Antoine Walker on partying and winning: “Shaq was doing a lot of parties back then. We would have parties on the road and kick it. I mean, it was just a fun season, man. We had a lot of fun. We probably could have won 60 games if we didn’t get off to such a bad start. We still won 52 games, but we always knew that it was going to be hard for anybody to beat us in a seven-game series. Once we gelled and got ourselves together, we knew that. I always tell people, I’ve never partied and played basketball like that in my life. That 15-strong saying was so strong, man. We hung out with each other. There were never any problems internally. It was a special year, man. I will always remember it. My college championship was special, but this was special too because we did it on the big stage, in the NBA, with those guys.”
