Roy Firestone interviews Bill Walton

[gaspo2180]

I am convinced that Bill has no idea sometimes WHAT he will say. In the winter of 2011 he did "color" on one of the West Coast Boston Celtic basketball games. It was hilarious. He contradicted himself several times IN THE SAME SENTENCE !! He made no sense at all, all night. At the end of the game, what could Mike Gorman say but IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE, Bill.

[gabrielmd777]

I feel your pain Bill because I just lost my father two days ago.

[WiltatKansas]

Roy Firestone reminds me of that pneumatic trade mark.

[megasonify]

this big red headed giant needs to be evaluated mentally

[deezdominates]

No wonder he loves Doris Diaw so much. Reminds him of his father

[bfour88]

If my son went to Stanford, I'd be the happiest person alive lol...

[ivorytickler94]

He reminds me of my pastor in a way. hes a very enthusiastic speaker and after u say something, he makes u feel like the greatest person in the world. looks u right in the eye as if what u just said is the most interesting thing in the world.

[jeffandjune]

I agree his father was a very nice man and the whole family is really nice, down to earth people. How his sister put up with those brothers, I will never figure out. They came to all of the games in high school and always tried to be not noticed. They wanted the focus on the players.

[wilsonsmanz]

I love Bill Walton. I don't know anyone so good with words. Sometimes its funny listening to him speak, and he always speaks with such happiness even if its a sad moment. If he's not smiling you know something is wrong.

[ChristineCAlb]

Very sweet. You almost want to hug the guy. Bill W is way better than Dick Vitale.

[boseffis]

love bill...

[3rdStreetStudio]

He was my role model when I was a kid. Still is. thx 4 posting this!

[irmi234]

i was left... with a LOVE FOR LIFE!!!!!! perfect ending

[mwoldin]

This is one of the finest, most heartfelt, most REAL, and most touching remembrances of a parent I can ever remember or imagine hearing or reading. He explains and describes the beauty and wealth of a good father.

What a guy.

[tphoyas]

Don't make em' like big Bill no mo....stick around for a while Redhead...

[gocelts34n7]

Bill Walton is the greatest announcer ever, similar to dick vitale he just LOVES and appreciates the game, he doesnt take it for granted, he praises greatness and makes you excited and feel lucky to be able to watch what you are seeing

awesome

[hserv1]

the bad thing is that frank doesnt do the impression wit a deep enough voice

[hwood1974]

what was it like

what were you left with

Roy knows how to get 'em

[tepidguy]

wow! frank caliendo does a truly incredible imitation of bill!

[mdwivedi]

The importance of a father.

[tushartushar]

I hate people that hate Walton.

[WiltatKansas]

@tushartushar Bill Walton is just the greatest white center ever, the best team player, the best passer, and he played during the 70's.

[michaeldblack]

when he talks it's like music -- he is a composer in conversation

[mdwivedi]

Exactly. He's one of a kind.

[gtpeli2]

definitely

[dnfwrrybm]

Bill Walton sure has come a long way from the freak he was in his early twenties.

[Chimike73]

I was at a Bob Weir/RatDog show about 10 years ago & Bill was there. He was w his wife & high fiving fans & having a good time. He definitely someone who enjoys his life..He's a classic character.

[LACOFD121]

what a classy man, a true bruin

[jayjohnstrick]

i love how bill walton is a dead head, i wanna see him at a show

[eddrousch]

Thank you very much for posting this. That is a stand up guy speaking eloquently about the power of a strong and loving family. He should be commended for his honesty and I personally feel thankful for his willingness to share.  Its something to aspire to. Thanks again.

[endora60]

Bill Walton is such a fabulous personality. Wonderful listening to him talk about someone special to him. If even half what he says about his dad is true, the senior Mr. Walton must've been a super person.

[plpfctn2007]

you're a great man mr. walton. i admire you.

[BC95]

Bill Walton was an awesome basketball player and like said before he is the greatest personality as well. His son has nothing on him, but his son will eventually get up there.

[StevePlzBelieve]

Bill Walton is the greatest personality in Basketball and the World.

[Vamoalla]

Yeah, he does have a ring. Actually a healthy Bill Walton was very formidable. Better than most peeps give him credit for. It's just that he wasn't healthy very much.

David Thompson? How about Penny Hardaway?

[Vamoalla]

I'm trying to think of my All-Time Anti-Ironman team:

Center: Bill Walton

Power Forward: Sam Bowie

Small Forward: Grant Hill

Point Guard: Shaun Livingston

I need a shooting guard. lol

[2hands2make3some]

hey vamoalla dave thompson would be been yer man.but walton needs replaced as well cuz hes on the all brucelee ''be water'' team. cuz its forces like walton that carve grandcanyons.hence bewater team.and letus not forget hes got a ring

[Brettdub]

Penny Hardaway at SG

[Vamoalla]

Excellent.

[SaturdaysCod]

At the 2 = Michael Jordan.

[jimmy51yanks]

Andrew Toney

[3DStoneCt]

Bill Walton is a man that'll touch your heart when you know the true essence of his entire life. He is Moses and Jimmy Hendrix rolled into one.

[LBLOCKCLICK]
