To answer your question: the reason I can’t believe it is because he was so vibrant and youthful and full of energy even at 71. Cancer is the worst. Also- you are by far the most annoying poster in this forum. And it’s not even especially close. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,798 Posted May 27, 2024 Heard that this morning, sad. We got to see a lot of Walton with Dave Pasch for Pac-12 basketball (Pasch is one of my favorite play by play guys, does the Cards football and a bunch of other stuff). RIP Bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 3,214 Posted May 27, 2024 Saw him riding a bike a once in Balboa Park, SD. Was quite a sight. He was great in interviews and a very interesting guy to listen to. Games he did could be a bit rough but he always seemed very happy and positive. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s right, no one should ever stand down for what they believe in. Freedom of speech is great, but the next president will see to it that it’s taken from us, but let’s keep voting them in. Amen.

jerryskids 6,798 Posted May 27, 2024 I think Bill Walton was a Buddhist. If so, maybe he'll be re-incarnated as a grizzly bear and eat Weepaws for crapping all over his memorial thread here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about the supposed religious charlatan who uses gay slurs when people push back against his bastardization of the Bible to push his dogma and zealotry? Those people too, right?

cmh6476 1,025 Posted May 27, 2024 If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own? It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they're better left unsung I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty If your cup is full, may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of men There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go, no one may follow That path is for your steps alone Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow You who choose to lead must follow But if you fall you fall alone If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,764 Posted May 28, 2024 6 hours ago, edjr said: greatest team ever Not even close. They weren’t even the best team of their time period. The Magic/Kareem/Worthy Lakers were better. The Dr J/Malone 76ers were better. And the Detroit Pistons Bad Boys might have been better. And that’s just the 80s. The Celtics would have been blown away by the Bulls, the Shaq Lakers, Golden State, or any of the teams currently in the playoffs. Too big too fast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Davis 398 Posted May 28, 2024 Met him two summers ago at a business conference I was at. Told great stories and very personable guy. I'm a pretty tall guy and when I posted a photo with him on social media with him standing way over me that got a lot of comments. What's sad is he was kind of stooped over even at that. When he sat down, he used two stacked chairs to sit so that his knees had less strain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, but in basketball, that doesn't cut it with me. I fully understand. Bob Lanier was another. injuries to his knees and feet limited him quite quickly to only 25 minutes or so a game, yet in those limited miutes he put up numbers which were impressive for guys playing 35 to 40 minutes. Still, he is not often tazlked about amoung the "greats". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
