Come on now! He's only 41 and had several heart attacks and 12 strokes. It's not like he lost a leg or something. I'm sure he'll train for a couple of years and then make a comeback.
My favourite player of all time, I met him in the Sean John store in NYC one year when I was on holiday, he was such a nice guy, he was happy to shake my hand and take a photo with me
@Noyce Gaming that must mean so are you then too i suppose, lmfao.. anyway, never said it wasn't, but I've never heard nobody say that's their favorite player, and the 1st time I do hear it, it's from somebody who met him, talked to him, and got his autograph.. so who wouldn't logically think that?🤔🤔🤔🤔 NOT saying I'm necessarily right, but come on now 😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@yulifadida6661 as a clippers fan i think we need our own identity in another city because we’ll always be overshadowed by the lakers but that won’t happen because there’s money to be made by the owners. an L.A rivalry , which isn’t a real rivalry makes money. This “rivalry” was made my sports media but ill still support both LA teams, but the clipper first unlike some other ppl
@@marcusumanzor8583 i think san diego would be a great place for the clippers since they already been there, its in cali and its a big city (maybe not like LA but still)
You know for alot of the shit that many people gave him, Odom has had a hell of a life, through his hard childhood, losing a son, and almost dying. Odom has went through alot of life where people would give up and get sucked into. I'm hoping Lamar Odom continues to do good in life and has prosperity.
@@NigerianBaller Well in Kanye's case he was already falling apart before that. It start with his mom's death. I know that feeling because after my mom died in 2008 I lost my will to live. That hurts.
"His very first move as executive was to sign Lamar Odom...who was on crack!" - Stephen A. Smith on then Knicks president of basketball operations Phil Jackson (yes, that Phil Jackson) signing Lamar Odom.
Watching this video makes me so much more grateful for the life I have, because sometimes I complain about my situation but the truth is that some people have really been dealt such terrible hands in life and it's so so sad. I hope Lamar is recovering well because not many people would have made it this far if they had a life like his, this guy is a soldier man
Kardashians have nothing to do with it, if u watched their show lamar was just not there mentally after his cousin was murdered, Then he started getting into drugs, has nothing to do with the kardashians
@@gugi4477 they might be asshole but not to the extent where they wouldn't try. I have a feeling they did but at the end of the day u cant help someone who doesnt wanna help themself
I remember back in 2015 , his name was like the most searched on google because of what happened to himself personally and he did a lot of drugs and was sent to the hospital a lot , man those were some rough years for Lamar Odom then
Back in the day before Gasol, when Kobe was the only all star on the Lakers, we used to call Odom “Odumb” because he would do stupid basketball plays that would cost the team games. One game I remember, the Lakers were playing the Kings, the Lakers had a 2 point lead with 30 secs left in the game and Lakers had just gotten a defensive stop and all they had to do was run out the clock. Odom has the ball and proceeds to attempt a layup with 20 secs left on the clock, he blows it, the Kings go down the court and hit a 3 and win the game. Phil was so pissed off and even the announcers were like “wtf is he doing”, but once he got his head straight he became a great role player for the Lakers.
Andy Hoops what an absolute surprise for this video , Lamar Odom had a good career but yeah it really did came and went for him crashing down so soon ..
I legit had tears coming down my eyes for some reason watching this. What this man had to endure and to see him continue living life is something special. Lamar Odom is a legend for this despite all of his accomplishments as a basketball player.
Man!!! I didn't know I could drop a tear watching an Andy's video. Damn, I feel sorry for Odom. May God be with him and the rest of the people who he still has.
lol I'll always remember him for different reasons. Every year we found a new naming for a gram of cocaine...usually after someone well known who had a cocaine affair in media,so somewhere back then,for a whole year,when u needed cocaine,you called your "guy" and asked for one(or how much u needed) Lamar lol
he played for team Philippines, and lakers' 2 nba championships glad he overcame on his personal demons, Next Andy Hoops, can you do a video about Derek Fisher
LO is a true inspiration. As much as this guy went through, he's not even supposed to be alive, let alone still playing basketball. He's a walking miracle for real
fr could’ve died on the streets before getting to nba, could’ve committed suicide after all of those darkness in his life, could have died becuase of the OD. And I feel like he could’ve died because of Khloe. He’s an inspiration
The goods my guy I watched him before he even came to LA which is my team. Loved his game, the left hand whaaaaa it was ILL an his handles were very underrated... L.O. my guy
I grew up in LA. Always loved the Lakers ...and Lamar...and xan relate to rhose struggles. Love you Odom. Rhank you. You were badass. Nobody could guard him really
I got a chance to talk to him, it was almost one year to the date i met Metta, i only talked to Lamar about his car. Reason being, while it was a once in a lifetime chance, i wanted to give him space as he been released by the clippers and had a lot drama in his life at the time, and everything rough from his mom dying when he was 12 and the death of his son, reminded me he is human.
Andy, I’m a big fan of your videos. Really like all of them. But you should do one on Andre Drummond. Arguably the best rebounder ever but nobody wants and traded twice for basically nothing
Hey Andy replay this vid and go to the 8:40 mark when you said the Lakers were like his family and you see the pic you put that shows an expression by Odom that disgrees with that statement lol. It's a funny pic that I think you would laugh at if you got the joke or whoever sees what I'm saying. Odom like "Nigga what?" to hearing the Lakers being his family after trading him
the kardashians have a habit of latching on to players when they are on top of the world or on the verge of breaking out. It makes their downfall even more apparent. Look at odom, blake griffin at 2015, tristan thompson, james harden and ben simmons. I am scared for devin.
Lamar is really lucky to be alive he got caught up in Hollywood. I won't even mention his relationship with Khloe. He's human and he just made some mistakes
I met him at a soul food restaurant in New York back in 2015 and he shut down half the venue to eat. He took a picture with my dad but he really didn’t want to be bothered
Lesson: Never fall in love or marry a Kardashian. I mean, look at what happened to Lamar, Reggie Bush, Kanye, Kris Humphries, Scott Disick, French Montana and of course, Caitlyn fka Bruce.
Everyone forgets, Miami got a windfall with Odom. Anthony Carter's agent forgot to opt into his player option, meaning Miami suddenly had the cash to sign a big free agent, and Riley had been enamored of Odom forever. Miami wins a ring in 2006 because of Anthony Carter, absolutely crazy.
Lamar Odom’s story makes you scared to love anyone. Everyone he cherished, he lost to tragedy. It’s no wonder why he detached.
Life went full John Wick on a boy
Lamar Odom was a fun player to watch im happy he overcame his addiction
He was a all round player
You know what they say once a junkie always a .... lemme stop
I just seen him brother in the heights he’s not doing well I think
"I dont see him returning to the NBA" well no shit Andy lmao, nobody does
Come on now! He's only 41 and had several heart attacks and 12 strokes. It's not like he lost a leg or something. I'm sure he'll train for a couple of years and then make a comeback.

"LA changed his life." Too bad it wasn't on the Clippers
Lamar Odom is one of the most famous basketball players who wasn't an actual star. It's unfortunate that his personal life is a huge part of that.
My favourite player of all time, I met him in the Sean John store in NYC one year when I was on holiday, he was such a nice guy, he was happy to shake my hand and take a photo with me
And if this didn't happen, he wouldn't be your favorite player ever or even close 😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@Noyce Gaming that must mean so are you then too i suppose, lmfao.. anyway, never said it wasn't, but I've never heard nobody say that's their favorite player, and the 1st time I do hear it, it's from somebody who met him, talked to him, and got his autograph.. so who wouldn't logically think that?🤔🤔🤔🤔 NOT saying I'm necessarily right, but come on now 😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@Noyce Gaming if you ALREADY liked them, I'm pretty sure it would,lol. But yeah, I hear you bro.
Thats funny i met him at the Sony store in times square he was a good dude and I was shocked as a lil kid how tall he was
Lamar was dealt a bad hand but he tried to make the most of it. I feel sorry for him sincerely.
I like how we emphasise LA as a location only once he is a laker
I mean no one really cares if you play for the Clippers.
Theres only one real LA team
The clippers should move back to san diego they deserve a team
@@yulifadida6661 as a clippers fan i think we need our own identity in another city because we’ll always be overshadowed by the lakers but that won’t happen because there’s money to be made by the owners. an L.A rivalry , which isn’t a real rivalry makes money.

Lakers broke his heart and then the Kardashians accelerated his downfall
Hopefully y’all can help a small TH-camr out who works really hard like Andy :(
Kardashians are the most toxic family on earth. Every man that married into that family their career has gone down. Look at Kanye West 😩
@@NigerianBaller Well in Kanye's case he was already falling apart before that. It start with his mom's death. I know that feeling because after my mom died in 2008 I lost my will to live. That hurts.
Andy hoops even made a video titled "NBA players ruined by the Kardashian curse".
@@RansomBallard sorry to hear bro❤️. Keep your head up
this is the most underrated basketball channel ever, produces great and i mean GREAT content out here for the basketball community. great videos andy
kobe was so mad when Odom was traded
forgot to mention he signed with the knicks at the end of the 2014 season but never played for them
"His very first move as executive was to sign Lamar Odom...who was on crack!" - Stephen A. Smith on then Knicks president of basketball operations Phil Jackson (yes, that Phil Jackson) signing Lamar Odom.
Soon as i heat them 🎺 on a Saturday morning i know its some 🔥
Jesus Lamar Odom’s life is tragic asf .. I can’t believe he went through all that.
Lamar Odom is definitely like the third best guy on that Lakers team and frankly I don't think we could've won those 2 titles without him.
Watching this video makes me so much more grateful for the life I have, because sometimes I complain about my situation but the truth is that some people have really been dealt such terrible hands in life and it's so so sad. I hope Lamar is recovering well because not many people would have made it this far if they had a life like his, this guy is a soldier man
Can you imagine how he felt after hearing about Kobe Bryant's death....seriously just heartbreaking the amount of people he lost
Kind of a sad story too. Thanks for bringing up Lamar Odom's story Andy.
Always love the vibe of these videos
Love those Andy uploads!
Its the Kardashian curse man that's the reason it went downhill also I make videos as well

Not gonna lie, Odom's life is so interesting that i would pay to see a reality show about his life. Great talent and great player.
I appreciate the way you talk about addiction in this video Andy. Good work
Been here since the height of players and t rex arms vids from the beginning. Thnx man

good to hear he’s doing okay
Oden really got to play 2 of the top 5 SGs in history which is pretty damn impressive
as far I can tell, the last time he played active basketball when he played for mighty sports (Philippine club) in Dubai.
he played for team Philippines, and lakers' 2 nba championships glad he overcame on his personal demons, Next Andy Hoops, can you do a video about Derek Fisher

Great video Andy! Can you make a video how good was keith van horn or wally szczerbiak?
The stuff he's been through...it's good that he still lives and breathes.
What happened to him? Kardashian happened.
That’s way too short of an answer to how he fall off and I’ll get you banned from TH-cam for not explaining more like in the video.

He had a drug problem and cheated on her for yrs jus facts

He played also overseas with the Mighty sports (Philippine Team) but i am not sure if thats his last team he ever played.

😭
@@anthonyhodgson2934 if i'm not wrong mike korzemba has a video about jeremy lin
His book "From Darkness To Light" is a good read. 📖💯
Going to LA changed his life, as if he was not drafted by clippers 😂

Yo this was an amazing video
Another Saturday, another Andy Hoops video
And more trumpets
I grew up in LA. Always loved the Lakers ...and Lamar...and xan relate to rhose struggles. Love you Odom. Rhank you. You were badass. Nobody could guard him really
He played for mighty sports Philippines back in 2019
Every time I hear those trumpets, I know Andy's back with another masterpiece
Respect to Odom and his family. Hope he still gets to hoop, even outside the NBA
I got a chance to talk to him, it was almost one year to the date i met Metta, i only talked to Lamar about his car.

Would love to see him play in the big 3 he’s entertaining
Always felt like I was the only one that ever talks about him still until now
4:43 lob city clippers weren’t anything new lmao
That’s just sad bro, that’s some mad will power and motivation and maybe even a mamba Mentality to want to and continue to live after all of that

Please also makr one about Anderson Varejao and why he was called the unluckiest player..

Me: Crack
Just like how stephen a said,HE WAS ON CRACK!!!
Great video do the next one on the suns rebuild
Hi Andy. Miss Lamar on my Clippers.
Man I forgot that he played on the clippers 💀☠️
When you hear those trumpets.
You know this video is one helluva masterpiece from Andy
🎶🎶
Let’s go Andy 💪

devin is doing fine
Lamar’s life story was a real tragedy. I never how badly that trade to the Mavericks had shaken him.
He was ahead of his time....
Got Lamar jersey in every clippers wave , he’s the whole reason why I’m still a clippers die hard fan !!!
Kobe... 😔 What a good friend.
Lamar is really lucky to be alive he got caught up in Hollywood. I won't even mention his relationship with Khloe. He's human and he just made some mistakes
I met him at a soul food restaurant in New York back in 2015 and he shut down half the venue to eat. He took a picture with my dad but he really didn’t want to be bothered
But your dad still bothered him....
simple and most direct answer. he married a Kardashian. where is Kris Humphreys now? how well is Kanye doing? How is Tristan Thompson life going?
Lesson: Never fall in love or marry a Kardashian. I mean, look at what happened to Lamar, Reggie Bush, Kanye, Kris Humphries, Scott Disick, French Montana and of course, Caitlyn fka Bruce.
Grateful that Odom played in LAL helped them to 2 rings until that 2011 botched trade that destroyed his senses and meltdown, it was really sad.

Funny how he was doing good his whole life...until the Kardashian witches got mad at him 😕
Hope they don’t get d book
he's already addicted to drugs in his teenage days lmao
@@syad911 nah he got addicted and hooked on coke in 04.
Dude been on drugs before the NBA...can't blame the Kardashians for that...Khloe really was in love with him for real...Odom just threw it all away.
