Volcanos? And Vegas headliners?

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Former Trail Blazer Bill Walton is rapidly becoming the Werner Herzog of basketball commentary. Between talking about milking and being milked, his strong opinions about American drug policy and his insistence on calling players by nicknames that don’t really make a lot of sense, Walton has provided some of the biggest “Wait -- what?” moments in college basketball. But this one might take the cake.
