Rip bill walton

[Baseball Rarities]

Ugh. This is horrible news. My daughter is a student-athlete at UCLA and Walton always went out of his way for them and would show up randomly at many of their events. He definitely had a unique personality and I became a big fan over the years. There is a great ESPN 30 on 30 about him was called The Luckiest Guy in the World that is definitely worth watching if you are a fan. RIP Bill.

I remember that game to this day. Larry Kenon was a great player, but Walton was just unstoppable.

"Special K" to "Dr. J." He WAS really good but sort of fizzled after about 6-7 years in the pros.

Another great Walton moment, although this time not in his favor. A 6'4" (if he was that) David Thompson rejects his shot in one of the greatest blocked shots ever. Thompson, like Bob Beamon in Mexico City, appears to have been granted a temporary exemption from the law of gravity.

Sad news He climbed the mountain in that '73 Championship game--the best collegiate performance I think I ever saw. He and David Thompson are both on my NCAA dream team.
