- January 12, 1994 For almost twenty years Bill Walton did it all on the basketball court. From his great college days at UCLA to his championship years in the NBA. But it appears Walton has scored a few slam dunks off the court as well--namely his four sons. News 8's Hank Bauer with photojournalist Charlie Landon, has more on the Walton family's starting five--Adam, Luke, Nathan, and Christopher.
Rest in peace Bill Walton ❤
I miss him
Bill will be missed
Bill Walton is the absolute man. If he was born 30 years later, he would have had a massive career in the NBA and would be destroying it right now in the PODcast space. He had game and personality. Very lucrative combination.
Today surgeons could have probably corrected his congenital deformed feet which were the cause of his constant foot fractures. Back in those days they didn't really know how to correct the foot problems he had other than fuse the bones.
I think Walton would have had success in any time period but i think him growing up in the sixties and becoming a star in the 70s was the best perfect fit for him and his personality. Despite the injuries he still had a pretty impressive career in college and the nba.
It's crazy to think that such a charismatic guy was intensely shy and soft-spoken at one point. He worked hard to develop that part of his "game," too, so to speak.
What a childhood these boys must’ve had
Met Bill way back, I'm 75 so must have met him when he was 17, 18. Had the biggest bycicle I've ever seen, nice guy, Wasn't too much into sports, just a big guy I'd see at the smoothy stand on coast hwy between Carona del Mar and Laguna Beach. Old camper behind were people hung out. See ya soon Bill
nice fish
Thanks for sharing that Sir, keep well.

RIP Bill. Missed forever.
Imagine having a Pops like Big Bill. RIP.
30 years ago.. time goes fast.. love to see Bill spending what I’m sure he thought were the best times of his life. RIP LEGEND!!
RIP Bill Walton. The fact that 1994 was 30 years; three 3️⃣ decades ago, is insane. Where has the time gone to?
Time waits for no one homie!😊
Amen to that! I graduated from high school in 94. 48 years old now.
It slipped into the future.
Yep, it flies! Live your life every day to the fullest, and experience as much as you can. Life on earth is short.
@@themapmaker5374 for sure!👍🏼
Bill Walton. One of a kind. Special individual. Rest In Peace.
Watching him being a dad is the best video of all.
Great to see Bill moving fairly well here. I know he didn’t have nearly as many pain free days as we all wished for him
RIP legend.
When kids are involved . . . every relative knows . . . you play with them NOW --- and deal with the pain later!
#becausetomorrowmaynevercome
Class of '94 here. Time flies! RIP, bro
Thank you! God bless
Surprised only Luke made the nba they’re some big boys
For real I didn't even know he had other boys
Limited film but Luke was the most coordinated of the group.
I could tell off the bat that Luke would be the nba player he did a 360 dunk while the other brother barely got off that ground lol😂 RIP BILL
Luke had the best highlights here 😂. He was the one
Watched this the first time completely forgot about Luke and thought that hook shot looked nasty, Came back to see if Luke was on this.
This made my day. Unfortunately, I had to watch it when I realized that bill passed away today. What a great group of guys. I know his boys will continue to make him proud. Rest in peace Bill. You were amazing beyond recognition. We love you❤
I had the biggest smile while watching this.
I used to run ball with Bill's oldest son Adam in the early 2000s. A very polite and humble young man with a soft shot, even at deep range. He usually took it easy on us. I also used to see Bill in the stands at Grateful Dead shows or riding his bike around the parking lot.
RIP Bill.
"Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock your soul."
Igh cant believe made this far to say RIP Bill Walton
RIP Mr Walton I can't believe he's gone this was a true NBA GOAT in my basketball book
Absolutely loved this video Bill playing ball with his sons!
Man what a legend Rest easy Big Bill
RIP Champ! ❤ the times you shared with us basketball fans will always be remembered and valued!
Essence of sports, having fun and compete.
Love it! RIP Bill♥♥
My condolences to his family and friends.
Great video and rest in peace 🙏 🪦 Bill Walton
He must have been a great Dad too. RIP Bill Walton. 😢
Great clip. Thanks and RIP Big Red.
A great person, basketball player, and personality. Deeply deeply missed. RIP Bill
Lollll, thats cool, family fun with basketballl, a father & his boys enjoying some laughs & a lil trash talking....wonderful memories.
90s culture was so wholesome. Glad I grew up in that time
Crazy to see how Luke is the smoothest, most coordinated, and coolest out of the group and what do you know he is the one that made it all the way, crazy how genetics work
RIP, forever loved and missed in Boston. You were much more than a basketball player.
Saw Bill and his two sons watching pick up games in the mid-80s in Manhattan Beach, CA at Marine Ave Park (if memory serves). Just watching, not playing. He was pointing things out to his sona that players were doing. Also saw Howie long, Danny Schayes and Dave Wohl play there. Played against Schayes and Long in full court pick up games. Bill was in instruction mode with his sons, then much younger than in this video. A great dad.
Dam he was still taking it to those youngins
Incredible person. Beautiful center. 🏀
Great vid. Looks like they had so much fun for years out there.
Condolences to the Walton family, friends, teammates and all of us that admired Bill from afar. RIP Legend!
Sweet video! May he R.I.P. !
Love his fist pump at the end. RIP big guy.
This video is awesome!!! So fun to see Bill Walton & his sons play some friendly b'ball in the backyard with some bragging rights at stake!
I had no idea Bill was still capable of moving like this by 1994, I was under the impression he was completely incapable of playing after the NBA due to his feet. This is awesome to see. Hard to believe I'm almost already the age he is here. I was about 100 days old when Bill played his final NBA game with the Celtics. Life goes quick.
This is priceless, Bill Walton was a super person. 🙏
RIP Bill. Pain free at last.
Man lived the life God bless you
0:39 veteran move by Bill 😂
0:41 look how he's able to stay low and keep his stance
R.I P. YOUR A LEGEND thanks for the memories ❤❤
Looks to me like a proud dad and a very entertaining guy. He will be missed.
Nice to see father and sons together...
Great footage and story by Hank. Still can’t believe Bill is gone…RIP
S wonderful, I enjoyed seeing this. RIP Bill.
I played BB with my dad too. 💔
Man Bill Walton was so kool R.I.P.🙏🏾
never a fan of him not of any reason but always appreciated his demeanor and likeability as an announcer/commentator. RIP BIll.
One of the greatest college players ever.Put some respect on his name!An NBA champion.
@@ralphgreenwood2469 Yeah, I said , I was never a fan meaning I didn't follow his career. Meaning I was too young. Only knew him though his commentator role. I did put respect on him. I complimented him on something other the what he did with a basketball.
@@truvintage5800 You didn't really save yourself with those excuses buddy. Try a bit harder to respect the greats of the sport next time!
@@martinhollings well then you don't understand English or the context of my comment. That's your problem not mine.
@@truvintage5800 I'm more English than you'll ever be. Your problem is your attitude towards those that are no longer with us, he was one of the greats with ball in hand and you can't acknowledge that.
rip Bill I would laugh every now and then from your commentary for Buffs games
So much love right there.
R.I.P. Bill Walton.
Rip
House by Balboa Park San Diego where Bill rides bike and tries to deal with the homeless issue!
I lived there for 6 months
Myrtle way
@@Shabnation Nice area until the Homeless started over taking the entire Park Area which Bill went after Todd Gloria about his failed policies!
@@thomasgentry6201 ya that was an awesome speech by bill about the mayor and the homelessness
Rip bill, great on and off the court 🙏❤️💐
Bill and Jordan were my all time favs.
Rest in Paradise legend
Rest In Peace Mr. Bill Walton🙏🙏🙏
Luke only one to have a successful NBA career? He had a great teacher. R.i.P. Legend 😢
The big red head always glad to be along on the ride during your time announcing ballgames ty rip
I never met Bill Walton but after everything I read or saw about him I came to the conclusion he was a legit good guy (and to this day one of my favorite players).He was skilled and dominant
Great Dad, Rest in Peace.
RIP BILL WALTON. Celtics LEGEND.
beautiful
Rest in peace Mr . Walton
One of a kind! Rest easy big guy!
RIP Bill. Look at how young Luke was! Now he is a coach in the nba after a successful career
Wow such a great dad. RIP!
Much love to the Walton family and friends at this most difficult time. What a long strange trip it’s been!
LOVE THIS! RIP BIG FELLA!
*A decade later, one of them becomes joins an NBA team.*
It was great having him on the Celtics winning sweet 16 in 86,, he was so good off the bench, the best player to come off the bench as the 6th man since Kevin McHale and he was so good he won the NBA's 6th man award, thank you Bill for sweet 16,, you'll be missed, RIP Big Red, 🥲
Rest in peace Bill Walton
Throw it down big fella 💯 RIP Bill
Rest In Peace Bill Walton thinking about you
Man, Im sad this dude is gone.
Man enjoy ur parents they dont last forever..wow beautiful moment there
RIP Bill - you will be missed
RIP to the legend, Bill Walton.
Bless their hearts
Bill was always a class act. Even though I often disagreed with his politics, he was a great and caring person. I’m glad he was a San Diegan.
Memories his kids will hold a lifetime
Ive been out there too. We met Bill's uncle in Ray's Tennis shop and he invited me and my roommate to play tennis in the mid 80s. They have a pool and tennis court back there too somewhere.
May Bill Walton rest in peace.
RIP Legend Bill Walton 🙏🕊
Makes me miss getting the smack down from my own pops lol. Unfortunately he can no longer move how he used to. Still respected by yours truly ❤
Imagine being blocked out by your dad except your dad is Bill Walton lol
That was GREAT
RIP San Diego legend!!!
Love you big guy throw it down
nothing like having brothers, love it
Rest in peace Mr Walton!
Rest Well Bill
Bill must have been around 42 here. Still in good basketball shape, not too far removed from his playing days.His sons can't handle him.
Rest in peace Legend.
Lindos momentos,gran persona
Cool clip
