Bill Walton

The UCLA USC thread reminded me of all the gems that Walton has produced over the years.

Love Bill.   Great guy, doesn't care what people think.  Says what he feels (if he's feeling anything other than a great high!)

Larry Bird on Bill Walton

 

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Nothing like the professional interview of Bird sitting in a recliner.    Lazy-Boy Larry.

 

And of course Costas in the middle of an interview has to cut himself off, from his own thoughts, to actually give the interviewee some time to speak.

I enjoy Walton's commentary and am glad he does Pac-12 games now. If nothing else, he is unique. This is my personal favorite:

he rambles like an idiot

still one of the top 3 cbb players of all time

90 percent of what Walton says has nothing to do with the game going on in front of him. Someone could have their leg completely detach from their body and lay there on the court with blood gushing out all over the place, and Bill wouldn't miss a beat talking about a car that his uncle owned in the 70s

Walton just went on some rant nobody understood, including his broadcast partner.

He is the Jose Mota of basketball announcing.

This describes every single broadcast he is involved in

I love listening to Bill Walton announce games, I enjoy his Bruin bias and he is highly entertaining IMO.  I can see how people wouldn't like him (maybe I wouldn't if I wasn't a Bruin) but I could listen to him call any pac 12 game and be entertained by him.
