Walton to fill in on Laker broadcast


Sorry not poppa Walton but actually Luke himself. He's going to fill in on the radio broadcast as color commentator. I know he has a face for radio but does he have a voice for it (sorry couldn't resist that old joke)? Would someone listen in and give an analysis on his performance. I would like to know if he has a future in broadcast or if he should quit while he is ahead. Here's the link to the story

Hahah

I joked about Phil assigning Joel Meyers to garbage time and Luke Walton to play by play about a week ago…seems I was almost right!

Luke has the voice

You either have the voice or the personality or both. Hearn had the personality and B. Walton had both. Luke has the voice but he seems too melow and laid back. Who knows it might work. If he works out I wonder if Mitch could do a color commentator trade for Luke and that guy from the Pistons?… do it Mitch!

the real question is: are the Lakers paying Luke for this?

or does it come out of his ridiculous contract?!

Heres a new mix I made.

Kobe hasnt always been known as a clutch player. In game 5 of the 1997 Eastern Conference Semifinals, he missed a shot to win the game in the 4th quarter and 2 three-pointers to tie the game in the last minute of overtime, all of the shots being airballs. With that the Utah Jazz ended the playoffs for the Lakers in the 2nd round. Shaquille O'Neal commented years later that "Kobe was the only guy who had the guts at the time to take shots like that."

Ever since that horrible experience in his rookie year, Kobe has worked harder and has learned how to make those shots with the game on the line. This vid features some lines from Carmelo Anthony's Become Legendary commercial as well as some of Kobe's recent gamewinners.

Enjoy!
Kobe Game Winner vs Raptors - Whoa, I watched this and then I read the comments on Youtube claiming Kobe travelled, which I had not heard of. Then, after watching a few times, I have to say, I agree, Kobe changes his pivot foot before putting the ball down on the floor. I also think there's no way a ref catches that in real time, and even if they do, they can't be sure enough to call it then, either.
