Lamar Odom Lamar Joseph Odom (born November 6 1979, in South Jamaica, Queens, New York) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays power forward (also plays both forward spots and is a "point-forward") for the National Basketball Association's Los Angeles Lakers. . There's no time for individual play, as the Lakers learn together on both ends of the floor. Odom described the process as being ``systematic.'' ``Guys get a little testy,'' Odom said, ``especially the one time they get the ball, they get fouled.'' Assistant coach Kurt Rambis Darrell Kurt Rambis (born February 25, 1958 in Cupertino, California) is an American former professional basketball player and current assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. said the fouling has been a problem. The Lakers are prone to it right now in their scrimmages because they are still finding their way on defense. One central principle is that a teammate always will be there to back you up. It takes time to develop that trust and avoid reaching and holding instead. Also, center Chris Mihm increased his interval running as he continues to recover from ankle surgery. Mihm still is at least two weeks away from being able to practice. |
