City of Portland should buy it and place it down on the waterfront somewhere, maybe next to Vera's!! It's a Portland thing!!

I'm a liberal and I don't want to waste tax dollars on a statue of Bill. I think that's a terrible idea. Do you live in Portland proper?

Just raise taxes on the rich. They need to pay their fair share of something they don't care about.

Because if Walton would have eaten a steak once in a while and put down the bong, we would have had at least two titles, probably more. LaMarcus deserved our bitterness and anger, but not nearly at the level shown in here. You can argue that he didn't have enough, but you can't say he didn't give everything he had to give while he was here.

Oh bullshit. BULL FUCKING SHIT. I am sorry, I am going to have to "old man" interject here, because you have no damn clue what you are talking about. Walton was the EPITOME of healthy living. He and Dr. Jack shared a common love for health and fitness. Bill's body just was not built for the rigors of being an NBA center. That the Blazers and he got almost 2 years of prime play before his body frame said "uh uh, fuck you, I'm done" was a miracle in itself and not the fault of the way he lived in the slightest. Bill didn't ask for his body to betray him. When he left, he was more pissed off at an organization who employed doctors that listened more to the needs and wants of the management vs. their patient than the fans and the city. He has many times come back and expressed regret at the way things ended with the team in 1979, and professed his love for the city, the fans, the team, and the fact that he is a Blazer for life. What more do you want from him? I'm sorry if perhaps your politics and life view doesn't mesh with his, but that doesn't give you the right to belittle him as a player and what he meant and means to this city.

And the fact that he and his crew won an NBA title, which somehow means so goddamn little to you that you favor that fucking prima-donna, weak psyche, mumblemouth "you know"-spewing Aldridge over him is fucking laughable.

Of course you can say that. He didn't give everything he had to give while he was here.

See?

Bollocks. His fucking rabbit-food diet was a joke. Nowhere near enough calcium, and way too many pseudo-protiens pretending to be as effective as meat. His bones were far too brittle, and they wouldn't have been had he not gone all moral vegetarian and drank a glass of fucking milk once in a while.

Dr. Wookee, how many of your vegetarian patients suffer from brittle bones?

And it's not that difficult to research and discover some greens (broccoli, kale, collards) and fish (tuna, cod, salmon) are loaded with calcium.
 
CA spends 30 billion on illegal immigrants every fucking year. You would think they could allocate a few dollars for Bill.
I guess redheads are not as welcomed.

Bill would love it there. But realistically speaking the only place for it is by the Rose Quarter....and funded by PA.
