Basically, he'll say a couple of sentences, then Bill Walton will take the rest of the hour.

Sometime last year, he was on Mike and Mike one morning, and they introduced him and asked him one question and he literally talked for the rest of the segment without them saying anything. They made fun of him for the rest of the day by pretending they were taking him off of hold to see what was going on.

"Horrrrrible defense by the Cavs!"

"Terrrrrible ball movement and spacing!"

"Coach Wooden would've never allowed that!!!"

"Larry Bird would've KILLED someone if he'd seen that atrocious display of fundamentals!!!"

I want to say listening to Avery has some redeeming quality, but I can't think of what it would be. That voice makes me want to wear earmuffs!
