In my opinion. Luke will be the next Chick Hearn

I'm calling it. This is destiny. This is what's waiting for Luke Walton when he retires from the game. Hopefully, Luke will have some healthy seasons left, but I won't hold it against him if he hangs them up anytime soon. Because Luke can then retire and take up a gig with Stu Lance calling Laker games. If needed, just sit in with Joel Myer and Stu Lance for a year or two. They have two ESPN guys and Gruden calling Monday Night Football. Just throw Luke in the mix.

Not to mention Luke has his dad Bill as a reference for having a great career in the broadcasting seat too.

It sucks that Luke's back is hurt and he might not play anytime soon, but I'm definitely looking forward when Luke takes on another career.

Give him a lot of coffee before games and have Eminem be his voice coach and he'll talk faster.

I'll check it out when I get the chance.

Here's some irony for you. I am offline from the internet for about 6 months and then when I finally get back on, I got two websites to create.

Oh and I'm going to pull a Lebron and Bosh and take my talents to Florida in a few weeks.

Luke and Bill should call a game together.

If Luke ever does any radio or TV, he needs to earn his spot. Work the minors, do some local TV. you just do not step into the big chair without any real past experience.

He'll be like his dad and have to retire from announcing b/c of his bad back.

Post #16 » by **Slava** » Mon Aug 23, 2010 12:07 am

Only difference is that his dad was actually worth talking about as a player.

He's shown potential. You just haven't looked at his career of the court. Take a look at some of these clips.
