Bill Walton is...what exactly is Walton? Has anyone nailed that down?
He’s a legitimate basketball great, a guy who could hold his own against any big man of any era - as long as his body held up, anyway, which was never all that long.
He’s a Deadhead, a dad, a proud product of John Wooden’s UCLA. And he’s also a broadcaster, which is....interesting.
Walton is prone to go off on great flights of fancy. He can talk about anything from The Dead to trail mix to the wonders of the natural world. His broadcast partners are usually just along for the ride more or less.
