Lamar Odom on 2011 trade from Lakers: It 'basically ended my career and purpose'
Odom’s life is finally coming back together.
Lamar Odom is through the worst six years of his life. In a sitdown interview with The Vertical’s Shams Charania, Odom clearly conveys that and how he’s finally on the road to recovery.
The 37-year-old former NBA star is starting to put his life back together after a terrible few years of drug addiction that reached a breaking point in a Las Vegas brothel. That was 2015, where Odom overdosed on drugs, suffered multiple strokes and kidney failure, and was kept alive only by life support before ultimately bouncing back.
