As word spread of former NBA player and reality TV star Lamar Odom being hospitalized Tuesday in Las Vegas, athletes across the sports world began tweeting their support for the two-time NBA champion and former Sixth Man of the Year.
Houston Astros centerfielder Carlos Gomez urged Odom to "keep fighting, bro!" Miami Heat draft pick and Houston native Justise Winslow tweeted that Odom was a fellow lefthander that he looked up to as a young player.
With the Los Angeles Lakers coincidentally playing a preseason game in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Kobe Bryant left the game early to be at his former teammate's bedside.
