Fans shared their favorite Bill Walton broadcast moments after news of his death

News broke on Monday afternoon that former UCLA and NBA star Bill Walton passed away at 71 years of age. The Hall of Fame center battled cancer before succumbing to his illness, per the NBA.

Walton, a two-time NCAA champion and two-time NBA champion, had an illustrious basketball career that saw him win Naismith College Player of the Year three times and play 10 seasons in the pros.

Immediately, odes and tributes started pouring in for the iconic and eccentric basketball player and broadcaster.

Over the years, Walton became known for his hilarious — and generally off-topic — comments while calling games and doing radio spots, and fans quickly took to social media and shared their favorite Walton highlights.

It was a lovely way to remember the spontaneous and life-loving man.
