Thank goodness. His broadcasts are always about him. Sometimes I might learn something, but he's terribly unengaged and too full of himself.

Although I wasn't a big fan of his when he was the coach at I.U. as a broadcaster for college basketball I think he was the best out there. jmo

He is very good at breaking down the game. Unfortunately, the fact that he's a misrible SOB gets in the way of his job, and always has.

I loved him, thought he added a really unique perspective. Hell, I love Walton even more. Less nuts and bolts broadcasting, more characters

I enjoyed his commentary but more enjoyed both his curmudgeon old man nuttiness and being able to hate him. Kind of like aggies in that way.

I'm a Laker fan an to this day I'm still wondering how Luke Walton was on the roster. Bill's broadcasting drives me to drinking.

I love Bill Walton! I miss the days of him and Steve Snapper Jones on NBA on NBC. Bob Knight is ok.

Walton is incredible. The best thing about him is he knows he isn't taken seriously and he doesn't care

I am always entertained when Walton is on. I think he whips the play by play guys arse with his
off the wall insights, but that is fun too. He is a true historian of the game and he is always
reminding me of the old guys that I grew up following.
