I’m not sure I want to sell this so I put it on site for $200. It is Bill Walton’s day planner from 1993 which includes entries for his Hall of Fame Induction and Larry Birds retirement event where I met Bill for the one time.

Such a fun look at history.

This is the show that Bill brought most of the Boston Celtics to on his birthday in 1985. Danny Aingee looked horrified. Worcester shows were always fun. #BillWalton

"Walton retired from the NBA and turned to broadcasting, something he never thought he could be good at... because he had a pronounced stutter at times in his life."

#DanAnderson, formally of #USC, #EldridgeBroussard of #PacificUniversity, and #PhilLumpkin of #MiamiUniversity, all survived while four others were let go. #Blazers head coach #LennyWilkens liked how Anderson and Lumpkin "play the small guard role," adding he likes the energy that Broussard showed during the first three days of camp.
#Portland GM #StuInman denied that the Blazers were looking to sign 11-year veteran center #ZelmoBeatty, who was recently released by the #UtahStars of the #ABA. Wilkens was a teammate of Beatty's when the two played for the #StLouisHawks from 1962-68.
September 22, 1974 - Rookie #BillWalton, along with three others, survived the first cuts in the @trailblazers.bsky.social training camp.

The #Clippers are to send to the #Blazers forward #KermitWashington, center #KevinKunnert, and All-Star guard #RandySmith, as well as the #Clippers 1980 First Round pick. O'Brien did give the Clippers 48 hours to make an adjustment if they would like. Should the Clippers like to keep Smith, they would then have to send a 1982 First Round pick and $350K to #Portland. O'Brien cited the 1975 trade of #KareemAbdulJabbar from the #MilwaukeeBucks to the #LosAngelesLakers, who sent 4 players and $1M to #Milwaukee for a former #NBA #MVP, similar to Walton.
September 18, 1979 - @nba.com Commissioner #LarryOBrien announced the compensation package to the @trailblazers.bsky.social for the signing of #BillWalton in May by the #SanDiegoClippers.

In #SummerLeague play, the #Blazers/#Bucks combo team lost a close game vs the #Lakers.
"I'm not saying I'm a better player," said #MosesMalone of Walton, but he added, "I think we can fit in together." Malone played forward in the #ABA but feels more comfortable at center.
August 8, 1976 - Despite being listed as a center, one of the newest @trailblazers.bsky.social feels he can fit alongside fellow center #BillWalton.

#SportMagazine has given a car to the @NBA #Finals MVP since 1955 but Walton is the first to not attend the ceremony. Walton had asked fellow #Blazers teammate #MauriceLucas to accept the car on his behalf but he was unable to attend as well. Fellow #Portland teammates #CorkyCalhoun, #JohnnyDavis, and #HermGilliam flew to New York to represent him.
June 10, 1977 - @trailblazers.bsky.social center #BillWalton, who was named the #MVP of the 1977 #NBAFinals, missed the award ceremony as he had a "prior commitment."

The 30-minute operation was to remove a small piece of "loose cartilaginous material" through a small opening. He is expected to be in the hospital for a few days and, when released, will recover elsewhere in #Portland. The #Blazers say he will not receive calls or visitors at the hospital.
May 29, 1974 - A day after the @trailblazers.bsky.social officially selected him with the first pick in the @nba.com Draft, #BillWalton underwent minor knee surgery at #StVincentHospital.

This is the third time Walton has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a member of the #Blazers and the second time with #KareemAbdulJabbar. It is the only time #LarrySteele made the cover in his professional career.
The two #Portland newspapers, the #Oregonian and the #OregonJournal, each filled the their columns with Game 1 assessments, and the news that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has won his 5th #MVP award, with #Blazers center Walton finishing second.
In addition, both papers have ads highlighting KOIN 6 coverage of the team. #KOIN is the local affiliate of CBS which is covering the series, as well as the various #Blazersmania paraphernalia.
May 23, 1977 - The day after the Game 1 loss vs the #Philadelphia76ers in the @nba.com Finals, #BillWalton and #LarrySteele of the @trailblazers.bsky.social graced the cover of #SportsIllustrated.

Told my wife he's like #BillWalton . Most nights, you didn't know he was out there. When you needed him, he was bold, loud and on top of his game.
