Bill Walton Out For Season

Just as he did many times throughout his playing days, everyone's favorite ginger is out for the rest of post season basketball with a severe back injury. His son Luke left us some commentary...
"There was a period where he would get up at 5 in the morning, roll over on the floor, and stay there the rest of the day," Walton says. "He couldn't do anything. I felt so bad for him."
I also feel bad for Mr. Walton and his presence will be missed during the NBA finals. His soliloquies on Brian Shaw's greatness and discussions with John Wooden or The Greatful Dead will be absent from my ears and it saddens me greatly. Here is a sample of some of the brilliance that will be missed...

"Way back when, I was a sophomore in college at UCLA when a truly remarkable aggregation of professional talent actually exceeded the hype and hope of a world searching desperately for authenticity."

I miss Bill too, it's hard to think of in pain, but harder to hear him stutter through that boris diaw oration.

Do we have to make emitt smith come out of retirment or put onions and sauce on mike's burrito to make him participate on this blog?!
he is going to get his own post soon if he fails to contribute to this...
