Lamar Odom was truly one of the most unique players to ever play in the NBA. Nearly seven-feet tall, Odom had the ball-handling skills of a point guard, could step out and knock down 3-pointers, and had the length and quickness to guard basically five positions.
He never quite reached his true potential, but that didn’t stop Odom from showing his immense talent on the basketball floor. Such was the case against the Golden State Warriors on April 11, 2006.
Fighting for a playoff spot, the Lakers needed everything they could get from the entire team. Kobe Bryant was already going to do everything possible, but he needed some serious help and it came from Odom.
