-The friendship he developed with Walton, starting with a meeting at Walton’s home ahead of that 1973 game at Pauley Pavilion
-Why that matchup with UCLA was a “balancing point” for Maryland’s program under Lefty Driesell
-Their respective social consciences and the role that played in their friendship, what it meant to him that Walton used his platform to support marginalized people
