Bill Walton Mike Breen ESPN NBA

Beloved basketball legend Bill Walton died on Monday after a prolonged battle with cancer, as tributes have poured in from all around the sports world.

One in particular from basketball broadcaster Mike Breen really made an impact, as Breen told an absolutely beautiful story about Walton that really has to be heard.

We’re betting that plenty of great stories about Walton will be told in the days and weeks to come as his memory is celebrated, but Breen’s story is going to linger for a bit. We’ll let him take it from here and commend him for honoring Walton with such a lovely tribute.
