Rambis returns to LA Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have added Kurt Rambis and Johnny Davis to their coaching staff.

Rambis, who got eight rings in hand as player, coach and front-office executive, worked for the Lakers between 1999-2009.

"Kurt is a great basketball mind, extremely good at working with big men and his experience as a head coach in this league is going to prove very helpful to our staff," said Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni in a statement on Monday.

Davis has a 20-year coaching experience, including being head coach of Philadelphia 76ers (1996-1997) and Orlando Magics (2003-2005).
