Bill Walton has passed away at 71 years old

The San Antonio Spurs of the 2000's and early 2010's with Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Trey Parker, Bruce Bowen won most of their NBA Titles arguably to stiff, lock-down, aggressive defensive play but they werent this "sexy, alluring, high-scoring" squad that won always on shootouts. Defense and sort of having the NBA's version of Bill Belichick (albeit more liked, well-respected, and with a few more friends) in Gregg Poppovich who could out-strategize, out-maneuver, and motivate better then most other NBA HC's in his prime.

Teams like San Antonio and later on, the mid-late 2010's Golden State Warriors LeBron James doesn't have 7,8, or 9 NBA rings on his fingers right now.
Sure, their defenses were more like the Bulls which was very good and not so much like the Knicks/Pistons of the day.
