    Five things you definitely didn't know about the Lakers:

    * Lamar Odom is the loudest guy in the locker room, followed closely by Bryant.
    * While struggling to raise five children on a CBA salary, Phil Jackson took an aptitude test to find another career. The results: 1) adventurer; 2) lawyer; 3) minister.

    * The practice drill the Lakers hate the most is called 82's, a full-court layup drill where they have to make 82 total layups as a team in less than two minutes.

    * A key principle to the Lakers offense is spacing. Fifteen to 20 feet between players is considered ideal.

    * Tex Winter's real name is Morice Fredrick Winter. In two weeks, he will turn 87 years old. He has been married since the Korean War.
