It all depends what you are listening for. I get a charge out of him. Great entertainment himself.
Don't bogart that Mic my friend pass it over to me.....................
"We dont have trees like this in LA!"
Such a play on words [laughing]

When you blow your mind with drugs and become an announcer you are very entertaining. He is right where he belongs, arms wrapped around a maple tree on the left coast. Very entertaining and colorful.
I had a friend tell me one time, "the more I think about it the less I think about it ."
Reminds me of Waltonisms .

He's my favorite.
But, I'm an ex-stoner and know how to speak pothead. You just have to understand his wavelength and vibes, maaaaaaan.

He's hilarious and I've never heard him get political during a broadcast even though I'm sure he's a far left wacko. A+
The other tools at ESPN could learn from his example

If he wasn't a basketball legend he would be annoying but the fact that he's an all time college hoops great backs him up. Wouldn't jive in the SEC but is PERFECT for the PAC 12 and covering games in California, Colorado, and the Pacific Northwest.
OP probably hates sunshine, butterflies rainbows, angels and puppies too.
Good will be that much better when we whup that azz in the tournament .
He was going snowflaky when he said "just because you don't know what was in that powder, doesn't mean he likes being called a freak" and "freak has a negative connotation". Tie dye tshirts, hugging trees, "the Left coast"... I fully expect a Trump diatribe at any moment, ha! Oh, and the "conference of champions" thing over and over and over and over is getting really old.
I guess I can see the reason some like him. If you don't have a rooting interest in the game and just want to be entertained he might be alright. I watch the games to enjoy what is happening on the floor and don't want to be entertained by the equivalent of Dick Vitale after years of drug abuse. If he was doing one of our games I would probably just listen to the radio. He should just get a YouTube channel and broadcast his ramblings on there.
Is he a "leftist liberal"? I don't know and don't care. As for the drugs though, liberals have always been better druggies. Conservatives are terrible druggies. Bill Maher nailed it saying conservatives are the oxy and meth crowd. Liberals go natural with weed and kale smoothies. That might be Walton's style?
A hippie from cali, he's just annoying to me, no other problem with the guy just don't like him announcing, totally bias with west coast basketball, just heard his comment about Pac12 winning the title this year
