no Bill Walton is funny... in fact... he's legendary!
I cant decide who I despise more... Bill Walton or Marv Albert... they both make me so angry I even get them confused at times and will just start yelling for both of them to shut up... regardless of whos talking at the time.
Did anyone else catch the exchange between Walton and Jim Durham..
JD: "At least no travel call there."
BW: "The correct terminology is 'called'."
Then Durham kind of sat there silent for a moment like ...WTF DID YOU SAY?!
I wish they would have showed his face when that ass-clown tried to correct him.
no Bill Walton is funny... in fact... he's legendary!
As far as pompous asses are concerned. He is "legendary".
Bill Walton and Marv Albert are both very good
Dopey and Kinky.
Yes. They are both really good at being annoying s.
I actually like Marv Alberts commentating, its not all that bad I dont see how someone can get confused by it. But Walton on the other hand, damn hes a dumbass, when he talks I pay attention to what hes saying and it will make NO sense at all. And he switches constantly on who he favors in a playoff series or game even.
When you look at how far Bill Walton has come, you may learn to appreciate him more.
First, he was a genuine All-American Center at UCLA, probably the best defensive center to ever play the game and easily the best passing center to ever.
Second, he stuttered so badly he wouldn't speak for fear of being ridiculed. He was also a vegetarian, such that many attributed his diet to being a cause for his many injuries and the inability to heal. His career in the NBA was much shorter than it should have been.
Yeah, he says a lot of things that many disagree with. He does, however, say what he thinks, not what people want to hear. He is, by and large, a risk taker. I wish he said more good things about the Spurs, although he does most of the time.
I respect Bill Walton more than I like him.
Are we talking about the same Bill "I like whoever is winning" Walton? GMAFB!
how can u respect Bill Walton?
I feel sorry for that waste of oxygen
Most of what Walton says is tongue in cheek. You guys take it too seriously.
i think he was joking. he has an odd sense of humor, but does stuff like that all the time. a lot of times he says weird stuff and sounds serious about it, but is really joking.
i give the nod to Marv...he's alot better at biting a hooker in the ass while dressed in drag...
I've met Bill Walton on two occasions. Once was at a Spurs practice three years ago. The second time was with my brother-in-law on the Riverwalk during the Sacramento series. He was very nice both times, and I was impressed that he remembered me. I think he's a good man as a person, but I do get the comments that he's annoying on camera.
I think he actually said something along the lines of "the significant word here being called". I think he was joking about the fact that there was definitely a travel but for whatever reason the official didn't call it.
Don't get me wrong, I did groan when I heard his voice and did turn off the game soon after I heard that bit of commentary. He is annoying sometimes. It probably didn't help that I knew the game was going to be a blowout and felt like a waste of time.
I dunno for sure but I suspect that there's a "formula" that the casters take, you know, 1 resonable guy, 1 informative guy and then the loose cannon. That kinda dynamic also seems to run in other reporting venues.
Walton is the most entertaining announcer, dont know why everyone thinks he sucks that much
Walton is great. He just tries to have fun when he is doing analysis on games. I've met him and he's a great guy too. Not self-absorbed at all.
Walton is the only national commentator I don't preemptively mute. He's hilarious. Lighten up.
The correct terminoloy is Bill Walton has an anus.
thanks, first topic i saw
Stop all the Walton-hatin', that is until he jumps off the Spurs wagon in a few years.
Walton is the greatest announcer in the history of western civilization.
"That's just hooooorrible"
What ever happened to "throw it down young man!! One time. Throw it down!!!"
Nazr shows his great hands. "Where would you like it next time, Nazr"
"What is a foul?"
“Oh my, Kobe is really putting on a show out there. He’s making Ray Allen look like a sixth grader!”
I remember when the Clips were really awful and I think Magette made a great block. Walton: "That might be the greatest defensive play in the history of Clipper basketball"
"I am going to have a bring an NBA rule book next time to find out exactly what a foul is"
"Manu Ginobili is left handed and promises to be for the rest of the night"
When Dirk is choking. "Where is the competetive greatness by Dirk"
Last season with Smush Parker made a nice play. "Smush Parker has now put himself in the ranks of the Kobe Bryants and Carmelo Anthonys of the world"
This is an unfair comparison. While both drop crap all over the place, an anus serves a purpose. Walton is more like an appendix or an Adam's apple, possibly a mole.
Walton wasn't correcting him, he was agreeing with Durham that there was no travel "called" but there was definitely a travel. If you are going to bag on the guy, at least pick the spots. To quote the Master, "Where would ya like it, Samaki?"
