Alfred Coffee’s owner, Josh Zad, is a diehard Los Angeles Lakers fan who took out his frustrations of missing out on the superstar by banning him.

In fact, Leonard, newly acquired star Paul George and the rest of the Clippers are also banned.

Lakers fans were dreaming of building a new super team with LeBron James and Anthony Davis but instead watched Leonard go to their cross-town rivals.
