If he didnt get hurt he would be up there with the great nba centers of all time too. His play on the one Portland title team was as good as it gets.
I was working at the student center when ucla shockingly blew their OT lead to NC St in 74, his sr yr. Watched it in the rec room where the pool tables were.
About 15 yrs later i was entering an elevator in the GM Bldg at 59 and 5th and i saw bill looking for an elevator car going up. I called to him and held the door. We talked till one of us got off the elevator. Bill i think was wondering who the hell i was lol.
He doesn't have to watch college hoops with his conference of champions playing in other conferences. No more contact highs watching his late game announcing.
RIP to a great one. Tough seeing the guys of your generation dying.
