, nonsensical tangents + genuine passion + legitimate, big time basketball experience = radio gold. I'd tune-in.

    Edgy? Last thing that he comes of as is edgy. You should let someone take over your bar a couple days of the week and get out and smell the roses. Work seems to have you too stressed.

    But you have to admit it would be entertaining radio. For all the flack he gets, I do think the man knows basketball. (But what do I know? I'm from Alabama and orchestrated perhaps the most embarrassing play in the history of my high school's basketball program; but my lack of b-ball knowledge withstanding, I'd definitely tune-in to Wild Bill.)

    Walton is just so adorable. If you don't like him you hate the crying native american that hates pollution.

    This is one of the all time great ads, but if we're being honest, it would be pretty weird and somewhat off-putting to run across a guy decked out in traditional Comanche garb, crying on the shoulder of a busy highway.

    Thank you much. I'm not all that high on the pecking order around here, so it's nice to get recognized by those who thoroughly outrank me. Good stuff.

    Rest easy Hayden we eradicated most of the natives. They aren't hanging out near highways.

    We may or may not have buried them under your home.

    A Native American curse might explain why my two young sons seem to collaborate with one another on the most efficient ways in which they can drive their mother and me batshit crazy on a daily basis. I had not thought of this explanation beforehand, but I believe you may be on to something.

    I think he’s hilarious and enjoy watching the games he broadcasts. However, I would prefer he not do any games that my team plays in.

    Oh shit I just saw this, sorry.

    Basically they were all part of the same circle, my grandpa was part of the prankster crew in Oregon and Walton (playing for the Blazers) hung around a bit and was a huge Deadhead as well as friends with the band. The Dead was going to play a two nights at the Sphinx in Egypt and Walton traveled with my grandparents and some friends for the show. He told me that they all traveled around together and the Egyptians were going bezerk when they saw Walton because they have never seen someone so tall. I guess they all took acid at the show and Walton was stumbling around because he was hobbled by a broken foot.

    I think on the second night of shows my grandpa bribed his way into one of the Great Pyramids at night and said he got lost, no idea if Walton was with him then.
