Bill Walton sat down with Mark Medina of the OC Register for a lengthy interview entailing everything from his playing days in Portland, to recovery, to Maurice Lucas and more. The interview wandered (in a good way) around like a Walton telecast, but did feature an interesting tidbit regarding the Los Angeles Lakers.
According to Walton, the Blazers hold the Lakers in a special light. The sentiment probably isn’t mutual, given how many teams feel this way about the Lakers, but it is interesting to hear it from arguably Portland’s greatest player.
