I don't dislike him (Walton) as an annoucer,its just that so many others do and I think its a shame a player so great as he was,to be reviled by so many for his performance at something as trivial in comparison as "announcing" is to basketball greatness.Anyone remember Bill Russells announcing stint?It made Walton sound like a genius in comparison.So what?You only get to great at one thing, how unlucky.
