By now, the majority of NBA fans have heard that Luke Walton is known for being a players’ coach, but now you can take a look inside a Los Angeles Lakers practice yourself. From jumping in on drills to rebounding with his players, to battling in the low-post and cracking jokes on the sidelines, Walton has a way of making his players feels comfortable.
There’s a reason that current Lakers say they would run through a wall for Walton, who at just 36 years of age is the youngest coach in the NBA. During his 10 seasons as a player (winning two championships with the purple and gold), teammates and coaches often predicted that both his basketball IQ and overall demeanor would make him a great coach in the NBA someday.
