Kiehtova tarina koripalloikonin Bill Waltonista: Elämä ja perintö

Bill Walton - Grateful Dead - Hall of Fame - John Wooden - Koripallo - NBA - UCLA

Lue kiehtova tarina Bill Waltonista, koripallon Hall of Famerista, joka jätti jälkensä sekä kentille että sydämiin. Hän oli paljon enemmän kuin vain urheilija ja analyytikko.

Bill Walton, koripallon Hall of Famen jäsen ja rakastettu persoona, on poissa. Hänen lähes 7-jalkainen olemuksensa ja intohimoinen asenteensa tekivät hänestä ikonin niin kentillä kuin ruudun toisellakin puolella. Walton voitti kaksi NCAA-mestaruutta UCLA:ssa ja jätti lähtemättömän jäljen koripalloon. Hänen voitokas, mutta loukkaantumisista kärsinyt uransa johdatti hänet toiseen elämänvaiheeseen analyytikkona. Kollega Jim Gray oli 'murtunut' saadessaan kuulla Waltonin poismenosta.

Bill Walton tunnettiin myös Grateful Dead -yhtyeen innokkaana fanaatikkona. Hän oli suuri persoona ja häntä rakastettiin monien toimesta. Waltonin lämmin sydän ja hulvaton huumori tekivät hänestä suositun niin kaukalossa kuin sen ulkopuolellakin. Hän voitti kaksi NBA-mestaruutta ja oli myös maineikkaan ESPN-analyytikon roolissa. Waltonin poismeno jättää suuren aukon urheilumaailmaan ja fanejen sydämiin.
