1995 Western Conference Finals, Rockets vs Spurs. Hakeem Olajuwon misses a free throw.

"Hakeem is having a brutal night at the line."

Snapper: "Bill, he's 10 for 13 tonight."

Walton, not missing a beat: "In a game like this, you have to be FOURTEEN for 13."

[/ QUOTE ]

This is great.

from google :

Tony Parker makes a pass, which gets deflected out of bounds by an opposing defender. Spurs ball, no big deal... Walton roars: "Tony Parker just made the worst pass... in the history of Western Civilization!"

Re: Luke

"He's single, he's living in southern California, and he's playing for the Lakers. If he's not having the time of his life, I've failed as a father!"

SC, you're from portland, right? Confirm or deny that Walton is your local color guy.

I can't! I don't have cable and therefore I never watch TV (the reception sucks with bunny ears).

I used to HATE Bill Walton but I've come to appreciate him over the years.

Context: Knicks down 18 at home to the Kings midway through the third, playing awfully.

Quote: "IF the KINGS don't start playing better defense there is no way they are going to win this game."

Alobar,

In Bill Walton's defense, he has improved vastly in the past 4 years or so to the point where I actually enjoy his color commentary. But yes, before then, he was pretty much a joke. I think a lot of it had to do with him being nervous on-air and just constantly prattling on about nothing because he didn't know what else to do.

He actually says some really funny stuff now, and he can be insightful. Still not as good as Hubie though [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

the best was a few years ago when he started working with mike breen. he would just say wacky things and you could tell breen just wanted to laugh at him or come back with a joke. he used to work with Imus and he can be pretty funny.

Stroke it, big man!

[trotski]

During a Sonics game a couple years back, Vlad Radmanovic hits a three pointer, and Walton goes off about how great a shape he's in, and says, "Look at the beautiful body, he just looks great."

"Adam Keefe is dominating this game!!"

"You're not gonna stop Matt Geiger with just one defender"

I love how he builds up the sorry white players. One time Kevin Garnett accidentally dribbled the ball off of his leg and out of bounds while Cherokee Parks was guarding him.

Walton: "I think Kevin Garnett is AFRAID of Cherokee Parks!"

I miss Walton broadcasting the Clippers games, he was much better at the local level than on NBC.

I humbly disagree.

About his height or that he would have been one of the top four centers in basketball? Also, in which direction would you disagree?
