Lamar’s teammates took a very personal attack because of his reality show drama — find out what they did!
Lamar Odom got the ultimate slap in the face from his Dallas Mavericks teammates by being shut out of their playoff bonuses — and it’s all because of distractions caused by his wife Khloe Kardashian!
Lamar, 32, was voted to not receive any earnings from his team’s brief stint in the playoffs, ESPN reports. Normally he would receive $14,000, but in a May 6 locker room meeting, the team voted to not share the dough because he did nothing to help out.
“If the Lamar thing would have worked out and if he would have played like the year before when he was the best sixth man, I think we would have had a shot,” his Dallas teammate Dirk Nowitzki said after they were booted. “It would have given us another playmaker, another guy that’s long, that can defend and rebound. But for whatever reason, the stuff he was going through off the court was just too much. He couldn’t help us the way he wanted, the way we wanted, and we had to move on without him.”
Do YOU think this is the ultimate diss to Lamar and his reality career, HollywoodLifers?

Umm, the Mavericks went out of their way to try to help little LAMLAM. Perhaps if he truly took his role seriously, he would not have been dropped from the team. For example, did you know that Lamar was late for almost EVERY pre game shootaround and practice – even though he lived virtually across the street? That he lied to the Mavericks on why he took a leave of absence? That Mark Cuban made not one but two sports psychologist available to him? i think they did a lot for him.
If he is truly in pain, he needs to step away from the game and seek counseling. Not concern himself with getting on the Olympic team (which he doesn’t deserve) or getting back on reality tv. Oh, and by the way-the Mavericks were the defending world champions. I truly doubt they were jealous of him. He was a cancer in the locker room. Case closed.
