Bill Walton’s death this week at 71 leaves an immense hole in Portland’s sports landscape and well beyond. The centerpiece of the Trail Blazers’ 1977 championship team, Walton was a celebrated broadcaster, but perhaps was best known for being Bill Walton, one of the greatest winners, and greatest characters, in American sports.
Columnist Bill Oram and co-host Brenna Greene of KOIN pay tribute to the man who brought Portland its only NBA title while considering why his death has resonated so widely.
Discussed on this week’s episode of the Oregonian Sports podcast:
• How Walton connected with a younger generation that never saw him play at the peak of his career.
• Some of the best stories that have been told this week about Walton.
• How should the Trail Blazers honor Walton in the upcoming season and beyond?
• Also, Oregon State hosts a baseball regional this weekend. Could it be the last one for a long time?
