Get over yourself. He simply stated he doesn’t like him and understands other people do. I like him for 3 minutes then have to change the channel.
Did you read my post? I said others like him and that's fine. Not sure where I was seeming high and mighty and needed the attack...
He must have a really good relationship with Jason Benetti because while Iowa State was playing a game at Maui he'd asked Jason if he had ever ridden in RAGBRAI (with the obvious reply of "I don't own a bike").
Probably a top 5 College Center of all time, went 19-20 or 20-21 in the National championship game. Was on his way to being a top 3 NBA Center of all time before all his foot injuries. Damn, the guys been through like 70 surgeries on his feet, back and legs. Seems happy now. He’s having fun with the game. And it’s just a game in case you haven’t forgotten.
Now you're talking sense. BW was the best center in college. Lew Alcindor scored more, and had an unstoppable shot. BW was much tougher in the tight games where Lew/Kareem tended to Bill Russell might have been a better defender but had no where near the offensive skills. No center, with the possible exception of Wilt Chamberlain, had close to the court vision and passing skills.
A funny irony. Both Kareem and Bill were whiners in college. Bitched in every interview how physically they were played. Of course the complaining grew far louder in their early NBA careers. Then, years passed, they got old and retired as enforcers.
I believe he just farted - Benetti asked what was that and Bill said "that was methane gas escaping"!
Well no, its not informative. Its a comedy act.
Its funny to listen to for a few minutes because no one cares about the pac10.
If he was doing an iowa it would annoy me greatly.
All of that is true, especially about Pac 12 basket... nevermind all sports.
Just turned on the Texas/UNC game and already can't stand listening to Walton. I remember liking him in the past, but he sounds bad today. Speech sounds as bad as Lou Holtz.
