Bill Walton doesn’t play around when it comes to his beloved bicycle.
The former NBA center and basketball announcer recently traveled to Hawaii, where he apparently was looking to get some cycling in during his vacation. But there was just one little problem: Hawaiian Airlines lost Walton’s bike.

The airline reached out to Walton pretty quickly, but he was not having it from the company. Hawaiian Airlines’ Twitter account asked Walton to message them privately, but Walton kept this battle out in the open.
Bill, we apologize for the inconvenience. Can you send us more details in a PM?

And when the company asked Walton to message them a second time, that’s when the one-time Boston Celtic got really sassy.

There’s a happy ending to this story, though, as Walton did eventually get his bike back, and he apparently made amends with Hawaiian Airlines.

Here’s to hoping we get an update about Walton’s bike trip to the volcano, too.
