    This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest teams in NBA history, the 1986 Boston Celtics. Back in 2016, NBC Sports Boston produced a documentary on that season called "The '86 Celtics". We gathered interviews with members of that team, media, and others in the making of the documentary. Every Monday for the next few months, we'll re-release these long-form interviews on the Celtics Talk podcast feed.In episode two…we sit down with Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton, who was a member of the Celtics for only two seasons, but the passion with which he always spoke about the franchise is unmatched. Walton, of course, was the star of the John Wooden UCLA teams that won an incredible 88 games in a row and two national championships. His NBA career began in Portland, where Walton led the Cinderella Trail Blazers to the 1977 NBA title.But injuries to Walton started piling up. He played in only 57% of the regular season games during his ten year career. He was rejuvenated, however, when he was traded to Boston in the summer of 1985. Here is our extended interview with Bill Walton, conducted by the director of The ‘86 Celtics documentary, Tory Champagne.WATCH THE FULL DOCUMENTARY ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL WATCH every episode of the Celtics Talk podcast on YouTubeFollow NBC Sports Boston:NBCSportsBoston.comX @NBCScelticsFacebookInstagramTikTok Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
