"Throw it down big man! THROW IT DOWN!""Kobe will not be denied on or off the court""It's a critical game, the battle for 10th place!""Larry Johnson, who spent the last 48 hours railing against the world, what a pathetic performance by this sad human being. This is a disgrace to the game of basketball and to the NBA. He played like a disgrace tonight. And he deserved it."
"Throw it down, big man!

I don't listen to him that much, only when the Cavaliers play on Sunday's and he is calling the games.IMO, He is just flat out annoying.
That's why on Friday night, I watched the Wizards play on CSN instead of ESPN because I didn't want to listen to him go on and on about a bunch of nonsense; then hear him insult Jon Barry saying something like "What do you mean he stepped on the back of his foot on purpose? He shouldn't have got the foul! You're an idiot!"
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.""Mick Jagger is in better shape than far too many NBA players. It's up in the air whether the same can be said of Keith Richards."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.??Patrick Ewing used to be much better in every aspect of the game.? (After Ewing clanged a free throw, before he had even left the Knicks.)"Kenyon Martin is the 2nd best player in the Eastern Conference.""But you have to understand, my beard is so nasty. I mean, it's the only beard in the history of Western civilization that makes Bob Dylan's beard look good."?Eric Piatkowski makes perhaps the greatest defensive play in Clipper history!??Oh my, Kobe is really putting on a show out there. He?s making Ray Allen look like a sixth grader!?"Manu Ginobli is one of the greats. Not just of this generation, but of all time."More Larry Johnson railing: "Why would the Pacers ever double-team Larry Johnson? He wants to be double-teamed so he can pass. Why is Indiana double-teaming a man who only scores 8 points a game?""Memo to Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker: Couldn't you wait until at least the All-Star break to have the franchise suffer its worse loss in its storied history? Bill Russell just called looking for an address to send his 11 championship rings back to the Celtics because he is so disappointed."
"John Wooden, my shaman, spiritual guide, and life coach taught me 99.9999999% of everything I know about basketball but Larry taught me everything else and so much more""That's Teeeerrrriiblle""Tony Parker looks like he's going to be the first player in NBA history to score all his teams points in a game""The fate of western civilization rests upon the shoulders of chuck hayes""They should add Mike D'Antoni to mount rushmore""Little Stevie Can't be more than 5'9""Little Stevie has no muscles and can't jump over two pieces of paper, yet he one the MVP over 8'5" shaquille o'neal. This is truly a great day for western civilization""Thank you Stevie, you saved basketball""Larry Bird was an unbelievable rebounder who knew where the ball was going to go and he did all this without being able to jump over two pieces of paper.?"Dirk Nowitsky can't jump over two pieces of paper"
I love Bill Walton. He really isn't an announcer he is more of a color man for the people that talk more. But his comments are always hilarious and I like him also because in his heart he is rooting for the Lakers.(Luke Walton is on the team) and he is a fan of Kobe which I respect. My most memorable quote from Bill is "Throw it Down Big Man, Throw it Down!" I also love him because of his UCLA BRUINS History. :worthy:

"Brendan Haywood showing shades of hakeem olajuwan IN THE PAINT!"have you noticed that everyone shows shades of other players in this world, soon he'll be saying that Yao is showing shades of spudd webb.
I think hes real funny with his choice of words. He can pull it off due to his enormous vocab. I personally believe that he does try to be sarcastic 70% of the time, and he does a good job at it.
