With the Final Four descending on New Orleans this weekend, all the big names have arrived in the Crescent City.
And possibly none are bigger, figuratively and literally, than NCAA and NBA legend Bill Walton, who stopped by SportsTalk on Westwood One radio row this week to dish on New Orleans, the primetime matchups headed to the Superdome this weekend, mistaken "KG" identity and more with WWL's Kristian Garic and Jeff Nowak.
"[New Orleans is] is at the top. The best. I just think they should just have New Orleans one year, Las Vegas the next year," Walton said. "Just go back and forth. Because they just have everything here."

And the two-time NCAA champion with UCLA is hyped for big-time matchups beginning on Saturday, first Villanova-Kansas followed by Duke-North Carolina, the latter of which features legendary head coach Mike Kryzsewksi trying to ride off into the sunset as an NBA champion, not unlike Walton's former coach John Wooden.
"It's like a movie -- it's a Disney movie. It's a fantastic story, but the pressure's on to win" Walton said. "Look at what happened at the last game at home, at Cameron. The unintended consequences of throwing a party for yourself."
