More information on Jeff Lamp: Jeff Lamp is a distinguished professional basketball veteran and esteemed member of the 1988 NBA championship team with the Los Angeles Lakers. With an accomplished 11-year career in the NBA and an additional six years of professional play in Europe, Lamp brings extensive insights from his on-court experiences.
