    dude, we booed his ass.

    we were kinda confused cause the pa was talking about Bill's Acomplisments, and had Clyde's video playing, we weren't sure if we should boo or not, but we BOOEd anyway. It was awesome.

    It's about time that the ESPN Commentators stopped discussing their own opinions and described the game as it is played on the court.
    They should be requested to stop mentioning about Tracy Mc Grady and his playoff history. :p From a TV viewer.

    I agree, take walton for who he is - the clown of the ESPN team...I personally love him - he mentions Hakeem at least once a game, has a lot of respect for those Rocket championship teams...How can he be disliked?

    Walton is very animated with his hands too. If you watch the replay, look down at bottom of your screen for the announcers & you can see Walton's hands flying around.

    waltons personality is okay.

    but when he talks, he sounds goofy.

    he's always being OVERLY expressive. thinks he's right all the time.

    listen to him talk...

    HE SOUNDS like a drunk, very drunk to the point of sounding like a DER DER DER from Carlos MEncia, whiny r****d who thinks he's a prophet from the
    Basketball gods.

    I personally love Walton, but that's beside the point. Why was he booed? For beating the Rockets in the Finals in 1986?

    For being, in someone's opinion, a bad analyst?

    For spawning Luke Walton? (If so, that's a good reason.)
