Bill Walton brought joy to seemingly everyone who crossed his path. That was evident in the way his life was celebrated on Monday after his death was announced by the NBA.
Walton died on Monday after a long battle with cancer in recent years. He was 71.
The announcement brought forth an outpouring of sorrow, but also joy for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer whose glee for life and basketball was so great that a 2023 ESPN documentary on him was titled "The Luckiest Guy in the World."
There were many official remembrances from his career as one of the greatest college basketball players ever at UCLA, and his professional career that, while limited by injuries, included an NBA MVP award and two championships.
