Bill Walton Introduced Boston Garden, WILD STANDING OVATION

[Gregory-smpf]

This brings tears to my eyes for several reasons, this was back in 1985, had a lot of friends alive back then watching this that are now deceased, also my Mom and Dad were alive but are now both deceased also. The eighties were great for so many reasons and Bill Walton gave us a great year of Celtic basketball, RIP Big Red

He desrved it whether you believe it or not, bill gave it all he had and hurt every minute

A joy to watch him play basketball for the celtics

[pumb]

Could be ??? No no no that was THE best of all time

[gretchendietz]

He certainly lived up to the ovation. What a great team. So happy he was part of it. RIP, you will be greatly missed.

The perfect combination is when they added The Great Bill Walton to the Boston Celtics., Made the Greatest N.BA.team ever.AND Y'all know it

[christopherneyfeldt]

Uno de los más grandes de la historia...y dicen que aún era, fue, más grande como persona!!!.

I really wished bill would have played a longer time. even if it were against the team i rooted against.

I have a photograph I took in 1974 of Bill Walton coming out of the Portland locker room for the first time in Memorial Coliseum.

[arautus]

Walton was playing at about 75% of his full potential with the Celtics. Imagine if he was playing the way he did in his championship year with Portland?

[jjsfzr]

This was a one minute standing ovation for Walton. Seeing our version of the twin towers was simply awesome.

[MarvinMonroe]

"almost seemed destined" to play on the Celtics
Big white redhead, its true. It makes perfect sense

[bnegs]

It's a shame that in 87 when the Celtics were going for back to back Bill played 10 games or so

[audieconrad]

Not ["could be] the best team ever assembled...
THEE BEST EVER ASSEMBLED.

[davemartino]

Everyone keeps acting like bill Walton was some great HOF which he was but in the 1980s nobody wanted him due to his injuries Red took a chance on him and it worked out

[samualcrocket]

Bill is a little goofy but thank you for the NBA championship.
