ESPN’s broadcast of the Arizona-Colorado game Thursday evening featured Dave Pasch, Jay Bilas, and Bill Walton as the broadcast team. In a departure from the norm, Bilas blessed viewers with a Grateful Dead t-shirt.
Bilas is one of the more popular basketball analysts in ESPN’s stable of personalities. He’s also one of the network’s most popular. Bilas is known for quoting lyrics of rapper Jeezy on Twitter. However, this time, he gave a nod to the band who happens to be a favorite of one of his broadcast partners for the evening.
It’s no secret Walton is a Grateful Dead fan. He even hosted “Grateful Dead Tribute Night” at a Sacramento Kings game. It’s no wonder Walton is all smiles.
