SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- From his second-floor office in the Los Angeles Lakers training facility in El Segundo, California, general manager Mitch Kupchak can overlook the practice court to watch players work.
Lately, however, Kupchak is hearing much more than the squeak of sneakers or the bounce of the ball.
There's music. A lot of it.
"Actually, sometimes I'm glad I'm in my office rather than on the court, because it's loud," Kupchak said Tuesday morning before the Lakers opened training camp at UC Santa Barbara.
The music is new -- and the change can be traced to the Golden State Warriors.
