Hall of Famer Bill Walton, 71, dies of cancer
Bill Walton, who won two NCAA titles with UCLA and two NBA championships during a Hall of Fame career, died Monday at age 71 after a prolonged battle with cancer.
Absolute legend and a Dead Head, too!! 💀⚡️🌹
Actually talked at length with Bill at a Ratdog show in Chicago around 2007. And had him block my view at the Fox in Oakland a couple of times. Fare thee well Big Red ❤️
Oh man I didn't know he was battling cancer. His broadcasts are pretty cool to listen to. Gonna miss his voice on the sidelines.
I enjoyed him back in the day as an announcer. Funny at times and very knowledgeable, one of the best before Chuck and Shaq.
A great player that knows how it feels when your body betrays you. Sucks that is ultimately what got him.
RIP
I didn't know he was battling cancer. Man, this is so sad.
