Bill controlling the back board… RIP 🪦 BIG RED - The Biggest Dead Head

We’ll said I cry by the wY😅

This is classic. I also don't like to talk about my time in the CIA, by the way. Best not to go spreading it around.

THEY WERE UNSELFISH , (PERHAPS THEIR BEST DEFINING QUALITY) . WOODEN SHOVELED COW POOP AT NIGHT TO SUPPLEMENT HIS MEAQGER U.C.L.A. SALARY AT THE TIME WHEN IT WAS A POOR SCHOOL .(HE COULD HAVE ACCEPTED A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT WITH THE LAKERS BUT INSTEAD DID WHAT HE WANTED TO DO ) . WALTON , WHO AT PORTLAND HAD THE ENTIRE ADVERTISING INDUSTRY IN THE NATION ENCROACHING ON HIS FAME , & DID MORE TO PROMOTE THE GAME , A ZILLION TIMES MORE THAN PETE MARAVICH DID YET MARAVICH WAS WHY ALL TH E NBA SALARIES WERE RAISED.--BILL WQALTON ONLY HAD $20 MILLION . EVEN MICHEAL JORDAN HAS BILLIONS . IF I WERE TO ACCEPT #21 BILLION I WOULD LEAVE IT TOALL OF MY WIVES & CHILDREN AS A FAITHFUL POLYGAMIST . WHEN YOU CAN JUSTIFY A $TRILLION FROM THIIS IGNORANT CESSPOOL OF A 'NATION & IT'S 'MASSIVE' DEGRADATIONAL CONSPIRACY , HAVE THE MATURITY TO ACCEP-T &21 BILLION INSTEAD . THE WORLD COULD NOT SUSTAIN ANOTHER PIG SHIT BIG MONEY ANY MORE . BUT , ALSO DISTRIBUTE IT TO Y9U WIVES & CHILDREN BEFORE YOU DIE . DO THIS MYSELF RATHER THAN LIE ABOUT DOING IT JUST TO PRETEND TO BE POPULAR FOR THE FALSE PROMISE SO ONE CAN ROB THE PEOPLE EVEN MORE .......

This is how you get respect. Are you listening history?

to this day 56 years later. that Olympic record is still standing.

Just when you thought the Griswolds would finally have their big day at Wally World… 1:28 Fate dropped that *bomb* on them. A road trip from the Windy City (Chicago) to the City of Angels (L. A.), a family fun plan concocted by Clark, a few mishaps and accidents, a sudden death in Ellen’s family, and yet, when they finally made it, the powers that be just up and decided to close the park for a couple of weeks for maintenance. Everything was all for absolutely naught (aka nothing).

0:35 Vangelis - “Chariots of Fire” (from the 1981 film of the same name)

I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and have a catch with my 6 year old daughter.

Iconic.

Not quite up there with the women’s 800m record, but definitely up there with Flo Jo’s records as among the most dubious going. Didn’t get close to this again after the anti doping regulations were tightened. Did you know that 50% of the winners at the 1988 olympics would have still won in the 2008 olympics 20 years later? All track and field performance suddenly hit a wall after they brought in stricter measures.

“Fucking A right he owes us!”

Well now we know where the original hard knocks came from. Even the walk off to the slow Country music.

And that, boys and girls, is one of the greatest endings in all of cinema

No captions?

1:44 if you are a 13th player on a 12-man team, you can worry about a coach keeping you on a bench. If you are a star, call the bluff. The coach needs you to win so will not bench you for long.

Nonsense. They could have had worn their hair however they liked. Never be afraid to tell delusional people no.

Greatest last 45 minutes ever in a movie.

This story reminds me of Mr. Burns and Don Mattingly: czcams.com/video/gjHOtxCRhnw/video.html

If you havent made it this far in the Wolfs TAG GAME YET.... just breathe!!! If you have your probably wondering whos the joker that thought of that dum game??? no wonder we all locked up now in the hospital!!! 😂😂😂😂

At the height of my athletic prowess I might have been able to leap 10 feet.

Everyone is making one big mistake... it was LYNDON JOHNSON'S WAR, NOT NIXONS WAR. People have their heads buried in the sand about this little fact. LBJ started /escalated this war to line his pockets with corrupt financial payments from the military industrial complex which Gen. Eisenhower warned us about . LBJ and his naive Secretary of Defense Robt. McNamara caused so much pain and misery for the American people . McNamara wrote a book before his death in which he apologized to the families of the brave men and women of our military. The corrupt LBJ never apologized !!!!!!

Considering how things fell apart later, including diabetes: Steroid jump?😉

Def one of the best series of movies that exist. Wow

John Wooden cared about hair cuts? What about Sam Gilbert payments?

Jokic is about 25% as athletic as young Bill. For those who dare to compare. But then only Wilt and Hakeem were, who can possibly match his overall skill and size.

I’m a man and I always cry at this movie and Rudy lol

Wow I had no idea about this story My god what an absolutely beautiful life Made it against all odds

Como quisiera ver esta película pero donde 😢😢😢

Wooden had the lucky penny routine in which he would pretend to find a lucky penny in the locker. Bill knew it was coming so he hid it, and had a good laugh watching Coach search for the missing penny. Don't know when Coach Wooden found out it was Bill who hid the penny.

Bill was not allowed to dunk.

❤

Basketball reigns supreme. F'ball is too brutal. Still, they try to pretend it's harmless. Baseball ... what to say? Tennis? Very, very cool ... 2nd to hoops. I was a swimmer introduced to basketball. What a delight for as long as I could go. Still, love watching the game. It's James Naismith's accidental gift to history, invented to keep football players running after their season ended. Nope ... became the leading game in the world and puttin' the others to shame.

My favorite Coach Wooden story is how he would lecture his players on how to tie their shoes. Seems nuts but you can't argue with his results.

I attennded Wash. State Univ. ...70-72 and was on the broadcast crew for KWSU TV / PBS. We were allowed to take the coaching classes that were usually closed to only P.E. majors and athletes. The black guy in the video about the haircut (he's bald now) but in the picture he talks about his "fro." That's Sydney Wicks. In our WSU coaching class, Coach Marv Harshman told us that with most players, if you get hit, you hit back. He said with Wicks, he hits you, then you hit him back, then he hits you back twice. My one in person experience w/ Bill Walton was before a telecast game at WSU, I was on the court before UCLA entered the gym. They were fist bumping and high fiving, and you could just sense how confident and athletic they were. I was such a little twerp that I felt totally insignificant in their presence.....I felt kind of foolish; here I was a kid sportscaster, and these guy are really the ones who are stars.

No one has said “have a catch” in the history of the world. Everyone says “play catch”.

Love the IQ type of players. He was a great one.

I took my father to watch a fall game at the SkyDome to see the Jays vs Red Sox, when I was 13. Jays won, and it was a magical night, sort of like this moment. Been spending time with Pops in my 40s, and this scene comes to mind when I do. Happy Father's Day, past and present.

Thanks for turning on the lights, Chanice Kobolowski

Just a great film on all levels

I use my favorite Coach Wooden quote on my kids when they complain about studying for exams and on my co-workers when getting reading to present to our CEO: "Failing to prepare is preparing for failure."

harmonic convergence of the highest order

In the United States we have now truly arrived at a real intersection of good versus evil. If there was ever a time in the existence of mankind to consider Jesus Christ's Gospel of Salvation, it is NOW.

I grew up in the Deep South in the 1960s at what was the the very end of segregation when the SEC schools in the south were resisting attempts to integrate, even their sports programs, so watching UCLA with its mixed race basketball teams win championships repeatedly under Coach Wooden showed me and the world how successful inclusion can be.

Fun fact : hitler was in one of his races and said that germans is more superior then every human and jesse owens proved him wrong and when jesse owens won some people say hitler gave him a handshake

Beautiful

wow wow wow ooooo wow

In 1972 at UCLA, we students demonstrated against Nixon’s Vietnam War by first occupying the Franklin Murphy Administration Building and then had a mass sit-down demonstration at the intersection of Wilshire and Veteran. Bill Walton was always there standing up for what he believed in. Thank you BW.

It took me a while to realize that he ment Rays pain, because his dad died before he could apologize for the hurtful things he said

Walton’s interview of Wooden a year or two before he died was awesome. Someone should post that one!
