Legendary center's career marked by triumph, tragedy, and colorful commentary

Bill Walton, the Hall of Fame basketball center known for his dominant play and colorful commentary, has died at the age of 71. Walton passed away on Monday after a lengthy battle with multiple health issues.
Walton's basketball career was marked by both triumph and tragedy. He was a two-time NBA champion with the Portland Trail Blazers (1977) and the Boston Celtics (1986). He also won two NCAA championships with the UCLA Bruins (1972, 1973), where he was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player both times.
Walton's career was cut short by a series of foot injuries. He retired from the NBA in 1987 after 13 seasons. Despite his physical limitations, Walton remained a vocal and passionate advocate for the game of basketball. He worked as an NBA commentator for ESPN and ABC, and he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993.
