Favorite Walton moment: Vladimir Rodmanovic was hitting a bunch of threes one game for the Sonics and Walton says: “When Michaelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel, he was struck by a bolt of lightning, and the end result was Vladimir Rodmanovic”.

Close second: “Robert Horry is the greatest inbounds passer of all time”

“AND THE BIG TICKET THROWS IT DOWN!!!” Loved that call from Harlan back in the day.

Love(d) this call from Harlan…

Isn’t Harlan “WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE!!!”… love that shit.

Harlan is the tits on the NBA. His “right between the eyes” and ” ____ is an assassin!” is the shit, too.

Also, Bill Walton never really did it for me. Too much hyperbole and weirdness, probably from all those drugs he did.

A couple of years ago he was doing a Lakers game, and after a bad pass by his Luke resulted in a turnover, Bill unleashed this gem: “teerrrrrible pass by Walton. I have failed him as a father.”

That just made me bust out laughing at my desk. He’s the best.

My favorite Walton moment was a couple years ago. I was flipping through and the Nets were playing someone and Bostjan Nachbar flopped and Walton goes “That is ridiculous. Don’t flop. That is pathetic. It should be a crime.” Tirico starts chuckling and goes “A crime? What kind of crime would it be?” and Walton goes without missing a beat..”A crime against human decency.” I was dying.

Great story… That made me laugh.
