Then the other day I read an article about him and his dunks which sent me to youtube to check out some more of his jams. I was clicking through the related videos on the right margin when I noticed one that was titled "Bill Walker pees on a towel" or something. Not being interested in the watersports, I passed and clicked on another dunk highlight video. Then I saw another similar title. And another. The images all looked like they were on the court, so I had to check it out. There's no way he pissed himself in a game and I missed it. Could it be?
All of the videos were shot from the stands without zoom or commentary so you couldn't really tell what was going on. So I googled "Bill Walker pees" and checked out the deadspin link (they're all over this sort of weird sports news) Amazingly, it appears that with seconds left in a close college game, Bill Walker decided that he couldn't hold it, shoved some towels down his shorts, in front of 15,000 people, and drained the weasel. No stagefright there. Wow. How did I miss this story?And now today, youtube is buzzing with this video about him in their most recent preseason game against the Houston Rockets. Not as outlandish as pissing on some towels in front of a packed house, but some pretty punchy play against the new team of Ron Artest. (keep in mind that this is a Rockets' broadcast)
There's not going to be any shortage of intensity in the Celtics' quest to repeat.

I watched a lot of the game against the Cavs last night. (You get one guess why I watched a pre-season basketball game and it is not because I like Verejao's hair, although I do). I was disappointed that Walker didn't play, at least while I was watching. I love the reaction of the Celtic bench after that dunk. There's a riot goin' on!
hmmm... I was thinking you were on a Jetblue flight, but I don't think they'd have the local network broadcast. Could it be because your dad's from Cleveland and it was a father-son bonding session?
