Bill Walton's Long, Strange Trip Continues

NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7 -- Basketball Hall of Famer and ESPN and ABC lead NBA commentator Bill Walton will share the rarely seen side of his entertaining and unusual life in BILL WALTON'S LONG, STRANGE TRIP, a new television reality series produced by NBA Entertainment. The first two of seven 30-minute episodes will debut on ESPN on Sunday, Feb. 2 at 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET.
Cameras will follow Walton, one of sports' most unique and outspoken personalities, wherever he goes -- whether he's analyzing games, barging into players' locker rooms to offer his unsolicited advice, entertaining the biggest names in basketball and entertainment or spending time relaxing at home in his 16-foot high tee-pee. Viewers will get the ultimate "inside look" at Walton's uncommon life.

"I have been blessed with an extraordinary life," said Walton. "For years, I have been telling everyone I meet about my experiences and my passion for the game. Now, I get to share every aspect of my life with millions of fans all at once. It's like a big party. What could be better?"

Walton is one of the 50 greatest NBA players of all-time, is the proud father of his four sons, Adam, Nathan, Luke, and Christopher, and is a devoted Grateful Dead fan and honorary member of the band.

During last year's NBA Playoffs, Walton experienced his "ultimate dream" by attending 30 NBA playoff games in 30 nights through his "Love it Live" tour.

I was going to post this same thing. I realy think that this has a great chance of being hilarious. Walton has that same kind of ability to be funny that Ozzie has. I am really looking forward to watching this.

This is Bill Walton.

This is Bill Walton's brain on drugs.

Got Tee Pee?

Reality TV: Proof positive that there are things you just don't want to know.

Love him or hate him this has potential to be as entertaining as the Osbournes. Life in a tee-pee. Might make the Ozzie look more like Ozzie and Harriet.

Hmm... anyone think The Mantis will make a guest appearance at the TeePee?

Saw this Walton thread and thought I'd stick this here.

I'm watching the Boston-Hornets game and Robert 'Tractor' Traylor was shooting a ft and Brad Nessler (I think that's his name) asked Walton, "do you remember when the Bucks traded Nowitzki to Dallas for Traylor?"

Walton, just repeated the question and said, "yikes."

I think this is the only time Walton has made me laugh.
