Lamar Odom highlights throughout his NBA Career. Lifetime views: 25,207 Originally Uploaded: Aug 29, 2014 Support my work (IG:Bio)👇🏿 / beezpicasso Facebook Page / bballmixes
He was never underrated, he fell off the path too soon, otherwise I believe he would’ve been great....just when his career was taking off, the wring way caught him.... his downfall has nothing to do with the NBA but his struggle with his own demons!!! Some of us have to really experience hardships to become wiser.... I pray he finds his way back because he can still be great....and hopefully the NBA will believe in him just as much as we do....
Lamar was elite in terms of talent. He can even play defense and rebound. The only weakness he had is that he is his mental state. There are games where his head is not into it.
Such a special and interesting player. Never was an all star but was definetly all star calibur. Even this highlight vid basically shows he can do anything you ask of him. Happy to witness him win 2 rings and a 6th man
He could’ve been a superstar back then too, talent and fitting in the game was never an issue. His work ethic, dedication to greatness and just overall motivation were just not there for that.
+Patience Barnett he was a great player and had a great career....he had it all, fame, money, the rings, fans, everything. dude came from nothing and it's crazy how he pissed it all away
+undertoes money or fame doesn't make people happy sometimes. Lamar lost his son, he just lost a really good friend recently, his wife left him, his mom died when he was young, he was in a car crash when he was young and had to see his cousin die. This dude has been through A LOT.
undertoes the only happiness he had was playing in front of adoring fans in staples center. Once that was taken away from him he had nothing to escape to.
I am a big fan of Kobe but Lamar is my fav in Lakers expect Kobe. He makes me feel like NBA player is also an actual person in life even though we might not able to know them especially for the people like me who is living outside of America. Sometimes when I look at Kobe , I will feel inspired and touched by his spirit but for Lamar, somehow I feel a invisible link with him. He is like someone I know in my life, having his climax and struggling at the same time. Not hero, not perfect genius, just a moral person like everyone in the world. When I experience the pity for him, I am feeling all the regrets in my life. He is someone I don’t know but feel very familiar to. Wish him the best😔
I can deff feel that. I feel the same way although it's mostly because there are so many talented people in the nba that we don't notice role players as much... only greats. still sad though.
+J Sax Musik you are really right on that. Many guys who were good or had the talent and die, and sometimes get over shadowed. A lot of guys who died that were really good or almost made it too the NBA i can name. Hank gathers, Ben wilson, Reggie lewis, Len bias, Eddie griffin, and Drazen petrovic.
there will never be another lamar odom. 6 foot 10, running the point off the bench. 2x champ. kobe could sit back and relax when he went to the bench knowing lamar got it
Damn, I just heard about this. I grew up watching this guy play. He is a BEAST on the court and was such an important piece to that lakers squad. Once he left, that team lost their identity. I really hope he gets well.
+Pat Sajak It already saddens me watching kobe play in this day and age in this fashion and it only saddens me more hearing the news about lamar odom. The offense run by kobe-gasol-odom was once the prettiest thing in the league.
At of all the men that ive seen come into the reality TV screen this is one of the ones that seemed to b 100% genuine and not full of himself like others, their for I took a like 'en to this man he's very talented but has also been threw alot but I'm glad to hear he's doing well...Be strong big homie keep making progress and we will keep praying AMEN.
One of my all time favorite laker! Such a unique player who could do it all. Was such an instrumental piece when they won back to back championships. Hoping he pulls through.
LO was good but should have been even better. 6'10, could shoot, dribble, play D, go coast to coast, pass etc. If he had Lebron or Kobes work ethic maybe he could have been an all time great. He had the size for it.
tghetto5 he sacrificed to win that doesn't mean he didn't work hard when he won sixth man he was coming off the bench getting triple doubles u think if he played for a team that lacked a scorer he wouldn't of averaged better stats?
R.I.P Lamar Odom I won't only remember you as a Kardashian Ex by as a Two Time Champion and a Sixth man of the year award winner. You gave your heart to the game and any fan should respect that🙏
Players like him are the most underrated in all of basketball… not a superstar… but a glue guy who can do a little bit of everything. If you have a 6th man like him coming off the bench then you’re always going to be a contender for the championship.
