The Los Angeles Lakers have a young team, with plenty of unproven players that still need help if they are going to succeed at the NBA level. The team brought in veterans to help with this process over the offseason, and to further aid their young team, the Lakers had a few familiar faces drop by to talk to the roster about off the court development:

It was great to work on my skyhook with legend who mastered it!
