Bill Walton, a college and professional basketball icon, died Monday at the age of 71, the NBA announced.
Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill reacts to the basketball and broadcasting legend's passing and celebrates what made Bill Walton so special to the game.
In a decades-long post-playing career as a broadcast analyst, Walton was rarely focused or even on topic. But he was never forgettable. And he was never uninspired.
If Chris Paul hits the free-agent market, he reportedly could draw interest from the Clippers, his old team.
