Lamar Odom Fighting for his Life

Not a laughing matter, but I assumed he was trapped under Chloe.

I'm also not feeling sorry for the guy, tbh. Make a fortune playing a sport, get drugged out with prostitutes, and expect me to be heart-broken? Naw.
 
He was an underachiever imo with his skill set you could see the elite potential in him but guess it was the crack holding him back, always liked him hope he's ok.
 
I'd rather say my prayers for the millions of children in the world dealing with starvation than a drug-addicted ex-NBA player with untold riches who makes bad decisions.

Sounds harsh, but nobody pushed him to live the way he's lived.

I don't pray because God isn't real, but I don't think it's that tough to pray for both if you do that sort of thing.
 
He might have had more money then I would see in 20 lifetimes, and wasted time on drugs and women, but the man had a heart as big as all outdoors. Easy for me to feel bad about LO. I've always known he was a better human being then a basketball player. I've always understood that to be the truth of the matter, and the reason so many of his brothers in the NBA care about him as much as they do:

What most people don't realize about Lamar Odom is that he's a better person than he is a basketball player.

"New Orleans Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry, who coached Odom for two-plus seasons with the Clippers, said: “His greatest assets has also been the thing that doomed him because people took advantage of his kindness, his niceness, his always wanting to share.

“I remember he called me a year after I got fired by the Clippers and said, ‘Coach, I never really told you this, but I want to apologize. If I had been doing the right thing and playing the way I should have, you would have never gotten fired. So I just wanted to apologized for that.’ That’s what he did.

“People don’t understand. He was a good, good person that had demons. He had demons – everybody knows that. But I just think if you take into account his whole background and how he grew up and what was there, it’s not that hard to see where the demons came from. But he was a good human being, a very good person. A good person. That’s what he was.”

Another former Clippers coach, Vinny Del Negro, reflected on coaching Odom during the 2012-13 season.

“He had a great spirit, great guy," he told The Times. "He was fun to be around and he loved basketball. He worked incredibly hard to get back in shape."

Del Negro added: “You feel numb right now, because he was such a terrific person, and when you hear news like this, it just breaks your heart. ... I know a lot of people have reached out over the years to try to help him in various ways. The reason you did it was because he was such a tremendous person. He was so much fun to be around. You just always hoped for the best for him."
 
"He just wanted to get away, have a good time and relax,'' Hof told The Associated Press in a phone interview.

Hof said Odom was "happy, he was sleeping every night" while visiting, but two women went to check on Odom on Tuesday afternoon, after not hearing from him since early morning, and they found him face down and unconscious. When they turned him on his side at the direction of a 911 operator, Odom started "throwing up all kinds of stuff."

Hof said Odom had been taking herbal Viagra and had drunk part of a bottle of cognac since arriving,

....sounds like Lamar was "never much on thinking.....spent most of his time chasing women and drinking!"

If I had that kind of money I would definitely spend a healthy portion on drugs and women, that and a zeppelin. I don't see that as wasteful.
