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.

I don't think He was that good of a player. There were many more centers and many more players better than him. If you look his statics numbers He was more like any another average NBA player.But one thing is true. He has great personality.

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 will miss Bill Walton . That guy was a force of nature

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.

Bill was a wonderful neighbor, always waved as he rode his bicycle past my house.

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!

Wives and girlfriends: throw your arms around your husbands and boyfriends; kiss them and tell them that you love them. They need to hear this.

How can you not love Bill Walton. 😢

RIP big Red

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

That was beautiful Coach.

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

surely the Pga knew he was s.uffering

RIP but suicide is for cowards. Mental health blah blah but you think children aren’t suffering in Gaza? Famine in Africa? You are a PGA professional living in the US of A. There’s a whole bunch of people that would swap lives with you. What more can you want? And before you nerds come for this comment remember committing suicide is a cardinal sin.

Daily prayers gives strength ..life is more then playing golf..

GRATEFUL RED 5

Alcoholism is a a chronic, debilitating, life threatening disease which we as a society refuse to really acknowledge, question or educate about. From suicide to car accidents to sclerosis of the liver: we treat it like candy, not poison.

Bummer 😢…

As a boomer from Southern California it was great times with UCLA basketball. Always over came adversity with the best attitude, you will be missed.

Like so many big names and legends ( Robin Williams) their internal struggles overpowered them .RIP

Such a great guy. You can tell he loved life and his positivity was contagious. Sad he's gone. Such a unique guy.

Mental illness takes its toll . Deepest condolences to his family.

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

Indiana Pacers have close connection with the Celtics's legacy. Carlisle was with the Celtics when Bill Walton helped their 86 title. Then Larry Bird was Pacer's coach and took them to the final in 2000.

R.I.P. Bill Walton

You can see it in his eyes that he's not right......poor lad, how very, very sad for him and his family.

It is better than it was 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago but men do have it much more difficult than women do as far as struggling with mental health issues when it is made public. Add to that the celebrity or sports celebrity status and it is even more difficult. I don’t want to read any “Boo-Hoo poor men” crap. Stigmatization. It will always be this way. Just the way it is. I would like to think that he did the best that he was able to do until he couldn’t anymore.

❤bill Walton my hero very very sad ,wow,❤️ watching 👀 bill Walton playing college & nba basketball; & brilliant broadcast

I wish they would tell us how he did it, I always wonder

Rest in peace!!!

The narrator at the end 😌

So that's why we need to poop daily. Rest in peace

Smart dude

What a wonderful soul.

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

My heart goes out to Grayson's family. He certainly had many positives in his life: a successful golfing career, parents who loved him, and a beautiful fiance who also loved him and still do. Fiance? Hell, I cannot even find a girlfriend; never will either. Anyway, rest in peace Grayson.

RIP
