[edit] Politics?

My edit was reverted by someone without explanation. He was a basketball player; why do we care how he votes? If it stays, it should be cited.Dubc0724 19:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inducted

Bill Walton was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993.

[edit] Height

Bill Walton's height should be added to the article and i assume it was about 7 feet but its not given and i assume he played center that i dont see that either ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.214.45.153 (talk) 12:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

other websites give his height as 6 feet 11 inches —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.214.45.153 (talk) 17:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I changed around some of the wording in the article, it's pretty sloppy as it stands. If users could be on the lookout for bad grammar and questionable comments based on the writer's point of view, that'd be just peachy.JohnnyRush10 08:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] broadcasting

"In addition, his commentary during games is often criticized for his frequent use of hyperbole."

I don't know if he's really criticized for it. From what I've seen, his over-the-top Waltonisms are part of what makes him popular. I certainly know that's why I find him entertaining. Johnnyt471 (talk) 00:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
