And now, he is in a fight for his life.
Odom, a key cog in two championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, and a pop culture celebrity as the husband of Khloe Kardashian, is reportedly unconscious, and breathing off a respirator in a Las Vegas, Nevada, hospital.
He was found unresponsive by staff at a Neveda brothel on Tuesday night. This is an excerpt from the latest report by NBC News: “Odom, 35, who won National Basketball Association championships with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009 and 2010, experienced a “medical emergency” at the Love Ranch, a legal brothel in the town of Crystal, Nye County {Nevada}, Sheriff Sharon Wehrly confirmed.
Odom had been taking what Dennis Hof, the brothel’s owner, characterized to NBC News as “herbal Viagra,” and “he was taking a lot of it.” But no illegal drugs were found in Odom’s room, Hof said.”
The best thing we can hope for in this matter is that Odom recovers. The next thing is that we can only hope he gets the help he needs. He is only 35 years old, and has a net worth of reportedly $50 million. There should be plenty about life for him to enjoy.
