    of Bill Walton. He's just so awesome. And Nets fans, yes better than Mark Jackson. The random facts he throws out are just so interesting.</p>

    Maybe it's just me, cause I also think Vescey is an interesting read.</p>

    I had a convo with KC about this once. Don't wanna put words in his mouth, but I think we both came fond of how he'll talk about the intangibles in the game. The emotion, the context, its really great.

    These games are nothing. You should have heard him doing Clippers games with Ralph Lawler when the Clippers were really bad.

    I like Walton as well but yesterday he killed it with the puerto rico advertising he did the whole time. it was like he was getting paid by the puerto rico tourism dept to get the word out about their beaches, how coold PR is etc. hahah

    The word is actually "permeate"</p>

    Surprised you haven't heard that one before.</p>

    peremeate- to be diffused through; pervade; saturate</p>

    We use the word a lot in biology and chemistry.</p>

    The past couple of days, FIBA had been losing it's color and I was thinking about not watching last night's game but after the show LeBron put on, I want to see hte rest of this tournament. It was un-believable, he was hitting contested fading jumpers, floaters, dunks, 11-11 and 26 points after 2 quarters.

    Argentina is going to tank tommorow, and then just go all out against USA in the finals game. Tonights game probably won't be worth watching.

    I enjoy his color commentery the only problem I have is it becomes a little bit repetative like speaking of Dalembert getting his citizenship a couple hours before the Canadian roster was announced or how Amare shouldnt work on 3pt shooting just his post game, I must of heard the commentators brings those subjects up 2 - 3 times (Different games ofcourse)

    Bill Walton also needs to give a history lesson about every single little event, he was really annoying tonight but in the past I haven't really minded the broadcasting.</p>
