National treasure Bill Walton made headlines for biting into a cupcake with the candle on it still lit Saturday night, and his son Luke is apparently relaxed about it.
Luke Walton, head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, confirmed that his father’s behavior didn’t really have precedent from his childhood. However, he was also thoroughly unsurprised that it happened.
Luke just confirmed that his father did not do this at his or his brother’s birthday parties when they were growing up … but it also does not surprise him. https://t.co/GYPfaMsenG

Walton is a bit odd, but it makes for great TV. Luke probably has some great stories that he hasn’t told or are simply not fit for public consumption. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
