Well yal two should start one and take the bill Walton talk with ya
He crossed the Missouri River and shook hands with Lewis & Clark. They plan on meeting on Mars in 2025
I enjoy him. Reminds me of my toking days.
Only commemtator who can talk basketball, mountains, bongo drums, volcanoes, Greatful Dead, unicorns and the CONFERENCE OF CHAMPIONS in the same 2 minute period.

I like his awkwardness. He's a national treasure and I enjoy his randomness. If you don't like it, simple, change the damn channel. If you played a drinking game for every time he says "Conference of Champions" or "Please" during one broadcast, you'd be in the hospital of alcohol poisoning.
He would be really annoying if you were a fan of a PAC 12 team and had to listen to his burnt out ramblings all game instead of getting any real commentary.
I like him in part because I’m a Blazers fan but his commentary is unique and hilarious, would love if he did SEC
Love listening to Bill. He has more fun announcing a game than any announcer. Also when I am listening to him doing a game that means I don't have to listen to that sorry ass Duke cheerleader bilas.
They did an NBA game this year. It was a Pacers/Cavs game when ESPN has their annual crossover of NBA/College Basketball announcers go do games for the other sport. Still have it on my DVR. Probably will happen again this season so be on the lookout so you can see it. I remember right before halftime he almost asked to use the restroom on air before catching himself.I'm beginning to like him. Could you see him and Dicky V together ?

As I said before, the talent at ESPN is on a downward spiral. Walton is a comedian who wants you to do as he says, not as he does.
Saying that, if that moves JockItch and Mike Patrick and Bilas away earshot, I'm in for it. I'd rather listen to LaPhonso praising Aaron Boone than listen the those 3.

Bill is funny, but you have to be in the right mood for him.
I'm not sure he's serious more than 20% of the time.

I def think he is always in a playful manner when he says things. I really enjoy listening to the madness
I thoroughly enjoy joy him. He's zany, he'll be a great replacement for Vitale.
He's not an ACC homer, no ace to grind with Kentucky, isn't the same vanilla commentator time and time again.

Walton is like ice cream. I love the first bowl...but 2 bowls gives me that dang brain freeze headache.
Love him. Spent my first 12 years in Portland and was there the year we won it all. (Blazers) it was amazing
Not only you wouldn't know who just scored but with those two, you wouldn't know who was playingI'm beginning to like him. Could you see him and Dicky V together ?
Walton epitomizes all that is wrong with ESPN. He's is simply the worst. Rattles on and on about any and everything except the game he's calling. Comes off as incredibly biased against any but "The Conference of Champions"...(yeah, Bill when was the last title in a major money sport?) and always trumpets his tree-hugging, stoned hippie agendas. The fact that ESPN keeps him on the air says more about that network than any of the nonsensical blabber that come from him.
Heard Bill Walton many times during games he broadcasts refer to Kentucky as the "Gold Standard" of college basketball.

I will say it again, I love listening to Bill. I would rather listen him talk about mountains, volcanos, and Ukraine than listen to those other announcers tell me 50 times a game tell me how great duke is. As far as the game I can watch and make my own opinion about that, and still listen to Bill talk about all the other stuff. The only thing I didn't like about Bill was when he mentioned wooden, the biggest cheater in the history of the game, yes even bigger cheat than north Carolina, and how could Bill possibly mention wooden without also bring up sam gilbert, because wooden wouldn't have been shit.
He's all over the place. Last time I made the mistake of tuning him in, he was on a Liberal rant. Who tunes into a basketball game to listen to a California Liberal burnout? Not me.
