Was wondering what happen to Bill Walton. Is he still with ABC? Haven't seen or heard from him during the Finals
he probably got fired for doing too much crystal meth
I dunno but he predicts the Cavs will win tonight:

he's on the nba postgame show on espn, along w/ carlisle, mashburn, and a couple other people.
Who needs him, we have Mark Jackson doing the games. :cry
:lol He is in Cleveland, what does anyone expect the guy to say?

He bashed the Spurs every god damn year we played the Lakers. He flip flops like no other. I want to rip my ears off when he does one of our games.
I heard him on ESPN radio last Sunday morning. Apparently he's doing the ESPN radio broadcast.
The big buffoon had nothing but praise for the Spurs and Coach Pop.
he makes me want to take a rusty razorblade to my wrist.
Once it's obvious the Spurs are great he flops to their side. When everyone was still amazed by the Lakers 3+ years ago he did nothing but praise Horry's defense and bash bowen during the entire games. He would bash parker's style, then the next play Parker would do something amazing and Walton was all over him. Horrible, he makes me sick.Quote:

espn gotta love it.
Walton makes me laugh. A lot.
He loves the NBA and is enthusiastic about the playoffs. He's bad for bad ratings.
I love Bill Walton. He is hilarious and listening to his constant flip flopping is great. I enjoy when he is commentating for us.
He doesn't take himself seriously, he has no loyalty to any team, any player, or any viewpoint, even his own. He lives in the moment, watches the game like a fan and is the most fun, by far, of any color commentator in sports. Put him, Jeff Van Gundy and Bobby Czyz on every NBA game and I'll be happy.Quote:

People who dont really watch NBA basketball will get more interested about the game, with the way he describes it. He makes the basketball newbie stay watching for a couple more minutes, instead of changing the channel. Maybe in a few more minutes, the game's exciting finish would get the noob hooked by the game itself.
He's "Basketball 101 for Dummies" meets Jim Henson Hour's "The Storyteller"
Exactly. Him and Van Gundy could've actually made game two watchable.Quote:

Is there any bigger tool besides Stephen Assclown Smith?Quote:

I'm glad Al Michaels isnt doing the Finals. In 2005 he couldn't have looked or sounded more disinterested in the games. He's more an NFL guy.
I miss Tom Tolbert. He once called Danny Fortson the human foul. :D
I thought Dave Barnett came back this year.
Probably got fired for wearing too much tie dye.
