I love reading your posts. In addition to what I learn, you never fail to bring human warmth and empathy into the subject, no matter the topic. And they are always so beautifully and well written.
Your friend Bill would be delighted – or maybe he is! – to have inspired you to write such a lovely reflection.
Go Bruins! I have a certificate in writing from UCLA Extension and since 1966 have been a Bruin! I was 10 then but I’m still a Bruin and a Grateful Dead head and a huge Bill Walton fan. BUT THERE’S ONLY 1 KAREEM!
Mr. Abdul-Jabbar. You are an amazing writer. This is coming from a UCLA grad who took UCLA Freshman English his last quarter to graduate ( 5.5 years after starting UCLA during the summer). I hate reading and writing. I am a self-diagnosed dyslexic. But, your writing style speaks to me. I am an admire of you as an athlete, but more as a writer. I do not read books, as it is hard for me, I watch films and television. I am a huge Laker fan. So for me to say more about your writing , than your sports achievements is something. You were slightly to early for me while you were UCLA, But Bill Walton has a profound effect as a player to me as a 12 years old. Thank you for the above kind words on Bill. I read maybe 5 books over the last five years, but one of them was "On the Shoulders of Giants". Thank you for writing... Todd Fraser UCLA '81
I can remember when Walton was still playing for UCLA.

Beautifully written. Thank you.
Beautiful friendship
The epitome of class, dedication and the brotherhood of spirit. A forever thank you for what this brotherhood brought both to the court and off it.
You made me cry… so happy for your friendship. p.s. I’ll bet Mr Walton became the way he was, was because he was a Deadhead😄

I adored Bill. He was so funny and smart and sweet, when he wanted to be. It’s such a loss.
Thank you. 😊
