California.

In the same vein, Jerry Lucas'kid signs with Vanderbilt. I don't
have his stats in front of me, but he was highly recruited by
his father's Alma Mama, Ohio State.

LSU-

Before you get too excited about Bill Walton's kid, come down
to Virginia and take a look at John Havlicek's kid.
Genes don't mean that much when it comes to basketball.

Thanks for the info George!
How about that!?!?!?!
I know Dale brought Walton in to coach Shaq etc, but after Walton's
criticism (totally unjustified) during the NCAA Indiana-LSU game
how could this happen? I guess Bill didnt think Dale was such a bad
coach after all?

I find it kind of humorous that Walton's son is going to LSU. Maybe
Dale will hire Bill as an assistant coach :)

I have to agree with Mr. Navarre (pinhead sounds so cheap, small. I like
Mr. Navarre better:) ) about his analysis of IU-LSU. The score was 27-13.
The Shaq was tired. Dale calls a timeout and rests Shaq. Play resumes and
Jamal Meeks hits a 3-ptr. LSU was playing the correct defense. They
were laying off of Meeks and putting more pressure on Cheaney and Anderson.

Well, after Meeks hits the 3, Dale brings the Shaq back in but IU scores
the next 5 points to close to 27-21. If anyone is to blame, Jamie Brandon
put up a couple of bonehead shots twice down the floor which IU scored on
at the other end.

At halftime, the Shaq had 7 pts, 3 blocks and 4 alters.Just after halftime,
Bill "Suck it UP or puke it out" Walton says that the Shaq was never
the same after Dale pulled him in the first half. I believe the Shaq
finished with 35 points and 6,003 rebounds and 456 alters. Also the
Shaq was like 12-12 from the line. Shaq couldn't have been out of the game
more than 1 minute and the balance of the game shifts.....NOT!

I thought that he and Shaq had an uncanny resemblance
in the Reebok comercials. 8-)

Nah... otherwise Jalen would be on one of those new comedy
shows...

Jimmie Walker was a hotshot guard for Providence in the 60's...
had a decent career in the pros.

Either that, or the Stilt has been single-handedly been keeping the condom
business afloat for the last 30 years.

Obivously, Jazzy, you haven't watched Jalen try to play point guard, because
that's given me more laughs than anything I've seen on Saturday Night Live
for the last ten years.
