Marc Gasol vs Bill Walton

[r0drig0lac]

walton, and is not even close, if serious?

[Bodhi]

No he's not...Bill Walton was the best defensive player in the league in 78. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Best defensive player not named Kareem

Walton was a better defensive player than Kareem.

As far as defense & rebounding is concerned, peak Walton is up their with Russell. Watch the '77 Finals and see Walton out there defensively, he was everywhere.

Are you serious OP?

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Walton was great....As a defender.........Offensively, there are players in the league right now that were better than him...

He was NEVER on prime Hakeem's level.

yes he was. dude ws a monster and probably would have had a better career than mister 8 times first round loser.( have hakeem in my top 10 doe)

Hm, probably going too far in the other direction. Gasol is a legitimately great player, 77 and 78 Walton was just unquestionably on a higher level.
