A Tribute to Bill Walton: Our Interview With The Legend From 2017 

I swear it feels like Bill Walton was like the Mr. Rogers of the NBA. You just hear his voice and it instantly makes you feel better

Just from hearing him from the pods, broadcasting and replays, he just seemed like everything a human should be.

He was so full of life. And this was after something close to 40 surgeries. To be that joyful and giving after decades of medical misery is quite something. I will miss him.

Bill Walton was so awesome. I never got to see him play but hearing his voice and seeing him broadcast was a privilege. The best broadcaster ever at announcing during a blowout. Never bored while watching a Walton broadcast. Bill could always make you smile. He will be missed but always remembered.

That fifth son comment 😭no shame I’m crying for the loss.

Bill Walton is 1 of 1. Truly nobody else like him!

I selfishly thought l had ten more years of listening to the wisdom, insightfulness, intelligence and knowledge of Bill Walton, so l am now soaking up all the unseen and unheard before Bill Walton on the internet hoping it will last ten years.

His energy could light up the universe. Such a loss for the world.

Love Bill Walton

There wasn't even a mould to break when Bill Walton was made. A complete original. One of the last of the Counter-Culture of the 60s.

When this news broke, I was wondering how RJ was doing. I knew that he was incredibly close to the Waltons. When I didn't see how on ESPN, I figured he's still trying to painfully sort things out. I hope the Walton family, including RJ, all the best.

RIP Big Red

Hearing this man's voice after he passed is a bit haunting but I am so glad we had him.

I was blessed to have seen so many Portland Trail Blazer home games During the

Rest in Paradise to the legend 🙏

Pure Joy giver. An amazing human who was also a great basketball player. Prayers.

Rip bill walton 🙏🙏🙏

I recognize the tye-dye shirt from a game I watched, I suspect this podcast happened that day. The broadcaster did a gimmick where college announcers would announce an NBA game, and vice versa. So for a Cavs game they had Bill Walton, Dick Vitale, and a third guy. Very sorry that I forgot the name of the third one, the poor guy was like a straight man in a comedy team, trying to call the game properly while the other two characters were completely off the hook.

He's truly amazing. RIP to one of the greatest humans ever.

"Throw it down big fella!" Sigh...
