Kim Kardashian's trainer. Makes sense because the Lakers have the best young assets in the league. |

Kind of a well-known "Hollywood" choice I recognize.
Anyone dig up what athletes he's trained? |

I cannot find a single athlete name attached to him but from googling, I see a lot of Hollywood's actresses.
So Magic and Rob are prepping us for the red carpet it seems. |

My main concern is about his dedication to the Lakers, with all the money he makes from celebrities. My guess is that he will overlook and design the training sessions, while some assistant gets after the kids on a daily basis.
Another concern: I doubt Kim Kardashian has 7-8% of body fat. _________________ .... |

Under the "Who I Am" section it says he has 3.5 dogs. What does that even mean? |

i am assuming he got a full time job with the lakers. so maybe he is leaving personal training and be a FT laker now? |

Seems like it's for real. Someone might need to edit that 9.5% body fat of his on the Wikipedia site before Magic sees it though. |

If he's a full time employee, I don't care. I'm just not assuming he's one. _________________ .... |
