By Lauren Daley Boston Globe Correspondent, July 17
There’s a YouTube montage of basketball commentator/former Celtic Bill Walton’s on-air antics — eating a lit birthday candle, playing a glockenspiel, stripping down to change tie-dye tees, rubbing dirt on his face, throwing popcorn. If you had no idea who Walton was, it’s a darn good introduction
The French coined the term “joie de vivre” to describe characters like Walton. And when interviewing the Basketball Hall of Famer, you sit back and enjoy the ride.
