This is my advice to someone who knows nothing about basketball.

Me: Hey, Random Guy Who Knows Nothing About Basketball!

Random Guy Who Knows Nothing About Basketball: No, it's Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball. You forgot my fifth name.

Me: Whatever, you still stink.

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: Do not!

Me: Yes, you do.

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: No!

Me: I'm not going to argue with you,but I will give you some advice!

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: Let's say that I did stink, you couldn't give me any legitimate advice! Could you?

Me: Yeah, of course I can. I'm The Basketball Brain. This advice could help the Heat beat the Celtics! If only Pat Riley were here to hear this.

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: No way.

Me: Yes way.

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: Okay, then what is the advice?

Me: Just Walk the Walt.

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: You mean Wilt? Like Wilt Chamberlain?

Me: No, Walt!

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: Like, Bill Walton?

Me: No, Walt! As in his first name! Now can you guess?

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Who?

Me: Gosh, do I have to spell it out? W-A-L-T B-E-L-L-A-M-Y. Walt Bellamy.

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: Who?

Me: How do you not know who he is? Only, like the most underappreciated player ever! He's third all-time in rebounds, averaged 31.6 ppg in his rookie season, led the league in field goal percentage that year, he was awesome! Not to mention his 20.1 career ppg average.

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: He must've been pretty good.

Me: Well, yeah!

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: Okay, I'll Walk the Walt.

Me: Be sure to!

Random Guy Who Knows Absolutely Nothing About Basketball: I'll remember that.

So the morale of this story is: Walt Bellamy is awesome and underappreciated! Walk the Walt!
