"John Stockton is one of the true marvels, not just of basketball, or in America, but in the history of Western Civilization!" Tom: "Wow, that's a pretty strong statement. I guess I don't have a good handle on world history." Bill: "Well Tom, that's because you didn't go to UCLA."

Nothing beats the time that he said that "Robert Horry is a defensive genius, but he's also a genius of the human spirit."

1999 or 2000, Knick playoff game. Jeff Van Gundy claps.

"Jeff Van Gundy exploding with jubilation, overcome by emotion."

I wish I could remember more...I love when he says "best player ever" type stuff.

he was describing Dwyane Wade's physique one game and kept going on and on about how perfectly "sculpted" his muscles were and how he reminded him of some Greek God...absolutely hilarious.

Can't remember any quotes off the top of my head this late but you young guys should have seen him play ball (maybe it's on cable). In his prime with UCLA and the NBA Blazers he was just phenomenal. Then he got injured and wasn't that good for a few years then played for the Celts in the mid-eighties and contributed to at least one championship. He had the best court sense of any center that has ever played.

He was listed as 6' 11" but if you look at Celtic team pictures he was at least two inches taller than Robert Parish (Parish was a little over seven foot tall). I remember him saying that he thought being listed at over seven foot tall would make him sound like a freak.

Not injured he would have had one of the top four careers for centers in basketball.

Billy described David Robinson as hitting the DNA lottery (since he's so ripped and is a genius as well). always thought that description was funny.

"This is the single worst display of basketball I have EVER seen in my LIFE!"

and it's awesome when he constantly rags on Shawn Bradley
