RIP Bill Walton

[UpstateSM]

So many Thursday nights staying up for the late P12 game just to listen to him. Don't normally get too upset over celeb deaths but this one hurts. Such an awesome dude.

No idea he was ill. Sad news.

Glad he called a couple of our games for the first time last season.

On the ultimate trip now

what a long ...strange trip it's been.

RIP. I had no idea he had cancer. A true legend who will be missed greatly.

Love it. Bill’s doing quite well I imagine.

 

[NineOneSeven]

RIP. That stings... one of my favorite people. Ugh.

We lost one that makes the world more fun, folks.

Wow RIP

Too eerie right after the Pac 12 network aired its last game

 

[Cheriehoop]

So sad. He was the epitome of energy - never would have known he was ill. He seemed to just love life. Just wow!

 

[CuseCactus]

An American treasure. May he rest in peace.

Read or should I say listen to his book "Back from the Dead" I got the recommendation from Orange44 awhile back and it was incredibly uplifting, truly a remarkable human spirit! RIP Bill!

 

[rrlbees]

Wow. RIP Bill. One of a kind.

I will miss him a lot. Feels like I lost a friend, as odd as that might sound to some.

Growing up in Southern California, I remember him and Ralph Lawler calling Clippers games.

Lawlers Law - First to 100 wins

We lost a legend of life today. RIP Bill.

Danny Ainge’s wife wouldn’t let him go to a Dead concert.

Total legend. Seems like a kind, wonderful human being. Calls with Dave P. were so, so fun. RIP.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

UCLA should wear tie dye jerseys next year.

 

[Madbiker]

A true legend. I still remember watching his games at UCLA. Bill Walton was probably the most dominating college player I ever saw. A uniquely interesting character as a broadcaster. In a way it's spooky that he passes at the same time as the Pac 12.

One of the good guys in sports, and in the world in general. And before the injuries took their toll, he was as good as anyone who ever played his position. He will really be missed. RIP, Bill.
