Walton's paean to Boris Diaw is one of the most frequently quoted "great announcing moments" amongst my friends. I am certain that never before has a basketball player been compared to the "age of the romantics." In an announcing jump-cut nearly as jarring as the famed cut from 2001, Walton takes us from an otherwise forgettable 10 point Suns win over the Lakers, 201 years in the past to Beethoven's Symphony Number 3 in E Flat.

Pac-12 basketball fans, get excited.
