    A great week for national coverage: first no Doug Collins return, Magic Johnson leaving and now Walton might be back for some games, how awesome would that be! He did Sacramento Kings games sometimes and since he wants to limit his travel time, he might do Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, Blazers and Kings games.

    When I saw this, my first thought was that this could be the greatest comeback in history of civilization. Bill Walton truly is the most unique announcer on this and every other planet in the universe.

    He did one Kings game last year and it was amazing. Talking about how Chuck Hayes was a ballerina defying the laws of gravity. Please let this happen.

    I remember him doing a Kings game a year or two ago, and out of nowhere he started talking about how beautiful Yao Ming's spirit was, and how we could all learn a thing or two from Yao. Sacramento wasn't even playing the Rockets that night.

    Hope so. Very entertaining. I wonder what he thinks big men should do?

    One time we put in Recasner for a late second 3 and Walton goes, "Recassssner?!!?" dumbfounded, as if he had no clue who Recasner was (understandable)... Recasner proceeds to hit the 3 (he always did).

    NOOOOO!!!!!

    Bill Walton in the absolute worst commentator! Doug Collins might be the best out there except for JVG!

    Seriously you don't like Walton. He can singlehandedly make a game interesting.

    If true, this is great news indeed.
