Bill Walton quotes John Wooden in hot tub before game
Bill Walton is a gem of a sportscaster. He doesn't take himself too seriously, offers unparalleled analysis and wanders onto excellent tangents on air.
So how does he prep for his unique broadcasts? He shares inspirational John Wooden quotes while relaxing in a hot tub - or at least, that's what he did before Thursday's UCLA-Utah game.
Oh, but there's more. Walton "played" an interesting version of one-on-one against a giant photo of Russell Westbrook.
He also gave a shout-out to Alexander Hamilton because it was his birthday, requested a favor from Edward Snowden, tried to convince Dave Pasch to take a bite of a piece of coal, showed off a cut on his arm from getting "taken down by a dog the other day on (his) bike" and briefly fought with UCLA's mascot.
