NEW YORK (WFAN) -- NBA all-timer Bill Walton joined Boomer & Carton on Wednesday to look back on all aspects -- from college to the pros -- of his Hall of Fame career.
One thing's for sure: Walton can't wait to wake up on Thursday.
"We've declared tomorrow a holiday because it's a situation where (we have) the perfect harmonic convergence of St. Patrick's Day and the start of the NCAA Tournament," said the ever-cerebral great. "And we have this opportunity to celebrate the greatness, the goodness and the boldness of life."
