Default Bill Walton

I personally think he is a horrible announcer.

But he really was a great player before he
was injured. His championship year with Portland
was really a great team effort, and Walton basically
made it all work.

He would be mentioned right up with all the great
centers had he not been injured. He had that innate
feel for the game that one does not see often. Passed,
rebounded, great D, quick feet, a great touch around
the basket. He was complete.

So much better than his son. Kinda feel sorry for Luke,
but I guess I should not.

Bill Walton has to be the closest thing to God that is walking the planet right now I would think.

At least he makes an effort
to go after
the ball.

So they go 3 guards instead.
Better than the effort they get from
RAd tonight.
