Luke Walton

Luke Walton interests me because basketball was clearly in his blood, and he carved out his own identity rather than just riding a famous name. I respect that he won two NBA championships with the Lakers as a role player, the kind of smart, unselfish forward every title team needs. What I find telling is his pivot into coaching, head jobs and then a return to the assistant ranks with Detroit. That willingness to step back and keep working the craft says something about love of the game. At 203 centimeters and a decade in the league, he's a reminder that longevity in the NBA usually rewards basketball IQ over raw stats.
