In October 2015, Odom spent several days in a coma after binging on cocaine, alcohol and an herbal sexual stimulant at a Nevada brothel. The fact that Odom now is able to have a regular conversation with Hart — while soaking in a tub full of ice water, as is the show’s gimmick — does seem miraculous.
“It’s a good day to be alive considering the alternative,” said Odom, who told Hart he is fully recovered from his addictions.
Odom spent all but two of his 14 NBA seasons with one of the two Los Angeles teams, winning a pair of NBA titles in 2009 and 2010.
