One of the great and enduring ambassadors of the game, #BillWalton was one of the great champions the game has ever seen, winning titles at all three levels, high school, multiple college titles, and professional.
Coach Wooden's most prominent acolyte. Walton championed the foundations of teamwork, strategy, and doing things the right way on the path to winning. #RestInPeace, Bill.

My parents were season ticket holders for the Blazers for decades. They were at the 1977 Finals series including the Championship game. The whole city stopped to watch it on TV. I remember it was the most excited I've ever seen my mom that day!
What a legend Bill Walton was! RIP, big man. 🖤🤍❤️
@Teej_Muk Well, the good days are about to begin again with the 2025 collective bargaining agreement. With Climate Pledge Arena built and good word coming out of key players, I think the next year will correct a lot of wrongs.

Let's hope so! The Blazers were bottom of the barrel this year 🥴
@MikeBarbre
Yep those were the Glory Days in PNW NBA history!
