Luke Walton had a funny explanation for why he got along so well with Kobe Bryant.
Walton, the head coach of the Sacramento Kings, played with Kobe on the Lakers from 2003-2011. Walton was a starter for a few of the lean post-Shaq/pre-Pau seasons, but otherwise a bench player.
Talking ahead of the Kings’ game against the Clippers Thursday night, Walton said he and Kobe got along well because Walton passed Kobe the ball.
