“Rest In Peace”: Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard, & NBA World Unite with Barack Obama to Mourn Loss of 71YO Legend, Bill Walton
By now, everyone’s heard the news of the death of basketball legend and Hall of Famer Bill Walton. Everybody acquainted with the 6’11 center in his playing days and then, as a color commentator, knew him to be a versatile, vibrant, and joyful man. Walton’s concern for the welfare of his fellow human beings and love for the band, ‘Grateful Dead,’ was also quite common knowledge. And after a long fight with prostate cancer, the former 2x NBA champion passed away at the age of 71. As such, the NBA world, including Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard, couldn’t help but mourn the death of a legend. Also joining them was the ex-POTUS, Barack Obama.
Mr. Obama took to X to write a beautiful note about the loss the basketball community and the world at large suffered when Bill Walton made his final departure. “Bill Walton was one of the greatest basketball players of all time – a champion at every level and the embodiment of unselfish team play. He was also a wonderful spirit full of curiosity, humor and kindness. We are poorer for his passing, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family.”
