Really? :roll: Isn't Superman barely 21? What's this all about? Does he do his research first before he talks or what?

Do you hear him riding Shaq's nuts right now after calling him out a week ago?

Walton is an idiot.

Walton is a white Charles Barkley, but with a 40 point lower IQ.

No chance that he is in his prime, I can really see improvement of his foot work, post moves and maybe even some range with a jumper or a sky hook.

If you're going to say Walton has a low IQ then that's proof that you know nothing.

Strange: I would put it the other way around. ;-)

But more seriously: I like and appreciate both - for on-court performance AND for off-court laugh. :D

Obviously Howard is NOT in his prime, but lets not fool ourselves with his age. He still has a lot of room to improve, but I would say his prime, will start at an earlier age then others, simply because he did not go to college.

Hell, just look at LeBron. Sure, he is not technically old enough to be in his prime, but does anyone really think he is going to improve tremendously before he hits 27 or so years old, which should be his natural prime?

I expect Dwight to improve quite a bit over the next 3-4 years, but after that, I really do not expect much improvement. His prime WILL start earlier than others.

Walton's just jealous that Superman makes him look like a fruitcake.

The thing I remember most is him criticizing Kobe for making a trade demand.

Here's a guy who demanded a trade and then sat out an entire season in protest when he didn't get his wish.

Bill Walton is an bonafide dummy.

Also, doesn't anyone here notice that ESPN is desperately trying to recreate the greatness of Inside The NBA by trying to write a sense of "attitude" between Stephen A. Smith and Bill Walton? Nice try BSPN..

The only thing the NBA on ESPN/ABC has is Hubie Brown and Mike Tirico, and to a much lesser extent Jeff Van Gundy.

Besides that, its trash in comparison to TNT.

He is in his athletic prime, but he'll definitely improve his basketball skills.

He must've been referring to Orlando Tmac.

Uhh, wtf? 22 years old does not equate to your prime. Get this moron off the air.

Walton is a mental case.
