Throw It Down, Big Man: Bill Walton And The People We Want To See Him Fight

A couple of weeks earlier, during the enshrinement of Hall of Famer Arvydas Sabonis, Bill Walton recalled a little mishap between Sabonis and then up-and-coming star Rasheed Wallace. Rasheed allegedly threw a towel at Sabonis, prompting Mr. Walton to say that he "should've punched Rasheed Wallace in the face." 

He later described it as "one of the lowest points of his life." Ok...Really?

Anyway, he's known for his funny color commentary, and sometimes random remarks. Now don't get me wrong, I love the guy and he's great for the game of basketball, but I think it would be awesome to see him lace it up and "throw it down" with some of these people in the NBA.

Rasheed Wallace

Aw, come on. Who wouldn't want to watch the most hot headed player in the league duke it out against the mellow Walton. Besides, Bill was the one who challenged 'Sheed. I'm pretty sure 'Sheed will give him one of his stare downs, then happily accept his challenge.

A stare down so menacing, it gave him a technical.

Shaquille O'Neal

After Shaq was traded from the Miami Heat to the Phoenix Suns, Walton put him on blast and told the whole basketball world that he was done. Shaq, never taking criticism lightly, told Walton to know your place in the "pecking order" of big men. Watching Shaq and Walton fight in their prime would be awesome. 

Greg Oden and Sam Bowie Cage Match

If you don't know who Sam Bowie is, here is his wikipedia page. In short, he was the guy that the Blazers drafted ahead of Michael Jordan. Sadly, Greg Oden is reminiscent of Bowie, an injury-riddled player that was drafted ahead of Kevin Durant. 

It would be entertaining to see these three injury-prone players duke it out in a cage match and see which one tears their ACL first.

Bill Walton wrote this book because he spent most of his time on the stationary bike then on the court.

Unfortunately, this is just a fantasy. We don't really want to see this guy fight, right? I would rather just chill with him, roll up a fat one, and listen to music as he rants about "seeing colors" and saying how Detlef Shrempf was one of the best in the world. You make the basketball world a better place, Mr. Walton!
