Lakers Assistant Coach Phil Handy not only has a handful of championship rings with the likes of LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard, but a highly-successful training app for players of all ages.
He's the NBA's "Ironman." A. C. Green holds the all-time record with nearly 1,200 straight games played. The streak began during the 1986-1987 season as Green helped lead the Lakers to the first of back to back titles. Green left the team but returned for one more championship run, this time alongside Kobe and Shaq. Jim Hill caught up with him for this week's edition of Legends.
Two-time World Champion Norm Nixon chats with Jim Hill about his title-winning seasons with the Lakers and the start of the Showtime Era.
No one has had a better seat to more Lakers history than longtime PA announcer Lawrence Tanter. Not only was he there for Showtime, Kobe/Shaq & LeBron/AD, but even for Marvin Gaye's historic national anthem.
This week on Legends, Jim Hill sits down with four-time NBA champion John Salley, who played for the Lakers in the 1999-2000 season, helping the team win the 2000 NBA title. The conversation is a trip down memory lane, which also turns very philosophical.

Jim Hill goes one-on-one with former Laker and current broadcaster Mychal Thompson.
Bill Bertka hasn't missed a Lakers game since 1981 and he's played so many roles with the team since 1968, it's hard to count. Jim Hill visits with the longtime Lakers assistant/scout to talk about all the coaches he's worked under, the origin of analytics and how many championship rings he has (you won't believe the number!)
Mark Madsen is a Lakers (Dancing) Legend! With Shaquille O'Neal in his corner, Mad Dog became a fan favorite and won two titles with the purple and gold. Now a head coach at Utah Valley College, Madsen and Jim Hill chat about what he's up to as well as his time in LA.
