Description
In this episode of CSN’s “The ‘86 Celtics Interviews” podcast, we have quite a treat for you. Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton only was a member of the Celtics for two seasons, but the passion in which he has always spoke about the franchise is unmatched. Walton, of course, was the star of the John Wooden UCLA teams that won a remarkable 88 games in a row, and two National Championships. Walton’s NBA career began in Portland, where he lead the Cinderella Trail Blazers to the 1977 NBA title. The injuries to Bill Walton then started to pile up. He played in only 57% of regular season games during his 10 year career. Walton’s career was rejuvenated upon being traded to Boston in the summer of 1985.
