Bill Walton

A seven-foot Deadhead who won two NCAA titles for John Wooden, two NBA titles, an MVP and roughly four seasons of working feet. When his body quit, his mouth took over: as a broadcaster he could turn a Tuesday night Pac-12 game into a forty-minute monologue about the moon, tie-dye and Jerry Garcia. Cancer finally got a word in edgewise at 71. Somewhere a play-by-play man is enjoying the silence.
