Bill Walton rooting from afar ahead of Game 6

LOS ANGELES -- Hours before Game 6 of the NBA Finals in Cleveland on Thursday night, Bill Walton is 2,300 miles away trying to take his mind off the contest by walking around the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

He's playing in a Street Fighter V tournament, grabbing rebounds on the NBA 2K17 court and taking photos with characters from Tekken 7. He's immersing himself in his newest passion -- esports -- while his son, Luke, prepares to possibly win his second straight championship as an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors.
