It would help if Walton would actually make enlightening commentary about the actual game in progress in front of him. Instead he spends the entire game boisterously jock riding and felating the Warriors and showing off his encyclopedic knowledge about shit nobody gives a shit about. Biggest self important blow hard on the planet next to he who shall not be named.

I'm embarrassed he was ever a Blazer after the entire country was subjected to that pathetic demonstration.

Don't worry BBert. Someday, somehow, this country will recover. But until then..... persevere my friend.
 
I think Walton coined the phrase "officious jerk." He should have retired after his basketball career rather than torment us with his opinions.

Fuck Rasheed Wallace.

EDIT: In no way am I defending Bill Walton by saying this.

What Sheed said about Walton is pretty much verbatim everything I have ever said about Rasheed Wallace. The guy was a classic underachiever.....and incredibly arrogant about it too. What an utter waste of talent. That so many people on this board consider him to be one of the best Blazers of all time is absolutely ludicrous. He had a journeyman level career at best.

It was the Bjoumte Bjoumte (I sure hope I spelled that right) incident that did it for me. I doubt that Wallace could even spell the word "class". Just a disrespectful punk that should not be getting any kind of air.....

It was an incident at practice. "According to a local paper, at practice the day of the trade, Rasheed Wallace pulled Wells aside, said, "Watch this," then whipped a basketball 100 feet into teammate Ruben Boumtje Boumtje. As the guy writhed on the ground, Bonzi and Sheed "giggled like schoolchildren and ran away."

So fuckin ironic that mister Wallace who was NEVER the man on any team would say something like that. I knew and talked to Maurice Lucas more than Sheed has ever thought about. Lucas said without question Walton was the best center he ever played with and was absolutely the reason the Blazers won that championship. Lucas has said that many times. Not only to me directly but to multiple people interviewing him.
 
Sheed hates the Blazers now. The team that paid him a lot and got him into the playoffs. What a poser

^^^^ going on a stoned drunken rant that Bill Walton "got lucky, he wasn't all that". Then just now learning Rasheed fired a missile that tagged Boumtje Boumtje. This dude hated Portland.

Could be? I just know for fact it’s not true. I was a Server/Bartender about 30 years ago at a very nice restaurant just off Nyberg Rd and I-5. Luke used to come in weekly and have lunch. Have to say he was a very decent guy and a good customer. Mr Nyberg was the owner and Luke and him were pretty close. Obviously I didn’t know Maurice Lucas well but I did get a chance to talk with him a number of times about basketball. On this subject I absolutely know how Luke felt about Walton.
 
When Lenny Wilkins was fired as blazer coach, he said, watch Walton will be healthy next year and they win the championship.

Anybody who watched the Blazers while Walton was playing knows that he was an exceptional player. What Sheed said was just plain horseshit. For the record - I didn't like the way Walton handled things after his injury but no one can deny his skill set prior to that.
 
I love Sheed. I’m one of his biggest fans. But fuck, dawg, Sheed so high in that. As he was when he’d come to Wilsonville Burger King. I saw him often. As good as he was, and he’s a HOFer to me, he should have been the best player in the league during his era. Had that much talent. And he’d destroy today’s league.

Agree with this. I see people say he was the best player on those Pistons championship teams, but, truly, I thought he was their fifth guy. I'm dumbfounded when I read people write he was their best player or the star of the Blazers.

He was always a threat that the other team had to respect, because his overall athletic ability and skills were in the top percentile and he could do things few other players could do. For one play, he was a guy that was beneficial to have. But I didn't think he played hard or got anywhere close to the full extent out of his talent, and I think his sourness and immaturity was a detriment to several teams on which he played. That Pistons team had so many leader-type personalities that he couldn't take them down.

He had more talent and ability than Garnett. He's just weak between the ears.
 
Loved what Sheed was capable of and he was the best player on our team that most recently had the best chance at winning it all but yeah this take on Walton is garbage. I think regardless of if he's conscious of it or not Sheed knows that he was one of the most talented players in the history of the game and didn't come close to living up to his potential and that probably has him pretty bitter.
