NBA legend and longtime ESPN analyst Bill Walton died at the age of 71 in May, and the Portland Trail Blazers—the team on which he began his professional career—have come up with a very special way to honor him this season.
Throughout the 2024–25 season, the Trail Blazers will sport patches with Walton's No. 32 with a tie-dye background on their left shoulder. Walton was known for wearing tie-dye frequently, and the pattern became somewhat synonymous with his name.
