Posted November 5, 20213 yr Moderator I know there are some of us who saw this Bill Walton But for many, Bill is now Basketball Announcer Extraordinaire, Ambassador of "The Conference Of Champions!"
November 5, 20213 yr Moderator PUP! I recall watching Bill play at UCLA when you were not allowed to dunk the ball. Before the 3 point shot.

I would not miss it at all. About 70% of the shots attempted now are 3's. It really takes the artistry out of basketball.

Watching Wooden twist the program he always held in his hands. It's impossible to describe what a Kamikaze Kids game was like. Loud? Like you couldn't hear the person next to you, Chicago and '25 or 6 to 4" The Lone Ranger. "Deranged Idiots" wasn't until later, coined by Gene Barto, who was the genius to follow Wooden. Gerald Willett, Mark Barwig, Bruce Coldren. Hero Ducks forever!!!
