The Portland legend passed away from colon cancer on May 27.
Hall of Fame title-winning Portland Trail Blazers center Bill Walton sadly passed away on May 27 of colon cancer, at the far-too-young-to-us age of 71. The 6-foot-11 big man was the best player on Portland's lone championship squad, powering the team to the 1977 Larry O'Brien Trophy while netting the Finals MVP award.
“He was a great teammate,” Hollins added. “He played to win. He elevated his teammates and made them better. He didn’t want the credit. He wanted to pass it on to the guys that he felt like deserved as much as him.” At his peak, he was a terrific and utterly unique two-way player, a ferocious defender and a stellar passer.
