Broadcaster Bill Walton dies at 71. Who Was He. Pashto Pedia Ep 01. Pashto Pedia By Samiullah Khatir
Bill Walton, a National Basketball Association (NBA) Hall of Famer and one of the sport's biggest broadcasters, has died at age 71.
Walton died after a long battle with cancer, the league announced on Monday.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver remembered him as "truly one of a kind".
He was known for his legendary college basketball career in California - and for overcoming a stutter to build a successful broadcasting career.
Walton, who towered at 6-foot-11, played center for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)’s basketball team from 1971 to 1974.
It was with that team he led the Bruins to two championship wins and an 88-game winning streak.
