- mrcoldcow, on 06/18/2009, -3/+30Luke Walton is Michael Jordan compared to Adam Morrison
- weikerx, on 06/18/2009, -1/+26i'm laughing at the headline so much i've got tears in my eyes.
- BenTheTank, on 06/18/2009, -0/+16If you guys don't know enough about basketball to get this joke, why even read/comment?
- diceau, on 06/18/2009, -2/+16Seems something the Onion can't do is get good comments on digg...
Let me try...
LOL
Ah damn it. - itsmikey, on 06/18/2009, -0/+13...he has... intangibles?
No but really, Phil Jackson probably thinks Walton is a solid player. He hustles his ass off, does what he's told, and gets the odd rebound every now and then. And he's not the worst passer. - shinepdx, on 06/18/2009, -2/+15He is playing because his dad was Bill Walton, who was a kick ass player in his day.
- MrZaiko, on 06/18/2009, -5/+18Luke Walton is one of those dudes you want to just punch in the face...
- jwlennon12880, on 06/18/2009, -2/+13Luke Walton is the reason why white chicks go to Lakers games.
- treas, on 06/18/2009, -3/+13he's not terrible at all actually, he was a pretty significant contributor off the bench for the lakers through the whole post season.
- cromulent742, on 06/18/2009, -1/+11yes, you were
- rwbrinso, on 06/18/2009, -0/+10Good Lord. The entire point is that "Kobe couldn't win without Shaq." And then he did. As some people may know, the Onion dabbles in satire from time to time.
- nathanbutnet, on 06/18/2009, -1/+9Nepotism my good man. Have you heard of his father? Mr. Walton?
- INDOAZZ, on 06/18/2009, -0/+8Kobe BEST in the World! Luke - Your father was awesome...
- Warcrack, on 06/18/2009, -0/+8Buried for spelling Shaq wrong. That's just bad man.
- BenTheTank, on 06/18/2009, -0/+8Dude, even my Mom can spell Shaq
- cromulent742, on 06/18/2009, -0/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Walton
- inactive, on 06/18/2009, -2/+8Anyone want to explain the whole Luke Walton thing.
I guess my question is - if he is such a poor player - why is he playing? - Trusix, on 06/18/2009, -0/+6They probably can't not figure out your double negative.
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -0/+5He's not a terrible player, but the point of this article is to make light of the "Kobe can't win a title without Shaq" situation that's been going on in the league for years. Luke has his moments. He's got a great attitude and volunteered to come off the bench in favor or Ariza, which was a smart move. He's a great passer and he's got some good post up moves, but he gets overly excited in his first minutes of the game and is prone to get offensive fouls and turnovers until he gets going. When you're splitting time with Gasol, Odom, and Ariza you're not likely to get a lot of minutes however.
- Phernoree, on 06/18/2009, -0/+5Bill - "Luke, Kobi-Wan has taught you...well...nothing apparently."
- xxacefirexx, on 06/18/2009, -0/+5His daddy, who is an old school legend, owns part of the Lakers
- mikeknick, on 06/18/2009, -1/+5I doubt white chicks go to basketball games for any white guys, much less Luke Walton. The only people that go to Lakers games for Luke Walton are his parents and whatever gold-digger he's picked up.
- lukemit, on 06/18/2009, -0/+4He looks like that douche Ben Afleck... only douchier
- BenTheTank, on 06/18/2009, -0/+4Imagine being Luke Walton and reading this. Or Bill W.
- vism, on 06/18/2009, -0/+3And so does Adam Morrison and Sun Yue
- mizatt, on 06/18/2009, -0/+3I agree with you about Walton, but it was really funny either way
- marcduke, on 06/18/2009, -1/+4You want to know what's wrong with the NBA? Luke Walton has a ***** ring - that's what's wrong with the NBA. Choke on it David Stern, you're product is garbage.
- hydroponik, on 06/18/2009, -0/+3Win
An onion article that I actually laughed at. - inactive, on 06/18/2009, -0/+2The Onion + sports + Digg = angry humans
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2Morrison is just another over hyped NCAA guy who's able to work within the framework of college ball. When you're in the game with players who are bigger, faster, and more experienced than what you came across in college, most of these guys don't excel. He's a smart player but he doesn't have the athleticism to be in the league. Add diabetes and well.. I'm glad you got a ring during your 3 year bench stint.
- Takfam, on 06/18/2009, -0/+2Because he signed a 6 year deal in 2007.
- Halfempty, on 06/18/2009, -0/+2LOLOL this was a funny article. I like Luke.. Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-ke.. but man does he blow sometimes. I cringe everytime he has possesion. He does that little skip and hop, or commits a dumb foul and raises his arm like "yup, it was me".....
He's lucky he's tall and got Bill as his dad, otherwise he'd be a surfer hanging out at sharkies all day. - inactive, on 06/18/2009, -0/+2Oh god I didn't see the Onion sign at first, I re-read the first paragraph like 5 times thinking "what the hell is Kobe doing?"
Well played, haha. - inactive, on 06/18/2009, -1/+3It's funny because Luke Walton sucks.
- teamr, on 06/18/2009, -3/+5I look like Luke Walton next to Adam Morrison
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1From what I've seen of Luke, he'd probably laugh
- lagmar, on 06/18/2009, -0/+1I think Phil Jackson kept Luke Walton on as a distraction. The other team is sort of in disbelief that he's out on the court, then their concentration is shaken.
- inactive, on 06/18/2009, -2/+3... well that, and all the black dick running around on the courts.
(white chicks LOVE black *****) - Nessa4, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1hahaa
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1He's a roleplayer. I'd agree with you if he was the leader, but you have a team with Kobe, Gasol, Odom, and Bynum. Not to mention great roleplayers like Fisher, Ariza, and Farmar.
- nathanbutnet, on 06/18/2009, -2/+3And btw, 'poor' doesn't adequately describe it. Imagine a donkey trying to compete in the Preakness and you have a good idea of what poor Walton looks like out on the court.
- WIT415, on 06/18/2009, -0/+1They can still laugh all the way to the bank.
- inactive, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1I love any U of A product who wins!
- JCEEZ, on 06/18/2009, -0/+1Dude, lets be real, the fact that his father is Bill Walton has A LOT to do with the fact that he has a career in the NBA.
- laksho2k10, on 06/23/2009, -0/+0except how to win a championship
- laksho2k10, on 06/23/2009, -0/+0ha...i never realized that til now...lol
- ScottyAnimal, on 06/18/2009, -2/+2Luke Walton looks like a post op tranny.
- poppyfire, on 06/26/2009, -0/+0Maybe you'd be more at home with this story:
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/awful_man_off ...
Your comment reminded me of this, particularly your last line zinger.
i.e. I'm calling you a douche. - cubicledrone, on 06/18/2009, -2/+2People who can't climb a flight of stairs without wheezing and then criticize professional athletes are fail.
Let's get the top three players from team smartass and have them play Luke Walton to five one-on-one. Walton will dunk a 15-0 shutout while eating a sammich. -
