Bio:
Lamar Odom (born Lamar Joseph Odom on November 6, 1979 in Queens, New York City) is a former American professional basketball player. Lamar was raised by his grandmother, as his mother died of colon cancer when he was twelve and his father struggled with heroin addiction. Lamar developed his skills at basketball in high school. Lamar declared his eligibility for the 1999 NBA Draft when he was a freshman in college and the Los Angeles Clippers picked him in the fourth round. In his first season, he averaged 16.6 points per game. Lamar was suspended in 2001 for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy for the second time in eight months. In 2003, Lamar signed with the Miami Heat. Lamar had a solid season with the Heat, but he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2004. Lamar played with the Lakers until 2011, winning two championships with the team in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, but he only stayed with them for one year. He returned to the Clippers in 2012 and became a free agent in 2013. He signed with the Spanish ACB league but a back injury forced him to return to the US. Lamar signed with the Knicks in 2014, but they waved him at the end of the season.

Best Known For:
Lamar Odom is best known as a professional basketball player and the husband of Khloe Kardashian.

Personal Life:
Lamar is the father of three children with his former girlfriend, Liza Morales: Destiny, Lamar Jr. and Jayden. Jayden, born in 2005, died from SIDS in 2006. In 2009, Lamar married Khloe Kardashian. Their wedding was featured in the E! series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Their spin-off, Khloe & Lamar, debuted in 2011 and lasted for a single season. In Dec 2013, Khloe filed for divorce from Lamar. The two finalized the split in July 2015, and were just waiting for a judge to sign off on it when Lamar suffered a serious medical emergency after being found unconscious at a brothel in Pahrump, Nevada in October 2015. The former NBA player was rushed to the hospital and comatose for four days before waking up on Oct. 16. He was eventually transferred to a hospital in Los Angeles, and Khloe called off the divorce on Oct. 21 before the judge could make it official

Khloe Kardashian’s Nipples Peek Through Thin Blouse — See Her Braless Look

Khloe Kardashian was spotted filming ‘KUWTK’ on Nov. 3 in a very sheer blouse and you could very visibly see her nipples! We think Khloe looks fabulous and if you’ve got it, flaunt it!
Khloe Kardashian, 31, is sizzling hot! The reality star wore a long sleeve black top and although her look seemed to err on the conservative side, she opted not to wear a bra. Clearly, Khloe’s perky boobs don’t need a bra and we love how she’s proud of her body.

Lamar Odom Check Into Rehab

Lamar Odom: Check Into Rehab Once You’re Healthy, Even If Your Marriage Is Over

Lamar Odom — how wonderful to hear that you are on the mend. Now, you need to start thinking about curing your addictions, even if Khloe Kardashian turns her romance with James Harden back up!
Lamar Odom, you’ve been given the blessing of a second chance at life. You need to take full advantage of it even if your “romantic marriage” to Khloe Kardashian cannot be mended. I say “romantic marriage” because Khloe may remain reluctant to divorce you legally, while there’s still any chance that she has to make or at least help with your medical decisions.

Khloe Kardashian Wedding Vows

Khloe Kardashian: You’re A Great Role Model For Taking Wedding Vows Seriously

Khloe Kardashian, when you vowed at the marriage altar to love your husband, Lamar Odom, in sickness and in health, you took those words incredibly to heart. That shows tremendous character that should be emulated.
Khloe Kardashian, your estranged husband Lamar Odom is a very lucky man. There are very few wives who were just one judge’s signature away from a divorce who would have run to their almost ex-husbands’ sides, like you did. When Lamar was found unconscious and near death, you didn’t hesitate for an instant to jet to his side, and you’ve stayed there in two different hospitals now — almost nonstop — for three weeks.
