Bill Walton/Steve "Snapper" Jones Appreciation Thread

[Majestic Pape]

I'm watching the Lakers/Kings Game 1 from the 2001 season, and listening to these two is pure hilarity. Bill Walton is the GOAT in basketball announcing and Snapper Jones was consistently going for that shyt.

Even Mike Breen was bearable back in those days. Plus the NBC theme music was

Snapper and Bill Walton need to be on somebody national broadcast team....they can carry any play-by-play man.

This thread is a serious case of revisionist history. I HATED them on NBC. Walton was too quirky (even tho he is funny) & Snapper was aggravating to listen to over the course of a 3 hr game

GOAT moment between them, imo


Jones: ".....Phil Jackson and the patented triangle offense"

Walton: "You can't patent geometry Steve"

The best ones were when they were doing the Western conf playoff games back in the mid 90s.

if you don't like bill walton's mic skills, then you're an a$$hole.

"If Eric Piatkowski continues playing at this level, he’s going to replace Jerry West on the NBA logo."

Them 2 were straight comedy back in the day. Bickering back and forth like 2 old married people

false. Maybe YOU hated them, but dont talk that revisionist nonsense. Them nikkas were good, and was jokes

 

[Dirty D]

GOAT announcing duo.

Best moment was when there was some ugly play with guys diving for balls and falling all over the place, and they have this exchange:

Walton: "That's a foulll!"
Snapper: "On who??" (nobody touched anyone else, Snapper incredulous)
Walton: "On the game of basketball!"

Robert Sarver had the vision to somehow acquire Boris Diaw. And when you look at Boris Diaw and what he's done to this franchise he's changed everything. We celebrate his brilliance and when you talk to Boris Diaw you realize what a classical human being he is. It was 201 years ago today, Beethoven@s Symphony No. 3 in Eflat, which escorted in the age of Romanticism in music. And when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the Romantics. This guy has it all.
