Pretty cool to see perhaps the best player in the game reaching out to a HOFer at a different position to learn his craft and take his game to another level. Seems to be working so far as Kobe has used these inside post moves quite a bit already this season. Late in Jordan's career, Michael played alot more post than he ever did before. It helped him player longer into his career at a higher level. Looks like Kobe may be thinking the same thing. And the Lakers could always use another low post player as well.

Through 6 games Kobe is average 34.6 points/game and his 0.481 FG% is well above his career average of 0.455.
 
Seems like Kobe's been doing this throughout his career - always adding something to his game.

Its also kind of timely for LA. With Pau out and now Drew, they needed another post presence right now.
