This week has seen a fantastic event at Petco Park: The Bill Walton Basketball Festival. It started on Monday with high school games and concludes Sunday afternoon with the Aztecs and Toreros playing for the City Championship.
On Friday Bill Walton himself shared his thoughts on the festivities, the first basketball games ever played inside the Padres' jewel of a Downtown ballpark. As you'd imagine, the NBA Hall of Famer and San Diego native is excited for this veritable Hoop-a-palooza.
I can listen to this man talk forever. When you hear his enthusiasm, you'll understand why.
