One of the perks of being a part of the historic Los Angeles Lakers franchise, especially at the center position, is being able learn with one of the greatest players to ever play.

Laker legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has agreed to offer his services to all Lakers centers over the years, L.A. has been a place for talented big men to come and thrive.

Even though in the past Abdul-Jabbar has had rocky relationships with Shaquille O'Neal and Andrew Bynum, the knowledge passed down from generation has been worth something.

Now it seems that the newly acquired Dwight Howard will learn a thing or two from Abdul-Jabbar after answering a twitter question sent to him about the possible training lessons.

Howard responded simply with:

"I am. When I'm released."

Howard is no stranger from soaking up the knowledge from great centers from the past as he learnt a thing or two from sessions with two-time NBA champion Hakeem Olajuwon as seen below.

Despite the problems faced with working with Shaq and Bynum, Jabbar might get a more open minded approach from the three-time Defensive Player of the Year. If Howard is able to learn some moves or get some work in with the NBA's all-time leading scorer, the perennial All-Star might have a few more tricks up his sleeve in next season.
