http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-briefing8mar08,1,172704,print.story?coll=la-headlines-sports
Said Bill Walton on Tuesday: "My mother, Gloria, is still living in the same house we all grew up in — for 54 years now — and is currently the biggest Laker fan in the entire world. She now has DirecTV, digital cable TV, high-speed Internet and a cellphone."
Walton said his mother comes to the house where he and his wife, Lori, live on the north edge of Balboa Park for dinner every night that he is in town.
"These days, she asks us to please plan dinner around the Laker schedule and then kindly asks us to keep the chatter down so that she can listen to Joel [Meyers] and Stu [Lantz] — who she loves dearly," he said.
"When the game is over she generally starts the next conversation with, 'So, Bill, did you ever get a job?' " |

Hehe, well ... ~500k for one year is hardly robbing the org blind.

My guess is she was either one of Buss' GF many decades ago or she is holding photos that will incriminate him.

a serious question: with her being a true laker fan, would she feel good about a trade that would trade luke, but make the lakers better?  |

| I wonder if Bill Walton and Phil Jackson are friends. They've both got the hippie thing going on, though their personalities are kinda different. And if they are friends, does Bill ever ask PJ why he doesn't play Luke more? |

I'm guessing she'll dunk on him like Larry Johnson's grand-ma-ma. |
