Bill Walton San Quotations

I grew up in San Diego in a non-athletic environment. My parents were not interested in sports. Their loves were art, literature and music. I gravitated towards sports because of my older brother Bruce and the first coach I ever had, who, like John Wooden, made it fun and really emphasized the joy of playing the team game.

Just play whoever's there and go beat 'em. If San Antonio stumbles, for whatever reason, that's when you have to pounce. You don't ever want to plan your success on the failure of others. But you're more than willing to take advantage of that.

They can beat San Antonio. There's nothing wrong with the Mavericks.

Head-to-head and everything being equal, San Antonio is still the better team. But San Antonio has never been able to repeat as champions because injuries have always been a factor. They win their championships after they have a short season the year before.
