As always, the real treat was listening to the color commentary by Bill Walton, his stories, anecdotes and insights into the game are entertaining. Having closely watched basketball for over 60 years, Bill is one of the best behind the microphones. I particularly enjoyed the exchange where he was espousing the beauty of the palo alto area, its connection to the Dead and other musicians, and then asked his partner (didn't catch who it was) if he's ever been "here" only to find out the guy lives there. I know some of these broadcast teams are just cobbled together and there is no real relationship between the 2, but you'd think even just in small talk before the game it would come up how far they travelled to get there or something. Dave Pasch was doing that game with Bill. That is his NORMAL partner!!!! www.si.com/extra-mustard/2022/01/14/bill-walton-dave-pasch-covid-rant
