In the sports news lately, many people have been hearing the name Lamar Odom. For those who do not know who this individual is, he is one of the NBA's great players. Odom played with Kobe Bryant, another NBA super-star, when he was on the Lakers. He was found in a brothel in Nevada (which is legal in this state under strict health codes) unconscious and in need of immediate medical attention.
Lamar Odom luckily was able to receive this medical attention and was brought to the nearest hospital to be treated. Originally the medical team that arrived to the scene wanted to bring him to the hospital in a helicopter. The ex-NBA player standing at 6' 10" and approximately 230 pounds was simply too big to be flown to the hospital. Reports show that Odom had to be brought to the ambulance by three people according to an article on ESPN.
Although this seems like a downfall, Odom has had what some describe as a rough life. With having to deal with deaths, tragedies, and other unfortunate life events Odom has had a pretty rough-go. Bleacher Report has an exclusive article that does an excellent job following up this recent indecent.
We hope to see Lamar Odom make a full-recovery after this unfortunate event. Below is a video that shows some of Odom's success during his career in the NBA:
