Dead & Company paid their respects to Bill Walton on Thursday at Sphere in Las Vegas, just days after his death at 71.

Bill Walton received what he might have viewed as the ultimate tribute from his favorite band on Thursday, just a few days after his death at the age of 71. Dead & Company paid their respects to Walton to open the third week of their residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, transforming the video screen in the state-of-the-art venue into several images of the basketball icon.

Walton wrote that he attended his first Grateful Dead concert in 1971, when he was still in college. 'The music and the basketball were the exact same thing,' Walton wrote on why he enjoyed Grateful Dead so much. 'You have a team with a goal, and a band with a song, and fans cheering because they’re happy, but also to make the players perform better, faster, and to take everybody further.
