And I forget who he called the greatest inbound passer of all time (Horry maybe?), but it was hilarious when he did.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was Charlie Ward, which makes it even more funny.

charlie ward won the heisman, i should look up in an interview why he picked bball instead.
im guessing he thought he would last longer, more pay, not be crushed etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

He would have sucked in the NFL

[/ QUOTE ]

why do you say he would have sucked? his height would have been fine. i dunno how long he would last but "sucked" i dunno.

p.s. he was also drafted for baseball

Did he choose roundball over football? I know he went undrafted in the NFL, but I can't remember if that was because he said he'd rather play in the NBA.

You mean top 4 ever? No way.

[/ QUOTE ]

i agree with you, but it seems Rick doesn't.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just doesn't make sense. Wilt/Shaq/Hakeem are pretty much locks as top 3, however you choose to order them. Can Walton beat out Russell, Jabbar, Robinson, etc. for the 4 spot? I don't think so.

[samjjones]

Hakeem > Kareem? Are you serious?

[Spellmen]

I don't remember the exact quote but he always declares someone the best at some weird task. He once boldly claimed Robery Horry was the best inbounds passer in NBA history

[kidcolin]

Dead serious. If I'm starting a team and can pick players from all time, I'm pretty sure I pick Hakeem as my 5.

EDIT: ok I just did some quick research. I think I'm off here. I think that pretty much locks up the top 4 though. Hakeem was a freak.

To the best of my knowledge, Walton does Clippers games, Snapper does Blazers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thankfully, Walton does not do Clipper games. We get Ralph Lawler, who is, seriously, awesome. I don't mind Walton but as I think Tuq noted... small doses.

Please someone defend "Walton would be Top 4 centers ever if he had been healthy":

Walton NBA Career Stats

There is just not enough information to go on: even if you took his best season and kept him consistent for 8 straight seasons, he is prolly not Top 4 centers in NBA history. I've only seen a couple UCLA games and Blazer games on ESPN Classic, and he is very talented but saying he could've been Top 4 ever is tough to defend.

Sonics Game Circa 1998

"Terry Cummings is an overweight tub of Goo"

It is still quoted once a week between me and the three friends I was watching the game with.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well make sure you & your friends give the correct attribution as David Letterman describing Braves pitcher Terry Forster.

thats interesting, i think he (or his agent) basically said that no team should pick him in the first round, but that might have been to save face.
i just think that a heismen winner would be picked 100% (even if he said dont pick me in the first round)

I think he accepted a contract from the knicks after being drafted by them, prior to the NFL draft.

I personally think he would have been a pretty good NFL QB, as he was far more McNair than he was Ware or Vick.
