I don't like Bill Walton at all. So this is great news. He's retiring from broadcasting.

No longer will we have to hear Walton's awful "Throw it down, big man!" or have to hear him go off on leaving your feet before passing or hear him praise Luke for being the 8th man on the Lakers.

It's a good day, my friends.

5	I appreciate that Walton overcame the stuttering problem he had, but unfortunately, he took that as license to overstate everything. Nobody took a 20 word issue and turned into a 200 word mess like this guy.

1	Liked him better as a player than an analyst.

1	Never let it be said that the man ever exaggerated: “John Stockton is one of the true marvels, not just of basketball, or in America, but in the history of Western Civilization!”

2	I always got a kick out of Walton. Some sillyness is good every now and then.
