    Great vid, tinman. But I think you should have asked Bill if he liked Rick Adelman instead though. lol

    Kudos to tinman's classic interview.

    The perfect question in a Tinman exclusive interview should be:

    "Which team would win it all, if the Dream's Rockets met Jordan's Bull in the finals?"

    Thanks for sharing the vid. :p

    but that's good, cause he's the same person off camera as he is on camera.
    walton loves talking nba, he would do it for free.

    i knew the answer to Rick Adelman before he even said anything. So that actually was not a good question, 99% of NBA people consider him a great coach and even a HOF coach.

    The only people who think Rick Adelman is a bad coach are found here on Clutchfans. His record speaks for itself. Oh how quickly we forgot what happened last year.

    I didn't want to ask him any old school Rockets questions cause that'll add to the urban legend that I only care about the 90s Rockets.

    The main thing I wanted to ask is what he thought about the Rockets chances of winning the title and about Yao. The JVG question was just for laughs.

    I'm surprised he wrote the Rockets off, flat-out.

    I'd think he's at least venture to say that, 'If they gain some momentum and gell at the right time, who knows what could happen? That's why they play the games, and that's why I show up to work'...

    nice job tinman sadly it looks like walton believes that the lakers, celtics and cavs are just heads and shoulders above everyone else right now which is true.


    good interview

    bill loves basketball good thing you didnt ask him about UCLA I did once when he came to visit one day and he just gushed on and on.

    If I can find Michael Jordan, I would ask him this question.

    "if the Rockets replaced Tracy McGrady with the late 90s version of you, would get us passed the first round of the playoffs?"

    and I would ask him if "who's the better defender Vernon Maxwell or Ron Artest, since they both have guarded you"
