Dude, Luke Walton isn't quick. Scouts comfirmed it, other Laker fans comfirmed it. I watched the whole Suns-Lakers series, and I saw quite a bit of Lakers games on TV, and I didnt see any quickness out of him. Give it up dude.
He is not quick running the ball, but he is quick.He takes little preparation for his shots or passes. When he passes, he makes them quick, and when he shoots, his shots are quick.I do not care if scouts or other fans confirmed it, from what I see, he is quick. If I ever meet him, I will ask him or his teammates, "Is Luke quick?"

Im sure that they watch more NBA basketball than you and other Laker fans are agreeing that he is not quick either. Every post from now on that you put just makes you look more and more stupid. Luke Walton is a mid range jump shooter. That is his niche. And he is a hustler on defense but he is not athletically gifted and he is not fast.
Island, you said it yourself you don't watch every Lakers game. I do, Lakers scouts do, other Lakers fans here do (kind of) and they agree that Luke Walton is not quick.
I don't watch every game because I can't catch them all the time, but I watch most due to NBA League Pass.Hey ballerman, do you like to stalk teenage guys on the internet? Because so far, you never post in the Lakers section and it seems that you're apparently stalking my posts.Every post I make, makes me more hated, but I love it. And it does not make me look stupid. Maybe in your eyes, but what makes you smart? Like I said, I watch most Laker games, and from what I see, in my eyes, Luke is quick off the shot and when he passes.What the proffesional writers say does not mean anything to me. I watch the games, I don't read the articles on my computer.Anyways, it appears someone is insecure about themself and their knowledge of the sport, and I guess they had to find someone they don't like, to flame on. Anyways LAKER FANS, let's move on from what CB4 and I said.

I meant to say, "I know I am smart, so why should I care what you think" but oh well. I wasn't DECLARING myself smart, just informing to the other members that I am no idiot.And no, Lakaboy, I am not joking.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Island @ Jul 25 2006, 08:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>And no, Lakaboy, I am not joking.</div>It's a message board, people don't hate you because they're jealous or something (which is a situation where a quote like that would actually make sense) they just think you're annoying because you push your opinions on people when a lot of times they're ridiculous, you're a bandwagoner, and you're just generally cocky (I don't see what of though).
Haha, explain how I am a bandwagoner.I am a Knicks, Giants, Rangers, and Lakers fan. and in the ufc, none of my fav. fighters are champions.Well, I am cocky, but there is a lot of stuff to be cocky about, but you wouldn't know. I understand exactly why people hate me.I see they hate me because of my opinions.And they're my opinions, and I'm glad people don't like them because you, on the other hand for example, agrees with everybody else on a lot of subjects. I will never stand for something if everybody likes me. And I know everybody does not hate me on this message board. But this is just on message boards that most dislike me.but you know what?<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>(I don't see what of though).</div>That was not neccesary. I just bring the same attitude I have in real life on to the boards. And obviously, how would you guys know what makes me cocky on a forum, right?I never go in a section and say:"I'm the bomb at basketball" (not true)or"I'm a great MMA fighter" (true)but I am indeed cocky of my opinions. But you know, It pisses you all off, well it's my attitude, just comes w/ my posts. I'm not breaking any rules, so, I'll continue to act how I normally am.No reason for you to assume there is no good qualities, or anything I own that I could be cocky about.

I already said, he is quick off the shot and when he passes.I never said he was quick running up the court.

Yes I can. I said he is quick and athletic.Like I said, he is quick off the shot and when he passes.I never said he was not athletic.Can you read, and what are you trying to prove?
No, I am not.He is quick off the shot, and if you watched any of the vids, you'd see it.I don't make myself look bad at all. You just think it's bad because you don't like my opinions throughout the off-topic section. Just shut up CB4, and move on. :happy0144:
