The last few days have been a whirlwind for anyone emotionally connected to former Clippers forward (across two different stints) and NBA Sixth Man of the Year Lamar Odom, who, earlier this week, was found unresponsive in a Las Vegas hotel, and later transported to the hospital where numerous reports stated he was in a fight for his life.
With reports of death near, worry increased as the likelihood of Odom not pulling through increased, especially as hints of brain damage and “every drug imaginable being found his body” reached reporters. But with the latest news, a glimmer of hope is shining through, as NBC News — and others — are reporting the two-time NBA champion is off life support, and has uttered a word to his wife in Khloe Kardashian.
