hausen's. get it. please show yourself out this is nationwide and across the bay area on this memorial day. >> plus, record breaking memorial day travel means a rush to return as the long weekend comes to a close, we're showing you the roads teeming with traffic and honoring a basketball giant hall of fame player turned star broadcaster bill walton has passed a look at his life and legacy from ktvu fox two news. >> this is the for the opening weekend to the summer travel season is coming to a close and millions of people are now headed home, including back to the bay area, many by car. >> a live look at the roads this afternoon. the san mateo bridge, eastshore freeway, bay bridge, toll plaza and golden gate bridge. early numbers from memorial day travel setting new records. welcome to the for

everyone. i'm greg lee. that surge in travel for the memorial day weekend, reaching a peak for tsa agents, screening a record 2.9 million travelers on friday. the largest number of travelers screened by tsa in a single day, and even more people traveling by car triple a, estimating around 30 million people are driving home after the long weekend with so many people on the roads, the california highway patrol increased their presence throughout the state that maximum enforcement period began friday night and goes through midnight tonight. that last memorial day weekend, the chp made more than 1100 dui arrests and unfortunately, 46 people were killed in crashes. you may have seen chp out on the road. for more on the chp efforts, we're joined by officer art montiel. officer montiel, thanks for the time. officers have been saturated freeways. how important is this enforcement to keep people safe when it is this busy? >> you know, every time during the, during the holiday period, we try to have all the officers

that are available, looking for impaired drivers, people that are not driving safely. so they make sure that all of our family members can get home safely. >> now, officer, we went through those numbers from last year, this year, 964 dui arrests so far statewide. how important is the focus on impaired drivers this year? >> well, i mean, now that the marijuana is legal and people think that just because that it's legal that they can just, smoke it and then get behind the wheel, they need to be reminded that, it's just like alcohol. it might be legal, but you cannot be, driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana or any other substance. >> yeah. officer montoya, we just took some live cameras around the bay area. the east shore freeway. certainly a constant busy stretch, especially during a holiday weekend. what are you advising drivers, especially during those high traffic hours? >> well, for one thing, be patient. i mean, we all know we've all gone out in the holidays. we know it's going to get busy, earlier this morning

there wasn't that much traffic, just about after noon, started getting very high traffic, especially on the bay bridge, coming out of san francisco. and like you mentioned, some of the other freeways around the bay area. so if you're coming home, just be patient. just know that if you are just barely getting home, then it's going to take a little bit a while. but at least you're going to get home safely. >> officer. on top of the speeding and impaired driving, what are some of those other offenses that you're looking for that can be quite dangerous on the roads, some of the main things besides the, the impaired driver is unsafe driving. we caught a lot of people driving over 100 miles an hour, we've done a lot of arrests for other things other than dui. and at the same time, we have had people driving on the right shoulder because they, you know, they see there's traffic and they can just get on the right shoulder and, and pass the, slow traffic. they need to be reminded that the right shoulder is for emergency vehicles and for emergency stops. so not not

to make a phone call, not to, drive on the right shoulder. they need to, only use that for emergencies. >> yeah. officer montoya, we hear this a lot. the maximum enforcement period. explain to us the number of officers we are seeing on the roads, perhaps just in the bay area or what that operation looks like from a chp perspective, i imagine it's sort of an all hands on deck approach. >> so normally you have the officers that work inside the office, doing the, accident review, the work as a felony follow up, officer, the public information officers, a lot of us, the work inside the office will on the maximum enforcement period. everybody, including management, is out on the road, you i'm sure you have seen the commissioner out on anywhere in sacramento. we have the captains from the area, offices out on patrol. so they mean everybody. not only the officers, but management as well. >> officer. obviously, it's a holiday weekend. so a lot of travelers, a lot of people need to get home safely today. any advice for people getting on the road today, make sure your vehicles are in good working condition, leave enough time and

just, be patient. just get home safely. >> yeah. good advice. hope everyone stays safe out there. chp officer art montiel, thanks so much for joining us, sir. >> thank you guys. take care. >> all right. now turning now to our bay area weather live. look at mount diablo this afternoon. it is clear and beautiful. temps have been pretty mild all weekend. a nice holiday weekend. >> you can see those clear skies . we've got meteorologist rosemary oroczo joining us now with what's ahead. this week. yes. we're going to dip and then back up and then in time for the weekend cool it off once again. >> it's kind of that time of year right. the give and the take. we do have a lot of blue sky across parts of the bay area, for our bayside communities and inland. but you get close to the coast and it was a mostly cloudy day, a cool day, temperatures struggling in the 50s and low 60s a live look here at plenty of blue sky and the roadways down below don't look so bad from this vantage point. meanwhile, here's a view of storm tracker two. those low clouds are already banked along the coastline. expect them to make a comeback across the bay

by about sunset. and i'll show you that here in just a moment. the winds have been a fairly light for most of the day. we do see the afternoon, typically with a little bit of a stronger breeze, and that's what we're seeing right now. fairfield reporting an onshore breeze at 16mph. napa southerly at to 20 and oakland reporting 16 as well. temperatures this afternoon coming down in many areas down by four degrees sfo down by eight in napa down by four in san jose. so that onshore breeze having an impact on much of the bay area at this time, 57 degrees at san francisco, 54 half moon bay with cloudy skies. it's a cool one there along the coastline. never really had a beach day over the last few days. our inland cities got a nice warm up though. 80 degrees at concord right now. 76 in livermore. tonight the clouds will return. here's a view of sunset right about 822 these days. over san francisco, parts of the peninsula moving through the bay and into the east bay. areas like oakland and alameda, swallow, san leandro. and then

we get into the overnight hours. it fills in. here's a view of tomorrow morning where 6 a.m. we do have mostly cloudy skies along the coastline and for portions of the east bay, as well as the south bay. by lunchtime it's breaking away and we'll have mostly sunny skies, with temperatures expected to be a little bit cooler tomorrow compared to today, but still about average for many 79 in santa rosa, low 60 san francisco upper 60s oakland 76, livermore 73 san jose. a better look at the afternoon highs for tomorrow and what we can expect for the rest of the week. coming up. >> thank you rosemary. >> now, president biden paid tribute to fallen soldiers this morning as the nation marks memorial day. the president, along with vice president kamala harris, joined defense secretary lloyd austin for the wreath laying ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier at arlington national cemetery. mr. biden delivered remarks to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, saying that each one was bound by a commitment to the united states and its democracy. >> democracy is more than just a

system of government. it's the very soul of america, and it's how we come together as one nation, united. and just as our fallen heroes have kept the ultimate faith with our country and our democracy, we must keep faith with them. >> the commander in chief also spoke up about the loss of his son, beau biden, an iraq war veteran who died of brain cancer in may of 2015. >> still ahead, honoring the life and legacy of basketball legend bill walton. tributes pouring in for the star player and iconic broadcaster. we'll speak to a sports writer who's cove d walton fo decades.

the bounds of remote work. according to a harris poll, it found nearly four out of ten millennials have taken time off work without actually informing their employer in a trend called quiet vacationing. now, 38% of

millennials have taken secret vacations, 24% of gen zers and gen xers reported doing the same, along with 18% of the boomer generation. in a 38% of millennials said they've moved their mouse just to keep their status active at work, compared to 3,830% of gen zers and 29% of gen x, with 20% of boomers doing the same. now we're joined by michael bernick, the former director of the california employment development department, currently an employment in excuse me, an employment attorney with duane harris llp. michael, thank you so much for joining me. thank you. now talk to me a little about the poll itself. where did these results come from? who was actually surveyed, the poll is a harris poll. it's of about 1100, workers of all ages, particularly the millennials. and, it surveyed really different views of work and taking time off from work. and as you noted, the highlight is,

this quiet vacation, the most provocative item, in terms of people having time. it's not that the company policy says they don't have time, but they're reluctant to take time off, they don't want to seem to be a slacker or not fully committed. so they're taking these so-called quiet vacations where they're not there either, scheduling messages to be sent out at different times or moving the mouse at different times, but doing something as a workaround. >> michael, what do you think this says about millennials versus the rest of the other generations? gen z, gen x, boomers? >> i think it's positive. to me, it shows a couple things. one, they don't take their jobs for granted. and how common is that today, especially among millennials. so i think that's a positive sign. it shows me that they're committed in a certain

way to themselves. and to the jobs. how positive is that, now, of course, it would be good if we had some structure that, was more transparent and people felt freer to indicate it. but i think there are a lot of, contrary to the other reactions people have made to this poll, i think there are a lot of positive elements about the millennials. >> do you think it's changing the work culture? is the work culture shifting? i mean, are we seeing a little bit more of that care and concern over work life balance? >> well, this work life balance has, in the 40 years i've been involved, has always has been a constant theme, what's interesting is that this poll has brought out, if you look at the commentary, has brought out the usual know it alls who want to lecture us and how the american economy should be more like the european economy, and we should be more like the french economy. and we should mandate people have to take time off and people have to, you

know, companies have to close down. let me tell you, that's the last thing we need to do, i think the flexibility that companies have and the flexibility that workers have, if they want to work extra, if they want to be there all the time. hey, great. >> now, you also mentioned the impact on these people that are taking these this, these vacations, but still going to work. do you think there are probably people who work remotely who are on vacation, but actually working those eight whole hours? >> i think there are a range of dynamics going on in terms of, but this particular one, as i say, i think is positive. it's spun the reaction to this poll nationwide and it got a lot of attention nationwide. the reaction is largely been, a negative one to say, you know, millennials is, you know, are trying are not honest about what they're doing or that we again, that we need to be more of a european economy. i think this

is shows a number of positive things about this generation. again, not taking the job for granted and, and, again, commitment to themselves and to the company. >> now, i know this isn't just millennials. we've got a few percent also of all these other generations. x and boomers and z, talk a little bit about the solution here. you mentioned companies should not necessarily provide more time off. can you talk a little bit about what the solution is then? >> well, first of all, there's a empire of laws we have in california that are, paid. that requires certain, especially hourly workers. and again, the interview interviewees here are largely professional, but we have, a variety of laws here in california that require a certain amount of paid time off, that require a certain number of sick days, that require paid family leave. so we have the flexibility. what this poll suggests is that people even

with these people, are reluctant to use them. so they're not saying we need more time off. they're saying basically we're reluctant to utilize these or at least show that we're utilizing the time off. and, i don't think that's a problem that needs a solution. it certainly doesn't need a solution from the government to mandate this. and i think companies, the strong companies you mentioned, my law firm, duane morris, they treat us like an adult. that is, if people get their work done, people come in, whether they come in or do it remotely, if they get their work done, that's what's the emphasis. >> thank you, michael bernick, for joining us. employment attorney, thank you so much again. stay with

for more than 755,000 people were expected to travel through this holiday weekend. travelers hoping for no delays or cancellations as well as smooth skies. the airline industry has had numerous incidents this year, but the scariest have to be severe turbulence, where unbuckled passengers flew out of their seats to a variety of injuries and recently, one death. >> ktvu tom vacar is looking at research on the reasons for turbulence and merging technologies to combat them. tom. >> well, i'll tell you this. you know, turbulence has impacted aircraft ever since the wright brothers first flew. the

question now is, are they getting worse? thousand people, six passengers and six crew members were injured when a qatar airways jet encountered severe turbulence over turkey. eight required hospitalization last week, a singapore airlines flight hit severe turbulence that caused the death of one passenger and seriously injured dozens of others, forcing an emergency landing in thailand last year, turbulence on a lufthansa jet from texas to germany injured seven passengers and diverted the plane to virginia, though turbulence have always been an issue since the wright brothers, the european center for medium-range weather forecasts, looked at weather data over four decades. british professor paul williams announced the findings, saying i'll be explaining how climate change could cause a lot more turbulence on your flights in future, how your flight times could get longer because of changes to the headwinds and the

tailwinds and how planes could find it harder to take off because of the warmer air and even be struck more frequently by lightning. the study found that invisible, severe, or extreme clear air turbulence, especially over the u.s. and the north atlantic, were 55% more frequent in 2020 than they were back in 79, the national weather service says. clear air turbulence happened above 15,000ft, most frequently during the winter months. in a follow up study, the scientists predicted that turbulence in the northern hemisphere's middle latitudes could triple in the next 30 to 60 years, and back in 2020, a group of chinese based scientists essentially agreed. all of this is predicated on how much greenhouse gases are pumped into the atmosphere. but retired international airline pilot captain richard levy says the study doesn't make sense to him. >> the temperature at 35,000ft will be, make it simple about 30

to 35 degrees below zero for degrees. it's not going to make any difference. >> now from 2009 to 2022, the ntsb reported 163 serious injuries from turbulence. that's about one a month that number will come down as better detection methods already in existence. they really do exist, are refined and more sophisticated radars come online. back to you. >> yeah. tom. so if we're talking about climate change, it's just one of the potential causes here. what are the other factors that people are considering as it comes to the sort of clear air turbulence? >> well, there are all kinds of turbulence. first of all, turbulence close to the ground are somewhat different or clear. close to mountains are far different than clear air turbulence and of course, turbulence near storms where you have a very active weather system are also different. this is just something where you fly into something. and there are two basically masses of air crashing together, and they

cause the airplane to do all kinds of things that it wouldn't other do. and sometimes it can be extremely dangerous to the aircraft itself. so all of that stuff is on the table right now. but this clearer thing is much more important, because what they really want to do is have a way to detect that as well as they can. the other kinds of turbulence and wind shears, and then they will have a real solution. there is a kind of radar that they're working on that can do that. and you might not know this, but most pilots have, by requirement, have an ipad with them. one ipad has a thing in it called an accelerometer. the accelerometer can actually detect something like turbulence. it then sends that message out to other aircraft in the area and other aircraft in the system, and they'll know that there turbulence there. but this would be an actual way for an aircraft being the first to come upon it, to be able to find it and avoid it. >> tom vacar in the newsroom. thank you so much, tom. >> okay, a tide change could be coming to ncaa sports. what needs to happen before college athletes can start to get paid by their schools, and what it

means for the future of their programs. and more than a mural, the project now underway in san jose. that's part of a bigger plan to revitalize downtown.

ceremony at the san francisco national cemetery in the presidio this morning. those taking part included congresswoman nancy pelosi. many veterans and their families also attended the event. the former house speaker telling the crowd, we all owe a debt of gratitude for the sacrifices of u.s. troops who lost their lives in service.

>> we have to work together to come together. one nation, one destiny, to honor the vision of our founders, of our children and the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. >> before the ceremony, scouts from across the bay area placed an estimated 30,000 flags on the graves at the presidio. >> and from danville to mare island in vallejo, people came together to remember those who lost their lives in service to our country. >> in mill valley, firefighters served breakfast. the community heard from young students on what memorial day means to them. ktvu james torres reports. >> the local fire station welcomed dozens of its neighbors, cooking up hundreds of pancakes. >> it's our way to give back to the community, have a great opportunity to meet and collaborate and talk with our community members and really pay some homage to those that have

served for our freedom. >> a more than 30 year tradition with young volunteers, all appreciating the liberties they live with in mill valley, we really make sure that we celebrate two things one, the parade, the speeches. >> it's all about community. it's about celebrating community. it's the things that brings us together and we make sure that we also remember the purpose of memorial day is to remember those who fought and never came back. >> mill valley's mayor led the speeches this morning near the downtown square. that's where students participated in a newer tradition, telling stories in poetry form of how they interpret memorial day. >> americans that we honor on memorial day are men and women in the military that lost their lives in battle or military training. find someone you love. enjoy the day with them. go to the carnival. get a bite to eat, find some sunshine because you can. >> the event ended with its annual parade, reminding everyone why their town and this holiday is so special. reporting in mill valley i'm james torres,

ktvu, fox two news. >> now the south bay, more than 1200 volunteers are working on san jose's newest piece of public art this week. >> it's called threads woven, and it's a massive mural near san pedro square, ktvu an ruben is live, where the very first day of painting is underway, and an organizers hope this brings the community together, not just this week, but in the future. >> yeah, that's right, there are hundreds of volunteers scheduled each day and as you can see, they've got their work cut out for them. the mural will be more than 12,000ft!s, and you can see it's already starting to take shape. now, this is what it's supposed to look like when it's all done. the artist jimmy paint said the inspiration was a serape blanket and the diversity of san jose. but while he designed it, it will be up to the volunteers to execute his vision. the hope is that they will feel invested in the public art they've helped create. the project was organized by the san

jose downtown association, an adobe and local color, as a way to activate downtown and make it more vibrant. earlier this year, officials in san jose decided to keep this section of san pedro street closed to traffic and local businesses hope this mural will be a draw. >> i think the hope with any public art piece is to enhance the connection between people and place. and so when we do a piece like this, we're able to have people come out and connect to this place and connect to each other in a really unique and interesting ways. >> we're not just giving art to the community, we're making art in the community, with the community. >> volunteers will be out here from nine until seven each day. the hope is that they will get this mural completed by friday. >> back to you guys and ruben live in south bay. thank you so much, ann. >> college athletics on the verge of a new era. last week, the nc two.a and the country's five biggest conferences reached a groundbreaking agreement that

seeks to end amateurism, opening the door to athletes receiving pay directly from the colleges and universities they play for. the proposed settlement still needs to be approved by a federal judge, and that could be months away. >> for more on what we know and don't know, we're joined by sean fletcher, public relations and sports communications professor at san jose state. sean, there's definitely two parts to this settlement. nearly $3 billion for former athletes and a future revenue sharing model. but let's be clear there's a lot of questions that still need to be answered before any checks are written right. >> yeah, absolutely. and ultimately, the settlement terms have to be agreed upon by the presiding judge. but within all of this, the devil is always in the details of it all. yes, athletes, it's dating back to 2016 up until current. unfortunately, old guys like myself were not part of it, they are entitled to a portion of

this nearly $3 billion settlement. but when you move to the other portion of this, this agreement, you got to also unpack that. within this, anyone who agrees to sign on to it has to waive their right for further litigation against the ncaa. and no further antitrust lawsuits. so whenever you see situations like this come about, you have to ask yourself, what is the ncaa willing to give up in order to protect a lot? very similar to the recent nfl concussion settlement that gave former players several billion dollars within that settlement as well. >> sean, let's unpack some of these details inherently at issue or issues of equity for men and women for start. how do you see that going will pay differ by gender here? >> well, here's the challenge. and there has been no rubric or any type of formula that has come out of this yet from any of the power five conferences.

because i'll remind you as well, this only impacts the power five conferences and in all actuality, power four. we understand that the power the pac 12 is no longer. so ultimately we need to figure out what the title nine implications are going to be. this is effectively a salary cap model where they don't have the details as to how this is going to be paid out across various sports. obviously the traditional revenue generating sports, which is football and men's basketball, oftentimes they get a miss allocation or over allocation of the resources. but title nine is not going to allow that. so as to date, right now i'm hearing that ultimately that is going to be left up to the institutions themselves to sort out the title nine messiness of this all. so i think it's going to get messier before we see any clarity. >> sean, i understand that these universities and colleges will have to be paying these salaries. what would that mean for those universities and colleges? >> well, now the power five,

since it's relegated to them, i'll save what it means for the mid-majors, for a little bit later. but for the power five conferences, it's not going to hurt them. all right? they're they're allocating only $20 million. and there was some research that came out around 2022 that around 60 or so universities within the power five conferences, they raked in $3.3 billion from football alone. so it is not going to hurt their operating budget. but when we start talking about this, possibly expanding beyond the power five conferences, that's where you're going to see some equity issues. that is where you're going to start seeing pay for play start to hamper how these athletic programs are able to operate and compete with those who can potentially really dole out more money to these athletes. we're already seeing it with nil. >> sean, let's keep going with that. how much of a concern is this in those mid-majors for schools that don't have those

lucrative tv contracts for sports like football and basketball, how do they compete? >> well, that ship has already sailed. i'll be honest with you. nil started that this is just going to create a model for paying their players, which is effectively a salary cap. of courseit gets sensitive when we have the conversations around employment status and comp and benefits. no one really wants to go in that direction, which i believe this is subtly a preemptive strike to get around that, as several of the power five commissioners have talked about. but i do believe at some point we're going to have to have that conversation. so as of right now with it being effectively a salary cap model and now players are trying to understand the institutions are trying to understand and get their arms around what nil means. those that are left out are the have nots, those who cannot go into an athlete's living room and sit and talk money. the power five

conferences are the ones who have a monopoly on that conversation right now. so we're seeing those, athletes that perform extremely well on the mid-major level. they're getting poached right now, and i only see that increasing. >> sean, we've talked a lot about the universities and colleges. what about these athletes and their families? they're ready to take the next step into collegiate sports with scholarships and nil deals. now this potential how does an athlete navigate all of these waters? >> well, financial literacy is going to be critical. i've preached that even prior to nil, on any level. but understanding the landscape of it, this is this is the new normal. this is not a decade or two decades ago. heck, this isn't even when i played back in the early 2000. the landscape now is you are able to now go and get your value. and that really started with the, brett kavanaugh memo that unlocked the floodgates for nil. the families need to

understand what they have, what their rights are, the conversations that can be had with potential recruiters and ultimately, you need to know what your value is on any level of potential competition. and i encourage those athletes to go and get that. staying true to what they are in it for. and hopefully it is an education. but also now there is a monetary factor. there as well. so financial literacy and understanding the terrain that we now operate within is going to be crucial. and we still yet to understand all of the details of it. so stay tuned. >> yeah, a lot of change that is to come. that's a good place to leave it. sean fletcher, public relations and sports communications professor at san jose state, always appreciate you joining us, sir. >> likewise. thank you. >> a pleasant day across the bay area for most, giving you a live look there at the golden gate bridge where it did remain a cloudy and cool close to the coast. have a look at

an nba legend, was 71. league commissioner adam silver said bill walton was truly one of a kind. >> bill walton. he's in a festive mood. >> broadcasting with ralph lawler is like playing music with bob dylan and jerry garcia

and the grateful dead with the lufkin. >> we wish all of you well. those of you who are struggling, who were suffering, yes, we've been healed. we're at the lufkin. >> we are the conference of champions, commissioner silver said. >> bill translated his infectious enthusiasm and love for the game to broadcasting. i spoke to walton's longtime broadcast partner, roxy bernstein. i've just appreciative of the person that he is and was, and it he made this impression on my life that i don't i don't know if anybody else has had the same impact on me that bill's had. for more on the life and legacy of bill walton, we're joined by scott ostler, sports columnist for the san francisco chronicle. scott, appreciate your time. your coverage of bill goes back to your time at the la times. let's start with the impact bill had on the court at ucla and beyond. >> well, his impact was phenomenal. you know, at ucla he was he he was the best. and you know, when people ask how did he

and johnny would never kind of come to a meeting in the minds because you had this old school coach in this new rambunctious, crazy guy out of southern california who wanted to he had won the coach who wanted to have all the rules, and the kid that wanted to break all the rules and yet they just, the fact that they got together was phenomenal. the two best guys, probably at what they did ever, you know. yeah. when i think about it. yeah. think about a venn diagram of this is johnny wooden and this is bill walton, the soul. and where they intersect, there's this white hot, white hot, molten hot little sliver labeled basketball. they just bonded at basketball. >> and they were incredibly successful at that. i want to show a full screen here. warriors head coach steve kerr said this in a statement this afternoon. bill walton was a legendary player, a hilarious, colorful broadcaster, and most of all, a wonderful person. his incredible energy, passion, love and zest for life was never turned off. our hearts are broken today as we mourn bill's passing and grieve with his

family. scott, for you, what stands out about bill's passion as a broadcaster and sort of the second part of his career? >> well, just the one thing, the honesty and the enthusiasm, which were pretty obvious, you know, if there was a bill walton school of broadcasting, they would probably first day they'd just hand you a big megaphone and, something to make you happy. and say, until you just go for it. you know, bill, there was no rules for bill in broadcasting. he just. he just it's like if they stopped paying bill, they said, we can't pay anymore. he'd say, that's okay, i'll do it for free. he just loved doing it, man. his, his he was so passionate about he loved the game so much. >> yeah. we've heard a lot about his infectious spirit today. we sort of saw him as this larger than life player and broadcaster. but you knew him maybe more and well than other people. tell us what you can about bill walton, the person. >> well, one thing is, is his phenomenal gift for making connections with people. and i was thinking about this a little while ago, and if i had a mount rushmore of people who can just

do this, who can make a connection, a real, honest human, one on one connection, be guys like dusty baker, steve young, charles barkley. it's a very small we'll put bill on there and round out the mount rushmore. but just he was just when you talk to bill, you sat with him for a few minutes and talked to him or talked to him on the phone or whatever, you came away thinking, i must be his best friend, you know, he just was always great to talk to and hang with. >> that's exactly what roxy bernstein said. he said he makes you feel like you're his best friend, even if he talks to a hundred people. roxy told us an amazing story about what a deadhead walton was, and it seems like everyone has a personal story or anecdote about bill. do you have a favorite memory that you can share with us? >> i guess i'd go with the my first meeting with bill, which would be 1979, when i was covering the lakers in los angeles, and bill was, for a very short time, was with san diego, then san diego clippers. and he was he played a little bit that year, but he was right

in the middle of an injury siege that knocked him back for like 3 or 4 years. and i set up an interview with him and he showed up. if you remember his early nba career, he was this long hair, had the headband. he was this hippie that people talked to him as a mountain man, this wild man with all these crazy views. and i sat down and talked to him, and he showed up in a suit and tie and i said, you know, what's the deal? and he said, well, you know, i'm kind of changing. i'm going, i'm phasing into a different thing. and fortunately, that phase didn't last that long. it was back to the tie dyed shirts a few years after that. but but it was. i just remember that being a great interview. i didn't know bill at all until then. until that day. and we sat down for, you know, maybe half an hour or so and like i said, i came away thinking this, this guy is great. this this is why i like covering the nba. and he and i think looking back on that, just briefly, at that time, his career was ruined. he was a 27 year old whose career was shot to #### because of his body, couldn't hold up to the pounding, and it was breaking
