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.

the man has a teepee in his yard. Hearing him compare Jerry Garcia and John Wooden and similarities is a trip

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.
