BEFORE LUKE WALTON could finish the brisk, three-minute walk from the team hotel to StellaNova café for his morning coffee on a lazy Tuesday in Oklahoma City, the Los Angeles Lakers coach was spotted by a couple on the street.
It was the Lakers' final road trip of their season. And this couple had flown in from Australia to see the Lakers face the Thunder.
Walton, hardly incognito with a Lakers cap covering his wavy hair and a sweat suit on his 6-8 frame, stopped to pose for a photo before ducking into the shop for his caffeine fix: medium, black.
