i do think luke is a very smart dude and want hear how he does...


disclaimer, i am not asking for an illegal site...


I forgot the name of it, but John Ireland did mention of a streaming site on ESPN Radio the other day. I think it was an interview with Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers when he mentioned it.

Luke Walton on the radio was AMAZING!!! No joke, he broke down everything... for a basketball junkie like me it was simply awesome. His basketball IQ is off the charts and his color commentary was the best, most intelligent analysis I have ever heard from anyone, past or present. Seriously, this guy should be a color commentator once he retires, I totally understand why he is on the team now, he 'thinks' the game extremely well. It's the style of commentary I prefer.

Hot Rod pretty much sucks, but whatever. I can respect him as a Laker. I haven't really been feelin' Stu too much recently, perhaps it's just that I've been listening to him call every game now for about 15 years and I feel kinda burnt out on his repetitive catch phrases. I'm sure it could be worse, I just think I need a fresh new voice. Trust me I am not a Stu hater (Stu's a pimp, and was DOPE with Chick) but hearing Walton makes me think that we should go out and get the smartest basketball mind we can find.

ya man this hotrod guy is a joke...he actually commentated for Utah 30 years? those poor fans. His style is basically a 70 year old man watching as a fan (complete silence and once in a while "THATS A 3 POINTER!!) wtf?

Any pod cast for Luke? He sounds legit.

I thought Luke was going to be doing play by play on TV during this road trip.
