Lamar Odom has seen his career take several turns since being selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the fourth overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft.
He was part of a promising yet inconsistent and unfocused Clippers core, had a successful season with the Miami Heat, then established himself with the Lakers. While Odom was on Lakers teams that endured down seasons, he was also a member of the franchise’s two championship runs.
Not only was Odom a member of the rosters that reached and twice won the NBA Finals, he was an integral piece to the Lakers’ success.
