c'mon walton sux?
c'mon walton sux?
lute said he played on 70% ankles all year ... hes a class kid and total team player ... why doesnt JJ Reddick suck, or Hinrich, or JG when they have horrible games ... I talked to a top Pac-10 player and he said Walton was the best all around player hed ever gone against ...
and for the record his dad was the best college player I have ever seen
and if you wanna argue, ask John Wooden, he would say the same thing, in fact the Wiz says (ive read about 4 of his books) that "Bill and Kareem were the best two I ever coached but if you had to push me, Bill might be a better all around player, maybe not more dominant, but as far as all aspects, no one was better than Bill."
People forget had walton not broken his foot after Portland started 50-10 after their first NBA Title, they'd have odds/on won another ... the guy had foot/bone/leg structure more delicate than a Flamingo's ... too bad his son seemed to inherit it ...
Sorry, I lost biggest bet of tourney on Zona too and Walton missed some big FTs. but he hardly sucks, he drew numerous fouls, had 10 rbs and 6 assists, most for any Wildcat .. Lute gave up on Salim 1-4 21 mins; JG was mediocre as usual in his sr. year, his early TOs sophomoric and crucial to KS early confidence ... and moreover, credit Hinrich's guts and Graves 6-6 from field and 15 RBS--those were not expected ....
great game, someone had to lose, am I disappointed, sure, i had Zona 5/1 to win NC and KY 18/1, tuff day ... but Luke also shot 67% from line today and that is exactly the D1 avg over the last 40 years ...
ok, Im done, just dont like seeing people kick damn good players when they dont have any facts backing their arguments
take care, gregg
