I am sad today hearing that my comrade & one of the sports worlds most beloved champions & characters has passed. Bill Walton enjoyed life in every way. To compete against him & to work with him was a blessing in my life. Sorry for your loss Walton family. We'll miss him too. Doc
USA Basketball honors the life, contributions & legacy of Bill Walton.
At just 17 years old, Walton represented USA Basketball at the 1970 FIBA World Championship. Walton, the youngest member of the team, averaged 2.6 points as the USA finished fifth.
The game of basketball was better because of him. He was a one-of-a-kind personality and a true legend of the game. It was always a pleasure and highlight to talk hoops with him.
