Imagine Walton with a good pair of feet.

The only player to win an MVP, Finals MVP, and 6th Man award…

I haven't been hurt by a celebrity death like this in all my days. Fuck his basketball career, I didn't see it, I was born in 86, but I still grew up with him and my dad helped me understand. The dude was Human 2.0, and we should all aspire to be curious, respectful, well-read, kind, wacky, humble, selfless, and against the grain. Everything he was. We've lost a tall, redheaded chunk of the best this world can offer.

Might have had to do with him being a vegetarian. He was always breaking bones
-
Our freshman year row boat coach was a former Olympian in the US Men's 8 in Seoul, Korea. He was generally a pussy, vegetarian but had to revert to eating meat to make the Olympic squad. It's incredibly difficult to be an elite athlete in a high calorie burning sport without eating animals.

The Throbber tried listening to the Grateful Dead yesterday to honor champion of the Conference of Champions
I’ll try again today but it’s just not my jam.Sorry, Bill. Tried throwing it down with authority. Touched the net instead.

Herschel Walker might be the only one

I saw an interview a year or two ago with John Salley. He was mocking people who ate meat and said being vegan was the only way to go. But throughout the interview, his eyes were watering heavily like his body was reacting badly to all the plant toxins he ingests.

I will rephrase my disdain for Walton.
Couldn't stand him as a player. On Moh's scale, he was softer than talc it seemed, always injured and almost never on the court. Walton's announcing never got to me, I liked the enthusiasm.
I liked Swen Nater! Except for every time you opened a pack of basketball cards, you would get at least one Swen Nater. aka The Len Sakata of '81 Topps baseball set.

I'm pretty sure it was Mike Hargrove that was in every pack of 1981 Topps cards. I used to have a separate rubber banded stack just for him IIRC.
