I can’t express how much you, Bill Walton and Coach Wooden have influenced my life, a tiny little woman with a passing interest in basketball. Thanks for such a lovely appreciation.
Bill lived in my neighborhood in Cambridge MA during his Celtic days. I don’t remember having a conversation with him, but he had effortlessly made the place his own, riding around on his bike, doing his wash at the laundromat, and spreading good cheer. He had mastered the art of being outgoing and unassuming at the same time. It was wonderful having him as a Celtic, as wonderful as it was watching you and Dave Cowens battle for the NBA title a decade earlier. Kareem, thanks for being a treasure.
This is worth reading. Thank you for sharing some of your journey with us. I have aways admired and respected your character even though I am not an avid sports fan. I believe money has corrupted the sports world just like politics ect… I am looking forward forward to reading more of your writings.
I adored Bill. He was so funny and smart and sweet, when he wanted to be. It’s such a loss.
Thank you. 😊
Beautiful tribute to an incredible human being ⭐️♥️⭐️

Beautiful tribute
Moving story about 3 great men!
I watch the 4-7 year olds play basketball now. The coaches are compassionate and the kids build skills and knowledge of the game.
Last week my grandson, Ali, watched a 10 min video of Magic to Kareem. Basketball like life is about Us, not me.
I am impressed with the teepee.
Did you go to Dead shows with him?

Two total class acts in Mr Jabbar and Mr Walton. Let's hope the younger generation of NBA stars can achieve the same.
Just beautiful. Thank you. Much love.❤️
Thank You Sir
You and Bill were two of my favorite NBA and college players. So sorry about Bill.
I love basketball. Don Haskins was my high school basketball coach. Loved watching his teams. Still watch the NBA.
This was so beautiful. Thank you. It made me cry and also smile to remember Bill and his irrepressible goofiness
