Bill Walton has been doing what he does best during the playoffs — Talk. The former NBA star turned NBA commentator has been leaving son Luke messages on his answering machine in hopes of motivating the Laker forward. Luke has been receiving messages from the likes of “Carloz Boozer“, “Carmelo Anthony“, and now “Paul Pierce“.

“This is Paul Pierce, you’re a bum, all your teammates are bums.”

These motivational prank calls by Bill Walton prove two things: 1) He is horrible at motivating as Luke Walton has been average at best. And 2) Big Red is in dire need of some attention following his recent time-off from the commentating booth. Throw it down…..Give it up big man, Give it up!
