Fans, NBA remember Blazers icon Bill Walton

Portland Trail Blazers legend Bill Walton passed away at the age of 71 on Monday after a prolonged battle with cancer, the NBA announced. “I think that he was probably Portland's first kind of athletics superstar in the city and somebody that really fit the Portland vibe and energy and so I think that's why he's been beloved for all these years past his playing time,” said Brandon Bowden, Blazer fan and general manager of the Spirit of 77 sports bar.
