— Bill Walton , a San Diego native considered to be one of the greatest players in the history of college and professional basketball, has died at the age of 71.
"Bill Walton was truly one of a kind. As a Hall of Fame player, he redefined the center position. His unique all-around skills made him a dominant force at UCLA and led to an NBA regular-season and Finals MVP, two NBA championships and a spot on the NBA's 50th and 75th Anniversary Teams. As a cherished member of the NBA family for 50 years, Bill will be deeply missed by all those who came to know and love him. My heartfelt condolences to Bill's wife, Lori; his sons, Adam, Nate, Luke and Chris; and his many friends and colleagues."
During his time at UCLA, Walton was named National Player of the Year three times and led the Bruins to two NCAA basketball national championships in 1972 and 1973.
