Bill Walton was a hypocrite for being a pot head while he played but ripped the Trail Blazers as an announcer and called them out for smoking weed while others were saying the racist Jail Blazers stuff. Like all these other hate filled hippies, he can rest in piss.

That game absolutely blew me away.
He should have been a more respectable person when alive then.
I think overcoming that stutter circa age 28-30 unleashed a torrent he could not control and in fact relished. Some of it made sense, but most of it was drivel. Flip-flopping on pot--or anything except the Grateful Dead--was inevitable.

I actually see only one post here that is marked by hate. And please name those 'hate-filled hippies,' because most of us have no clue what you're talking about.

He was funny. Some people just hate that.

Most of us like funny, but don't always agree on what is and isn't. In my case, I just prefer commentators who can provide insights into the game being played. I didn't like Bobby Knight, but thought his insights were excellent. My favorite coach was Dean Smith, and I thought his color commentary (after he retired) was awful--and thankfully brief.
Probably not a lot of posters here were CLippers fans in the bad ole days when BW was color-commentator. He (and his straight man Ralph Lawler) made them tolerable. What 'insights' were to be had concerning that team? ('You know, the Kandy Man is more effective dunking the ball than attempting a 10-foot jump shot'?)

True.
That's why Dennis Miller didn't last on Monday Night Football...
Consider the source and move on. Just mvp doing mvp things.
The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough
I wasn't referring to any hippies on here as there are none.
I think Walton was a likable sort of guy. I remember when Notre Dame ended UCLA's 88 game winning streak, Walton left the arena whistling the Irish fight song. He was not exactly devastated by it all.
Old school is good school.
A hippie is a life form that once was but no longer exists as we knew it. Try as they might, it just ain't coming back. Lots of fakes out there though. Most of us jut sort of grew up or maybe we just grew old.
Maybe we grew up, but definitely got older. My forehead definitely grew higher, though nothing grew inside it. Still prefer classic rock.
Wonder if those who hip-hopped through rap will someday sit in rocking chairs, whispering words that shook cars waiting for lights to change.
