I'v just given my reasons for Kleine.

I never forgave Walton for what he did after the 1987 season.  He had been
injured all season.  The Celtics paid him for all season.  And then he just
disappeared!  The Celtics for a time actually did not know where he was!
He seemed like a classic front runner.  When things were going well he was
all ebullient about the Celtics but when things were not so well he
revealed his true colors.  I lost what little respect I had for him.  And
now we have to listen to many of his offensive comments while he is
announcing.
