God awful announcer, but if your team isn’t playing and you’re high/drunk enough the guy is hilarious
Bill Walton is the best

He's hilarious. Makes a shitty PAC 12 game much more entertaining.
Bill is FUBAR and needs to get the H*ll off TV
Watched part of the USC-Colorado game the other night and a player for Colorado got hurt and went to locker room. Paraphrasing here but Bill starts talking about getting an ambulance and going to the hospital or something in that order and his sidekick got upset saying, “ Bill you can’t tell people that, he’s not going in an ambulance.” The guys a nut case. I can only watch about 10 minutes of any game he does.
I watched part of that too. I have made my feelings on Walton known but he was going off on how the play by play hated some player from Colorado when Walton was talking about him. Per usual, he wouldn't stop. The pbp interpreted him and Walton said something like I knew you would make me stop talking about this guy since you hate him. The pbp said that he just wanted him to stop talking since the game was going on.
Lol... I despise him.
I watched some of the "Conference of Champions" game last night, and one of the last things I remember hearing was the PBP guy saying......"anyway, back to the Basketball Game"! LOL!
Bill Walton is "out there", but he's harmless I guess. Seems to enjoy life and doesn't take himself too seriously, so what the hell.
“The Conference Of Champions!”
Love the guy...he is the result of a lifelong research of marijuana, so beware! But I love the guy..He was one helluva basketballer too. Bad feet and all...

Walton’s story of when Wooden kicked him off the UCLA team because he wouldn’t get a hair cut is priceless.
He jumped on his bike and got his hair cut immediately and hair was never an issue again.

Can you imagine Wooden doing that in the times we find ourselves in now?
That is why God allows us all to die....I think about all those old school coaches and today’s times...and no, I can’t. But then, I have heard from more than one, that no coach was any nastier on the bench towards officials than Wooden. Be could..and would really ride their butts at times.
Walton talks about Wooden’s first day of practice every year, consisted of showing his players how to put on their basketball Sox ( you ROLL them on over your foot and up your ankle...never pull them on!) and how to put on and lace up your basketball shoes! It took 90 minutes...practice over...attendance was mandatory.
Listening to Bill is 1000% better than listening to Vitale. Vitale makes me want poke my ear drums out.
Walton is a bit of an acid casualty, but he is very upbeat and entertaining. I enjoy him.
I can’t stand either one, personally. Give me someone like Fran Frascilla or Gary Thompson back in the day. Walton and Vitale give me heartburn.
Who had better outlet pass? HOF for sure if not Hurt. Pot in Moderation? Oh Well. Not my Problem. Nor Bill's.....
He would be cancelled immediately for not letting kids express themselves and show how they "feel".
Watched about 10 minutes of the oregon asu game after ours. It was hilarious how the other announcer just ignored him when he went on one of his idiot ramblings about the ou center growing up in africa on a diet of all peanut butter. Meanwhile asu has a nice play on the other end and he doesn’t even acknowledge it bc he’s still rambling about peanut butter 🤣
I want to go out for a walk because it’s so nice out but I can’t miss a minute of Walton.
I learn so many fun facts about the world during each of his broadcasts.

I can take Walton in moderation. He has some great stories to tell and had a great college career and a more moderate pro career due to his injuries. When he was healthy, he was as good as it gets. Listened to a major chunk of the UCLA/Marquette game last night but missed his take on the dispersal of the PAC 12 teams. Did he express his thought on the breakup of the Conference of Champions?

MD player throws bad pass into the crowd...Walton" who is he passing it to, Jim Morrison?"
Talks of Morrison meeting another Bruin while at UCLA, Ray manzerak. Tangent city.

Exactly why the discriminating basketball fan LOVES Bill Walton!
His commentary often exceeds the action of the game…And you have to love his “Pac12…the conference of Champions!”
I’m thinking with the disappearance of the Pac12, his announcing days are done… He is very critical of UCLA joining the B10.
Not a Cyclone fan, but Gary Thompson was good at what he did. Best Big 8 analyst of all time.
I want to be watching when he implodes about the death of the PAC 10. I know he has commented but hasn't went full meltdown yet that I know of. I feel it's coming.
Bill Walton just congratulated Caitlin Clark on becoming the #2 scorer during his game broadcast.
