R.I.P. Neal Walk. One of the first @Suns I remember watching as a little boy. Under appreciated but such a solid big man #PhoenixSuns #NBA

Plenty of Florida Gators fans also posted to celebrate his career, as Walk attended UF before being drafted to Phoenix in 1969.
Sorry to hear of the passing of Neal Walk, a Gator Basketball legend.
