Bill Walton won two California Interscholastic Federation championships with Helix High School, led the UCLA Bruins to an astonishing record 88 straight wins and two NCAA championships, won an NBA title with the Portland Trail Blazers and another with the Boston Celtics. But in the four-part ESPN “30 for 30” documentary series “The Luckiest Guy in the World,” Walton said the game that stands out above all others for him was a first-round contest between the Trail Blazers and the Chicago Bulls in 1977 at the old Madhouse on Madison.
“I loved playing in Chicago,” says Walton. “That’s what you live for. That was the single most exciting basketball game I’ve ever played in my life. … The fans, the atmosphere, the culture, the battle, so many things went down.”
