Is Bill Walton on drugs or something?

[marmar]

I'm listening to his usual incoherent babble during the Nuggets-Spurs game, but tonight it's hyper incoherent babble. Gawd I can't stand that man.

1. I love Bill Walton

if for no other reasons than his consistent progressive politics and his frequent grateful dead references :)

I've always liked Walton, though ... I know plenty of people don't share my appreciation for him ...

2. If you like Walton

do yourself a favor and check out his pod-cast. The first couple border on insane, but very funny all around. I like Bill, even though I'm a die hard USC fan and he can't go five minutes without bringing up John Wooden and the "great" Bruin teams of the 60's and 70's. Even though Sam Gilbert paid all the UCLA basketball players! I still would like ESPN to pair him with Brent Musburger, for the sake of unintentional comedy!

Brent: You are lookin' live at a sold out Staples Center......
Bill: That's horrrrrrible!

3. Nah, just residual effects

from all those Dead shows. :)

4. One of his dumbest comments yet, that Eduardo Najera is the only Hispanic in the NBA

Has he ever heard of Carlos fucking Arroyo? I know the Magic just got swept, but he's still a player in the NBA! And do Argentinians not count as Hispanics? Cause you've got four of them in the league, including two playing in that very game!

6. "Eduardo Najera is the only Hispanic in the NBA"

I thought that statement was total bullshit....and he said it with a high degree of certitude. :dunce:

7. Yes he's way wrong

You'd have to rule Spaniards and Argentinians out as "Hispanics" and he'd still be wrong. Barbosa from the Suns is from Brazil; Carlos Arroyo of the Magic is Puerto Rican.

Najera might be the only Mexican NBA player, though.

5. Too much acid in the '60's

Personally I love the guy.

8. Me too.....love him.

I heard him on the Dan Patrick show a lot of times awhile back, and I always though he was very smart on basketball of course, but on the political scene too. Love the guy.......come to think of it, love him almost as much as I love Sir Charles Barkley!!
