Jordan Bell drives Bill Walton back to hotel after Warriors beat Luke's Lakers

There's always a story with the legendary Bill Walton. Always. 

After the Warriors' 117-106 win over the Lakers Wednesday night in Oakland, Jordan Bell found himself in the middle of a classic Bill Walton story. 

In the Oracle Arena parking lot, Bell saw Walton walking and had to say hi. What did Walton say back? "Can I get a ride." Seriously. Next thing Bell knew, he was driving Walton back to his apartment after the rookie scored six points and grabbed three rebounds as Bill's son Luke lost to his former team.

"Super random, seen Bill walking, I said 'what's up?' He said, 'can you give me a ride to my hotel?' and I said sure," Bell said in a video describing the encounter. This certainly isn't Bell's first enounter with Walton as the eccentric Hall of Famer is a huge Oregon Ducks fan. 

Another day, another Bill Walton story.
