The world is reacting and showing their outpour of love and condolences after it was announced that former Portland Trail Blazers star Bill Walton passed away on Monday after a bout with cancer. He was 71.

Among the people to speak on Walton’s death was former President Barack Obama, who had kind words to say about the Blazers icon.

Bill Walton was one of the greatest basketball players of all time – a champion at every level and the embodiment of unselfish team play. He was also a wonderful spirit full of curiosity, humor and kindness. We are poorer for his passing, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family.

Walton’s death was commented on by many, and others had stories to share from the larger-than-life character, including former WNBA player Kate Starbird.
