Bill Walton only spent one full season with the Boston Celtics, but his impact was unforgettable. The franchise paid tribute to the sixth man on their 1986 championship team before Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night. Walton’s family was in the crowd for a pregame moment of silence that was interrupted by a fan yelling, “We love you, Bill!” Walton died on May 27 at the age of 71. He was a three-time national player of the year at UCLA and led the Bruins to the NCAA championship in 1972 and ’73. He won a championship with Portland in 1977 and was the NBA MVP the following year. He arrived in Boston in 1986 in time for the franchise’s unprecedented 16th championship.
