With Lakers center Andrew Bynum deciding to scale back his work with assistant coach Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and with former Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis -- who also spent plenty of time working with Bynum -- taking the head coaching job with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Coach Phil Jackson said he’d spend some time working with Bynum.

‘My own focus is going to be in that direction because Kurt was really the guy that spent a lot of time with him, working on some of the details of his game,’ Jackson said.

Jackson joked that ‘just about everybody on my staff wants to have a piece of Andrew,’ meaning that assistants Brian Shaw, Frank Hamblen and Jim Cleamons all will work with Bynum.

Jackson said Bynum has been running the court pretty well during training camp and that his condition looks good.
