Truly sad……but since the Pac-12 is no more……it seems appropriate he will not be around when the conference is the same

Just saw that, wow
Bill Walton's stat line in the 1973 NCAA title game in St. Louis: UCLA vs. Memphis State
Field goal attempts: 22
Field goals made: 21
Rebounds 13, assists 3.
Considering the significance of the game, this stands as the greatest single-game performance in NCAA basketball history.
Put Helix High School (San Diego suburb) on the map. Bill's brother Bruce Walton played in the NFL as an offensive lineman. Down the road, Reggie Bush (Heisman) and Alex Smith (1st overall NFL Draft pick) were Helix teammates.

It's either him or Arvydas Sabonis, don't know if you ever got to see him play, and not just in the NBA but in Russia before he came to this country, he made passes that a guy his size shouldn't have been able to make, a point guard in a center's body, one of the most skilled bigs to ever play
Walton a truly special player and person, there haven't been too many who enjoyed living life as much as he did, throw it down in Heaven big fella RIP

Bill Walton was special….RIP

The opening odds start here
His playing was a lot more competitive than his annoying broadcast booth work, but oddly enough, you can almost always find yourself looking forward to his pac 12 game commentary late on ESPN. Still, he will be missed. RIP.

Freshman could not play varsity during that era. So Walton and Alcindor only played three years on the varsity.
UCLA won 7 NCAA Titles in a row – three with Lew Alcindor, two with Steve Patterson, then two with Bill Walton.
Walton lost his senior year to David Thompson & North Carolina State.
Earlier that season, Notre Dame broke UCLA’s 88 game winning streak.

Biggest stoner song for years. The song was supposed to be called In the Garden of Eden.
