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.

just watched an amazing video on him and nearly cried. Very similar to sales kickoff engagements.

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.
