Ya'll have great points and all, I'm not going to defend Bill Walton at all, however, being over judgemental doesn't get rid of this guy, he's lucky to be alive #1, he's been blessed with a gift to be able to do what he does and he loves to do because when he attended UCLA, he had the world's worse studdering problem, so for him to even put a sentence together is a blessing in it's own. He's had over 15 back, neck and knee surgeries as well as ankle surgeries in his career, so he's probably got a pretty good pain killer high going on when he's announcing games, and the FOX and ESPN network when they give him games, they always seem to give him games with a young and upcoming announcer, perhaps it's done that way to give them the perspective of where Bill is as an announcer and not to be like him, but just to admire what he's done and he's able to do, because so many of us probably take the gifts we were given for granted!
There, that's my 2 cents!!
And for pain tolerance of listening to his games, I turn the volume down and just watch the game, I don't need to here it!! LOL. I can see what's going on the court if I'm paying any attention to the game!
