Ahead of Monday's start to the Maui Invitational, ESPN and the Maui Invitational honored the late Bill Walton who was a "national treasure" at past events.

The late Bill Walton received a nice tribute from those running the Maui Invitational. Walton died in May at the age of 71 following a battle with cancer.

Walton was known for his big personality on the sideline while he was an announcer. He famously sported tie-dye shirts, and frequently donned Hawaiian shirts during the Maui Invitational. The tournament found the perfect way to honor Walton at this week's event—two tie-dyed Hawaiian shirts were draped over an announcer's chair with a lei and a shirt that said "Walton" on top.
