Former Lakers forward Lamar Odom knows he's a 'walking miracle' and he's hoping to move onto a new chapter in his life with the BIG 3 basketball league while still trying to come to terms with nearly dying.
While in good shape, Odom says he’s often reminded he’s not the same player since the aforementioned hospital stay. The movements that came so naturally as a 6-foot-10, 220-pound forward who could also play the point are no longer there.
The BIG 3 conducted its annual draft Wednesday night in Las Vegas, and Odom smiled when asked about starting the next chapter of his basketball career in the city where he nearly took his last breath. The demise of Odom’s NBA career and downfall of the Lakers can be traced to his trade to the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 11, 2011. That deal was made after he and Pau Gasol were involved in a three-team trade that would have brought Chris Paul to the Lakers but was vetoed by the league commissioner.
