There was a period of at least a couple years on FSN broadcasts where Lawler was the play-by-play and Walton the color man. This was the greatest era of my life as a basketball observer.

A few Waltonisms not yet mentioned:
-Constantly saying "Shades of Kareem" whenever the Kandi man managed to make a hook shot.
-Mentioning like 3x a game how Loy Vaught was an all-time great.
-"Tractor Traylor, trying his best out there to EAT Earl Boykins"
and my personal favorite "WHERE would the Clippers be without Sean Rooks?" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just now on ESPN:

Talking about Mark Cuban "I'm a big supporter of that facial hair, Mark just looks great."

That was the gist of it at least.
