Hall of Famer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was assigned to work with Bynum upon his joining the team.
Still a tenderfoot but offering a lot of potential, Bynum is gradually developing into one of the best Lakers players. In fact, he caught the attention of the late, then-Hall of Famer basketball coach, Pete Newell who defended Bynum against his fellow-teammate Kobe Bryant's criticisms.
