Bill Walton working the Arizona - Colorado game.

[Robcatt24]

Is it smart to have Walton call a game in a state that has legal recreational pot?

Love his random comments.

Right in the middle of an Arizona fast break, Walton just says, "Wasn't today a nice day?".

Walton is a national treasure. Love that dude.

When is he not stoned?

 

[andreIGUODOLLAsigns4UK]

By far the best in the biz. And yea I know he's making the most of his time in Boulder, one of the prettiest cities I can think of. Would love to live there.

Not only are you dressed like a cop, you're acting like a cop

 

[Robcatt24]

Now he's rambling about Mork from Ork and how he was a symbol of hope, or something like that.

Bong resin is hard to clean out of one's system. Still, I wonder how much of Bill's shtick is playing to his reputation and how much is genuine. I'm not a stoner but I am more than capable of coming up with silly, off the wall, inane drivel on command. I'm sure that's pretty obvious from my posting history, though.

I dig Walton because he's so mellow and outrageous at the same time.

I did a lot of toking back in the day, and it's just a different vibe than kickin' it with you squares.

He cracks me up, I enjoy his commentary especially when he says something with "please" at the beginning or end. Conference of champions crap gets old but he doesn't drool over every player like most do.

You used to post much more sillier stuff (in a good way). Not as much lately.

Lived there couple years, it's pretty but......

Too much time traveling...makes me grumpy. Typing this sitting in Charlotte waiting on an 11:56 flight out. My back and knees are complaining...loudly.

Understandable.

Kinda like me..

ESPN has found a nice niche for Walton by only giving him these late night West Coast games where his rep as basketball's weird-talking grateful-dead-loving hippie stoner fits damn well.

If he were on at 8:00/prime time a lot of "serious" basketball fans would be pissed off and complaining about his weird ass commentary. But most of those serious folks have gone to bed before the Walton game, and the ones left up are precisely the ones in the mood for his schtick.

I think Bill did a loooooot of acid

 

[Blueworld_3.0]

They opened the broadcast with his co-anchor (Dave Pasch is his name maybe?) saying "Instead of preparing for the game yesterday, Bill engaged in another random act of weirdness...."
Best opening ever.

Idk I just really love the area. Colorado Springs, manitou, Denver, Aurora, Boulder. Just driving on the highways looking to your left seeing an entire city below you, then to your right is another city below you, at the same time seeing the prettiest mountain view you can think of. To me it's heaven.

Walton is a credit to people that stutter. If you've ever heard his story, he stuttered bad and worked diligently to overcome it.He's a credit to people with speech impediments. Have all the respect in the world for him. Also an athlete that would probably have achieved greatness were in not for the injuries. .

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Walton was great last night. I loved the cop comment.

He asked if Kentucky was a college team then said they look like an NBA team to me.

He was anti Villanova getting a high seed.

He also was ragging on someone else that always disappears in tourney. Virginia.

Walton calling UCLA CAL tonight.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Cal could make the final four.

Is there a way to find out which games he will be calling as part of the announcer crew? I'll stay up for any game that he's a part of, if I only knew when he's on
