Bill Walton may have committed some form of blasphemy when it comes to the basketball world. On a college broadcast of Oregon vs USC, Bill Walton spoke about Michael Jordan’s physical skills in an unflattering way.
Basically average size, strength, speed, and jumping abilities? Wait, what Michael Jordan is he talking about? Not Michael Jeffrey Jordan, right? Walton was making the case that Kareem is the number one player in NBA history and even was saying that Jordan isn’t even top three. I don’t know how to take that. I mean, his opinion that Michael Jordan isn’t top three is a little wacky, but it is based on personal taste. So fine, I won’t kill him on that but to say Michael Jordan was average in size, strength, speed and jumping abilities? Unless he is talking about his time in college, being that he is calling a college game, then I would co-sign 100% but in the NBA he went to another level physically. That is just a down right troll move right there.
