When coach John Wooden asked Bill Walton if he smokes marijuana

[@braviafeed]

I love Bill Walton!!! RIP Big Fella!

[@dennissaunders5247]

R.I.P BILL WALTON. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY. THE NBA MOUNTAIN MAN HIPPIE.

[@deantucker4897]

Bill was the best center I’ve ever seen. I hope you and John are together somewhere, passing one back-and-forth.

[@Mule4ever123]

I think Bill & Jerry are much more likely to be up there smoking a doob rn than Bill & John lol

[@kraqah]

@@Mule4ever123 i dont see why they cant all be enjoying one together

[@anodyne57]

Look, one way of looking at this is that he saved Coach Wooden from the worry that he would have caused him, if he told him the truth. That was not a sin of omission, but of love for his mentor.

[@lukefoster5794]

Also Walton played for Wooden from 1972 to 1974, and drug testing for weed wasn’t widespread till the 1980s so it would’ve been stupid for Walton to say yes because they literally couldn’t prove he was lying!

[@therealbs2000]

Yeah, what a noble gesture, almost certain that was his motivation too

[@johnyhefner]

We call this rationalization. It’s just a clever was to justify lying.

[@ShawnC.T.]

Coach Wooden reciprocated that love...

Yeah, so much he lied to his face.

[@stocksgoupward5922]

[@Malouco]

If someone asked me... "I HEARD U SMOKE WEED" I will say... "WHY U GOT SOME"

[@WendellD00]

Arguably, the best center in college and pros when healthy!

[@thehypocriticalcynic9182]

Did he smoke? His eulogies seemed like he did everything else right...!!!??? Rip BIL Walton

[@lukefoster5794]

He smoked, he just said no because at the time coach Wooden asked him it the year would’ve been in 1973 and weed drug testing was a thing till the 80s, so they literally couldn’t prove if he was or wasn’t unless Walton told them

[@user-fm9vt3vo9n]
