Bill Walton in Video Before Death to Cancer. Hall of Famer, Commentator, UCLA Champ & NBA. Old Video 

He lived every moment to the fullest. Such a love for life. This one hurts.

How can you not love Bill Walton. 😢

He's probably the nicest, smartest guy I've ever had the privilege of knowing. RIP Big Readhead.

Loved hearing Bill Walton commentate during games! The words he used during the game were hilarious “come on Shaq stop shooting bricks” 😂😂 RIP Bill! 🕊️

I'm from Portland. Bill Walton means so much to us, it's hard to describe. I was 20 when we won the 1977 NBA Championship. I met him in Sept. 1976 He looked like a 7 ft logger BillWalton4Ever

For anyone who didn't know, Bill was part of an 88-game win streak, at John Wooden's UCLA Bruins. He followed (C) Lew Alcindor (later became Kareem) at UCLA. Bill was a 3-time outstanding NCAA college player of the year, 2 X NCAA Champ, 2 X NBA Champ, NBA MVP, & HOF. rip Bill.

Bill was the Best

The most positive individual I have ever listened to. Nothing and no one could ever get the better of his positive outlook on life. Simply an amazing role model for us all. RIP Mr Walton, the NBA and all of us, your fans, and the general public will miss you🙏

Rest in Peace dude

I remember my dad pointing out the red head freshman at UCLA, telling me he's the next "Lew Alcindor," and that was true. Arguably greatest college player ever. And Trailblazer championship year was arguably greatest season a center ever had. If his feet didn't go bad he would be mentioned in same breath as Jabbar.

What a Legend!!! To be able to have this energy and Grace knowing he was suffering greatly is so Beautiful. RIP to the GREAT Bill Walton

What a beautiful human. A great example of what you can do with your life.

I am at a loss for words. Bill was beyond categorization. I knew him before I knew basketball, because he came to visit me in the UCLA hospital when I was a little kid in 1974. Ever since then, he has been part of my life in one way or another spreading good cheer and good memories. Thank you, Bill, for all the basketball and human lore that you shared with us. You will always be remembered and glasses will be raised in your honor.

God bless this man. Thanks bill! ❤

Bill I remember you in Boston. You lived in Cambridge Massachusetts several doors down from me. You were an amazing man not just a Celtics. RIP..😅

He is a legend, makes me sad he's gone.

May be a cliche, Bill Walton was truly" One of a Kind"!

What a great man. His character and his attitude toward life are worth emulating. RIP champ

This is gold. As was Bill. Special person. RIP…Get ready heaven for this force.

A great one has passed. RIP the great Bill Walton. The world is a little emptier today.

Had he not had such health problems he would have been one of the greatest centers of all time. But his life was still an incredible success

R.I.P MR. WALTON THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES 🙏

Bill Russel, Bill Walton were the greatest ambassadors of the NBA and they gave their souls to the most crucial social movements of their time. There can be no greater thing a person can do than to give selflessly of their lives to something greater than themselves. "RIP" to these great men who will never be equaled in our lifetimes.

Bill walton part of the greatest celtics team of all time 1986.

Such a positive and super intense man! He loved every second of life! My condolences to his family!

Went to High School with Bill and his brothers and he was always kind to me. My one big claim is I got a rebound against him during a pick up game (of course it was 10 feet away from the basket.

Man loved this guy, what a great person, player commentator ❤ rip bill.

Great words of wisdom. I love that he was a Neil Young fan.

Bill was an amazing human being..truly somone who lights up everyone he was near ...great man rip

Thanks man, you brought a smile and laugh on this difficult day.

"The Mountain Man!" the 76-77 NBA Season was one of my favorites! The Blazers played a revolutionary passing game offense that I hadn't seen since the 70s Knicks. Just beautiful. With Walton at the hub.

My dad has colon cancer and just had surgery to remove the tumor. Seeing this is sad and thinks about my dad’s mortality. RIP Bill Walton

He was always gracious and kind. ❤ Bill will be well missed.

RIP Bill

I could listen to Bill talk for days. RIP big guy.

There he goes. Rest in peace Bill Walton.

One of the best humans ever

RIP Bill, I'm so saddened today.😞

Bill has a hard time staying "on topic" ...but who cares. Always loved listening to him because you never know what's coming next !

This was a great talk and I needed this right now at this very second! In the afterlife he speaks truths to us!!

You gotta love Big Bill!!!! Great guy, amazing storyteller, and a person you can relate to from wherever you come from.....

WOW. Boy did this interview with Bill Walton affect me. Tears. What a down to earth bright and knowledgeable person. I wish I wouldve met him. I'm his age. God rest Bills soul.

Bill Walton a true and real American icon. History will insure you're never forgotten. I'm glad I Iived at the same time you did. I remember UCLA Trailblazers, Celtics etc. So sad the way you were treated in Portland. You couldn't help your health. You gave it everything you had on the court and in life.

Bill Walton defines class

listening to BIll speak about anything made me happy, smarter, more motivated and the zest to enjoy life.....God what a positive man

He was a great player a great humanist and he was against the Vietnam war before it became popular to do so! He was a progressive from the very beginning and I really admired him for that!

RIP Bill Walton Awesome Person

R.I.P. to the great bill walton the best in the history of the game.

Bill Walton will be missed. He was a great human being. Always standing up for the underdog and underprivileged.

Some of my best memories was watching him play ! I'am 64 and live in Columbia,SC .

For a true 7 footer (7'2) he ran and moved like his posted 6'11 power forward. RIP

In 1972 at UCLA, we students demonstrated against Nixon’s Vietnam War by first occupying the Franklin Murphy Administration Building and then had a mass sit-down demonstration at the intersection of Wilshire and Veteran. Bill Walton was always there standing up for what he believed in. Thank you BW.

See you in the next resurrection, Saint Bill Walton. The enshrined first saint of basketball and sports, in My Book.

Would never know he was sick in this video

I love Mr bill Walton I hope your with Jesus bro

Loved him 😢

So sorry to hear...a great player and legacy is lost

Thanks. This is much better than “Bill Walton in Video After Death to Cancer”.

Loved basketball and life. Another of my childhood heroes gone.

Rip bill walton 🙏

I watched Bill Walton in the early 70s when he played for UCLA ! He as amazing ! He was an amazing and colorful speaker and caring person and will be missed ! Thank you for posting this video !

His voice always felt like a respectful dad figure.....god i respect how he always carried his self as a man. Thanks so much Bill

The tallest person I ever stood right next to. Walked up to him at TD Garden before a game he was broadcasting. I looked upppp at him and said, "Throw it down!" He smiled, looked down at me, and said, "Throw it down!!"

Just got done watching 30 for 30 on ESPN a lot of tears he was one of a kind I was 13 in 74 when UCLA lost their 88 game winning streak against notre dame I don't think I ever missed a game then he beat my fav doctor J game 6 walton 20 pts 23 reb 7 assist 8 blks could you imagine if he was healthy he when healthy was the best Maurice Lucas went to fight Darryl Dawkins the refs got out of the way like a hockey fight lol in the 77 finals kinda sad and disappointing watching 1 guy have the ball in today's NBA and the other 4 stand there I'm talking about luka he's lucky he didn't have rodman or Pippin or whoever on him I just proves the NBA is garbage today I could go on forever WWE were the luckiest people in the world lol rip Mr walton

The world is a little less cool today.

Thanks for changing the title of the video to a more honest one.

RIP…Luke…great memories, thanks for your amazing kindness and positivity.

Wow Im speechless! What a guy! I can see his soul easily and it seems happy content joyful appreciative generous and more. He is or seems to be a man in many thousands. I wish I met him but I think I just did!

Still remember that 77 championship series with Philly. Wonderful person. Ultimate team player. His contribution to the game won't be forgotten.

As great of a speaker as he was it blew my mind to find out he was not always a good public speaker. Just seemed so eloquent and natural for him.

Rest in peace Bill Walton

One of the most profound men who has ever lived on this planet. I feel incredibly lucky to have shared this earth with him for the first 36 years of my life. Rest in Peace, Big Man. Go throw it down up there in the big basketball game in the sky. ❤

Rip bill Walton legend

I enjoyed your video I remember him from his college days at UCLA what a great player. RIP Bill Walton

A Example, On How to Live Life To The Fullest

This news made me so sad. He was a great player and wonderful human being. He will be missed. RIP Bill Walton

For a guy days from dying he certainly sounded in great spirits here. You never would think seeing this video that he was about to die.

great thanks Mr. Walton

Without a doubt, Bill Walton made the world a better place by uplifting everyone around him. And without question, the world is worse off without him. R.I.P. Big Red!

Thank you sir ❤RIP

I can listen to his stories all day! Saw him many times around San Diego getting his groove on!!

Timeless and touching words from Bill Walton! Thanks! 🙏🇵🇭

Bill was the greatest college basketball player I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen them all. Nobody understood off the court as he had a speech impairment that he eventually overcame to become a legend broadcaster.

I implore us all to live each day with even 1% the vigor and joy this man walked with every smiling second of his journey,ramble on Rose you will forever shine😢❤

I remember as a freshman at Helix High, I saw and heard stories of how dominant Bill was at Helix, and in my sophomore year, I remember watching on TV as he dominated the then NBA dream team Philadelphia 76ers to win the NBA Championship. Years later, I owned my own auto detailing business, and Bill was a client of mine and was the nicest human being. So positive, so motivating! Such a shocking loss! GOD bless you, Bill. Remember, "Once a Scottie, Always a Scottie!" ❤

Mr.Walton Conference of Champions

I will miss him!!..🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

What makes Bill Walton truly amazing, He always kept his Painful Pain and Suffering to himself, and instead show joy and happiness to everyone. He is one person that will truly be missed.
