Ben Affleck showed off his spot-on Bill Walton impression, perfectly honoring his Boston roots

Actor Ben Affleck got a chance to share his stellar Bill Walton impression on the latter’s alternative NBA broadcast.

While appearing as a guest on Throw It Down with Bill Walton during Monday night’s Boston Celtics/Cleveland Cavaliers game, Affleck talked about growing up and watching Walton play his final years with the Celtics.

That stretch included the 1986 Boston title season.

With a young Affleck taking in Walton in his twilight years in the league, he developed a pretty on-point impression of Walton that he shared with the NBA legend.

Affleck didn’t seem to think it was all that good, but close your eyes and imagine Walton talking as the Oscar winner does his mimicry. It’s uncanny.

Like, that’s why Affleck makes the big bucks in Hollywood.

His well-established Boston roots likely helped him forge this impression, and he’ll have to toast himself with a fresh cup of joe from Dunkin’ for nailing Walton’s deep voice. The former Celtic seemed to get a kick out of it.
