Walton was a dominant basketball player, earning a Finals MVP Award in 1977 with the Portland Trail Blazers and then following that championship up with a regular season MVP win in 1978.

As a broadcaster, Walton was known for his eccentric style, legendary one-liners, and insightful commentary. He will be greatly missed.
