Walton had been dealing with a long battle with pancreatic cancer for the past few years but that did not stop him from continuing to work as a broadcaster.
The NBA legend was a two time NBA champion, once with the Trail Blazers and once again with the Celtics in 1986 while also winning a league MVP award in 1977.
The entire city of Boston wishes their sympathies to the Walton family during this tough time.
