Sports at Lunch, Dick Enberg and Bill Walton
Television broadcaster Dick Enberg spoke about his career and his new book on Dec. 14 at the San Diego Hall of Champions Sports at Lunch Speaker Series. Bill Walton served as the moderator for the discussion. We’ve welcomed Dick Enberg into our homes, through the magic of sports on television, for so many years. Those who are new to San Diego first knew him as central to a national broadcast team with Al Maguire and Billy Packer, the network triumvirate that elevated college basketball to a screen separate from the pro game. Those who grew up in San Diego, or migrated here long before the masses arrived, knew Enberg from following Southern California sports when he served as the voice the Los Angeles Rams, the California Angels and the UCLA Bruins.

      Bill Walton on Rasheed Wallace
      Whooo, the big redhead rips Rasheed Wallace on ESPN.com . Some gems: And over time the proud people of Portland and Oregon have built one of the strongest pillars of the NBA: The Trail Blazers. Sadly, this magnificent franchise today stands on the edge of ruin because of the regular and ongoing cruelty and hateful, irresponsible actions of Rasheed Wallace. How can we let this happen? The Trail Blazers and the good people of Oregon are entitled to more. And finally he concludes with: Ouch. I am not nearly as critical of Wallace as Walton is, but Walton actually knows master of hyperbole Fans may all have different reasons, but in the end they agree on this, and the organization knows it too: the Blazers should get rid of Rasheed Wallace as soon as possible.

5 Questions for Bill Walton
Bill Walton (r.) with ASA Hall of Famer and legendary Los Angeles Lakers broadcaster the late Chick Hearn
Recently, the New York Post's Andrew Marchand spoke with ASA Advisory Board member and ABC/ESPN sportscaster Bill Walton. Walton, 52, is in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Q: Do you think there is a chance Phil Jackson will be the Knicks' coach next year?
A: Absolutely. I think that is the most reasonable spot for him. This is the one place where he stands the most to gain on all fronts. He has already done Chicago. He has already done LA. Not only does this present the ultimate challenge for Phil Jackson, this is what the Knicks nee as well. Q: The feeling is that he wants to go someplace where he can win right away. You are not going to win with the Knicks right away, are you? A: Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen had not won until Phil got there to Chicago. Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant had not won until Phil got to LA. I'm the biggest believer in the ability of master teachers to be able to complete their masterpieces, and while in the past Phil has done one thing, why does that predict what he will do next time? The lore and the opportunity to succeed in New York is very addicting. Q: Do you think he and Isiah Thomas could coexist A: That is up to Phil Jackson. Historically, it has shown that has not worked. Phil and

You might say that the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame settled the question when it enshrined Walton on May 10, 1993. As Walton points out in his new autobiography, NOTHING BUT NET, co-written with Gene Wojciechowski, "Of all the thousands of players who have worn an NBA uniform, fewer than 60 have made it into the Hall of Fame." But, as Walton himself acknowledges in the next sentence, it is a little more complicated than that. " [W]hile it is true that I averaged only 33 games and 13.3 points during my fourteen-year professional career, nobody cherished playing ball more than I did." When Walton was fully healthy, he was one of the greatest ever; but he wasn't healthy much. Where, then, does he stand in the basketball pantheon? NOTHING BUT NET offers one answer at page 206. "I learned a lot from the books I've read on the history of basketball," Walton observes. "The best were Wilt Chamberlain's WILTJUST LIKE ANY OTHER 7-FOOT BLACK MILLIONAIRE WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR, Bill Russell's SECOND WIND, and Jabbar's KAREEM. But no book had a greater effect on the way that I approached the game of basketball than Russell's GO UP FOR GLORY. I still have my first paperback copy of that book. The book had a profound effect on the way I approached the game and my life. ... I wanted to be just like Russell. He believed that you measured a player's success by the number of championships you won." By that standard, Walton, who won championships in high school, college, and the NBA, clearly deserves to stand in Russell's company at Hoops Valhalla; there may never have been a better college center. But what about NOTHING BUT NET as a book? Does it belong on the same shelf as GO UP FOR GLORY? When you read this book, you get the impression that Walton had harsh standards for himself. Those harsh standards explain some of Walton's more puzzling moments, like the time he gratuitously bashed the Michigan Wolverine Fab Five as "underachievers", or the times, in his early years in the NBA, that he called up the Portland Trail Blazer team owner in the night and told him he was quitting. "'I hate this,' I would say. "'I hate everything about this. This is terrible. I can't do it anymore. I quit.' Then I'd hang up the phone, toss and turn the rest of the night, unable to sleep. By daybreak, I'd call him back and rescind the previous evening's announcement." Walton continues: "One day it finally dawned on me that I wasn't the one with the problem. It was them. My teammates didn't share my love, passion, and commitment for the game. ... I stopped making those nighttime retirement calls to the owner and concentrated on changing the existing order of the Trail Blazers." If that story leaves you with a feeling that there's just a little bit missingfor example, why was Walton so critical of himself that he felt impelled to make the nighttime quitting calls in the first placeyou're right. That's the failing in this book. It does not tell you enough about Bill Walton as a man. Where GO UP FOR GLORY seethes with Bill Russell's resentment at racism, NOTHING BUT NET merely simmers, because Walton leaves out the most important stuff about what makes him tick as a person. We learn almost nothing about his parents, his wife Lori, or his four sons. Another example that illustrates why Walton is not a Hall of Famer as a writer is that he mentions that he attended Stanford Law School for two years, but never says anything more, and never explains why he didn't finish. Compare that to Scott Turow, an occasional All-Star of a writer, who parlayed just one year at Harvard into his perennial best-seller ONE-L. Walton performs better when it comes to writing about basketballespecially in his portrayal of John Wooden's greatnessbut there are still some irritating omissions. For example, Walton gives very short shrift to the Trail Blazer championship in 1977, without which he would not be in the Hall of Fame, and completely skips over the years from 1977 to 1984. He gives a lot more attention to the 1986 season, where he was only a sub to the best frontcourt in basketball history, Bird, McHale, and Parish. Was he even the best sixth man in basketball history? It's hard to say he was better than John Havlicek. ("HAVLICEK STOLE THE BALL! HAVLICEK STOLE THE BALL!") Paradoxically, though, Walton is a better writer when he talks about those 1986 Celtics. In particular, the chapter on Larry Bird conveys Bird's greatness better than any other basketball book I have read. And when Walton talks about his basketball "Dream Team," he's completely convincing. The 1992 Olympic Dream Time "was a nice collection of players, but an All-Time Dream Time lineup would require quite a few roster changes. For instance, Christian Laettner . . . gone." What finally resolved NOTHING BUT NET's status on my basketball bookshelf was not Walton's mixed prowess as a writer, but a photograph, just preceding page 147, of Walton; Bill Russell; Shaquille O'Neal; Wilt Chamberlain; and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, gathered round a seated John Wooden. (The caption reads: "Wilt asked, 'Okay, Coach Wooden, we're all here, now who gets to start?' Wooden's immediate response: "Well, is there anyone here who won three NCAA championships?'" ) When you look at the photograph, you notice that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a good three inches taller than Wilt, and that Shaquille O'Neal is very, very, very strong. But the most interesting thing about the photograph is that when you look at it, you realize that Bill Walton belongs there.

William Theodore Walton, III (Bill) was born on November 5th, 1952, in San Diego, California. He was introduced to the game of basketball while in the fourth grade at Blessed Sacrament Elementary School by coach Frank "Rocky" Graciano. Bill Walton then attended Helix High School, where the basketball coach was Gordon Nash. At Helix, his team won the California Interscholastic Federation High School title two years in a row, while winning their final 49 consecutive games. Walton enrolled at UCLA in 1970. He played center for John Wooden's Varsity team for three seasons (1972-1974), after a year with the freshman team in 1971. He was a member of two NCAA championship teams compiling an NCAA record 88 consecutive game winning streak.

By: Lisette Hilton
Source: ESPN Classic "One of the saddest days for Coach Wooden was the day he came down and had to bail me out of jail after I got arrested in the anti-Vietnam protest. He said, 'Bill, I know you feel very strongly about this, but I just don't think that you getting arrested and taking part in this demonstration is what it's all about," says Bill Walton on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series. Before the injuries hampered his professional career, Bill Walton dominated college basketball.
At UCLA in the early '70s, the 6-foot-11, 235-pound center was the linchpin of the Bruins winning an NCAA record 88 consecutive games. Walton didn't just play basketball; he understood the soul of the game. He learned about competition early, beginning at Blessed Sacrament Elementary School in La Mesa, a suburb of San Diego. A shy and nervous seventh grader who stuttered, Walton was in no hurry to leave the restroom before the tip-off of a local Catholic league championship game.

Basketball legend Walton scores with UGF audience
By PETER JOHNSON
Tribune Staff Writer
TRIBUNE PHOTO BY STUART S. WHITE Basketball legend Bill Walton recalls highlights of his career in a talk at the University of Great Falls Saturday.
From playfully swiping legendary UCLA coach John Wooden's lucky penny to challenging Celtic great Kevin McHale to a trash-talking 1-on-1 tilt, Bill Walton has led a rambunctious and, it turns out, inspiring life. Now a fiery and opinionated NBA broadcaster, the Big Redhead regaled a private audience of 100 Saturday at the University of Great Falls with a nearly three-hour talk chock full of humor, motivation and anecdotes. "Next question, as we drive the hordes away," Walton quipped as somebody headed for the bathroom 2Þ hours into his talk.
