I wish I had watched more of him in his prime, or more like I wish I was of the age that knew basketball when he was in his prime because, by all accounts, he was an all-timer.

It's just that his body betrayed him, and he and we, as fans, were robbed of seeing someone at his peak for a more typical amount of time.

But still, 2 rings and an MVP is nothing to sneeze at. And this doesn't take away his claim as one of the best NCAA players of all time.

I know him more as a broadcaster, which he was legendary at as well. He had a lot of charisma and really was a good communicator if memory serves me well.

But, more importantly, he just seemed to be a great human being. I was watching an ESPN clip of an interview with Jay Bilas. Bilas said that Walton was always engaged with the lives of the people he worked with. For someone who would have been justified or enabled by his career to be the biggest ego in the room, it is refreshing and a little inspiring to know that his humility and generosity were the source of his ability to connect with others.

RIP

<--- Me when my head hits the pillow

Very fortunate to have watched his broadcasts on NBC as a kid. So much seemingly effortless comedy between him and Steve Jones.
