PORTLAND, Ore. — The infectious enthusiasm came through his smile and voice. It always does for Hall-of-Fame center Bill Walton, who was a color analyst for the Warriors’ 123-117 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

“What a privilege and an honor,” Walton told Bay Area News Group. “Look, I don’t belong here.”

After all, Walton normally has served as a color analyst for the the Pac-12 basketball games. But Walton was asked to call the action with ESPN’s Dave Pasch, Doris Burke and Cassidy Hubbarth.
