there was a talk about our national treasure in the Illinois fan from some disgruntled losers who don't appreciate greatness, but I though he deserved his own thread.




Gotta love the shirt!


Here is an actual exchange from Walton and his usual partner Pasch from a game over the weekend:


Bill Walton: "Did you watch the Villanova game?"

Pasch: "Bill, for the second time, yes, we watched it together."



And another great exchange from a game the other night...


BW: Just stop playing (referring to Makai Mason’s chronic injuries). You’re going to need that leg for the rest of your life. That’s what I would advise him to do.
Roxy: You didn’t stop playing
BW: Well, I’m about the dumbest guy you’ve ever come across

Very next play (within about 10 seconds of his last statement) Makai Mason makes a running floater off the glass.

BW: Look at Mason! Wow! Fights off retirement rumors and just throws up floaters in the teeth of the defense... He limps off the court, comes back and starts hitting threes and runners... that’s John Stockton, that’s Steve Nash.
