    A long, yet inspiring read on Lamar Odom. I've always loved his goofy demeanor on the court and some of his bloopers are too funny for words. I had no idea that his story was so interesting though. I have to agree that as a player he isn't as aggressive as he should be, his natural talent and freakish athleticism for his size make him practically unguardable. Regardless, he is one of my favorite personalities in the league and, when he's on, he's a joy to watch.

    Curious to see what you guys think of the story.

    When playing well, Lamar Odom is good as any SF/PF in the league.

    Great story, thanks for the read. I didn't know about most of the stuff. The only thing I knew about was that his kid died.

    thanks for sharing. it's a little rosy, but great read nonetheless. i have saved it into my archives of articles i read off of the internet - a rarity to me for sports-related ones.
