RIP Bill Walton

[Noexcuse]

Bill Walton was unique in media and life, with a message we all understood

Peace and love. That was Walton's message. Everyone got it. For all of his accomplishments, what a great legacy.

"At times, he might have seemed as if he lived on another planet, but he wanted you and everybody else to join him on it because it was a place where love and dreams come true."

Interesting the SU connection with Glickman and Pasch.

As a pain killer, I assume. Hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Walton's body failed him - but I guess Owens had his share of injury problems too. I wish I could have seen Walton play at his peak. I'm sure his stats don't do him justice.

He was a master at directing his blocked shots to teammates, rather than out of bounds.
