It’s time to wrap up reflections on Bill Walton, the superstar center for the Portland Trail Blazers who recently passed at age 71 due to cancer. But the memories of Dollar Bill wouldn’t be complete without Blazer’s Edge Managing Editor Dave Deckard speaking in longer form about Walton’s legacy and contributions in Portland.
The sixth episode of Trail Daddy, a Portland Trail Blazers podcast, covers two or three unique things the Big Redhead brought to the Blazers community and the residual effect we experience today because of him. If you don’t quite understand what the big deal was, or you’ve forgotten, give a listen. It’s a fitting way to say goodbye to one of the best players the franchise has ever known.
