Very sad that Bill Walton has died. He was my age (71) and a really good dude. He had a long fight with prostate cancer. People, make sure you get your PSA checked and stay on top of that. It's beatable but too often the victim is unaware he has it until it has spread.Comment

Bill Walton was the only autograph I ever waited in line for. He signed a school report I did on him back in 1973. When he was drafted by the Trail Blazers - it was one of the happiest days of my life. I wished he'd buy the house next door - so I could mow his lawn. On June 6th 1977 - the Blazers won the NBA Championship - coming from 2 games down to win 4 in a row.Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View Post

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I loved Bill Walton. RIP."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Bill Walton's commentary of Pac-12 games was by far the best part of Pac-12 basketball over the past decade.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostAs I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Bill made watching basketball much more fun. RIPComment

I would put him in top three college players of all time and his game against Memphis in the 1973 Championship game as the greatest college game ever. It's to bad he couldn't stay healthy.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

How are people still dying in 2023?"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment
