"You look at his body, Dwyane Wade, it's as if Michelangelo sculpted it in a dream," Walton said. "He's just so cut, and his posture, the rack upstairs with those shoulders, so broad."

Walton sounded like he was man-crushing there.  |

| Quote: | | On Kobe's offseason weight training: "The added muscle and bulk from pushing that steel and the natural maturation process now enables this grandmaster to regularly accomplish the unimaginable without dragging around excessive bulk and baggage. Most top players get to the point where they truly believe that anything is possible. Most are also governed by gravity, the laws of physics and self-regulating mental control mechanisms. Kobe has left all these behind. The extra strength and stamina have made him a superior 3-point shooter, a most dominant defender and arguably the game's top rebounder." |

OMG Walton quotes infest the net like a bunch of crabs...
Speaking of man-crush...
On Kobe's offseason weight training: "The added muscle and bulk from pushing that steel and the natural maturation process now enables this grandmaster to regularly accomplish the unimaginable without dragging around excessive bulk and baggage. Most top players get to the point where they truly believe that anything is possible. Most are also governed by gravity, the laws of physics and self-regulating mental control mechanisms. Kobe has left all these behind. The extra strength and stamina have made him a superior 3-point shooter, a most dominant defender and arguably the game's top rebounder."
“Phil had Michael (Jordan) and the upper hand against Riley in the past, but this time Riley comes in with Shaq. Phil is the underdog now.”
"Head-to-head and everything being equal, San Antonio is still the better team. But San Antonio has never been able to repeat as champions because injuries have always been a factor. They win their championships after they have a short season the year before.”
8)
Exchange between he and Tom Hammond: “John Stockton is one of the true marvels, not just of basketball, or in America, but in the history of Western Civilization!” Tom: “Wow, that’s a pretty strong statement. I guess I don’t have a good handle on world history.” Bill: “Well Tom, that’s because you didn’t go to UCLA.”
"I have always wanted to be part of something special, and when I got to Boston... actually, when I bought, begged and pleaded my way onto the Celtics... it was already a championship team. I was just glad to be able to sit there and cheer and to be Larry Bird's valet, to be sure that his shoes were fine and his uniform was folded neatly.”
"I'm mainstream. Always have been."
"Eric Piatkowski makes perhaps the greatest defensive play in Clipper history!”
Tony Parker makes a pass, which gets deflected out of bounds by an opposing defender. Spurs ball, no big deal... Walton roars: "Tony Parker just made the worst pass... in the history of Western Civilization!"
Gorillamask has the best ones, Thinkexists are pretty good too. |

On Piatkowski's regular flat-footed layup:
"Look at those hops. Absolutely phenomenal play by Piatkowski!" |

| My favorite was when Shaq once turned and buried his shoulder into a defender, knocking him over and Walton exclaimed, "What footwork!" |

Walton is usually good for something off the wall. It doesn't have to make sense. Distraction can be entertaining.

"when everyone thinks alike, nobody thinks"
"Olowokandi with the jump hook ala Hakeem Olajuwon"
"the Spurs have lost complete control of this game, they look absolutely confused and disorganised" the Spurs were down by 1pt to Miami and ended up winning the game.
Oh Bill Walton, a legend in his own mind.
