Lamar Odom is eager to become
Kobe Bryant's sidekick with the new-look
Los Angeles Lakers
Scottie Pippen, once an acclaimed sidekick himself, is lending a hand in that direction at the behest of
Phil Jackson, his former coach in Chicago.
When Jackson returned to the Lakers for a second time in June, he pointed to Odom's disappointing 2004-05 season and how much he expected from the versatile 6-foot-10 player.
Jackson coached the
Michael Jordan-led
Chicago Bulls to six championships in the 1990s, with Pippen a secondary star playing a variety of roles including being the leader of Jordan's supporting cast.
