The Los Angeles Lakers have always been known for the smorgasbord of superstars they have had over the years. However, few players in the team’s rich history have been more beloved than Lamar Odom.
Odom’s first year in LA was 2004-2005. He was part of the blockbuster package that ultimately sent Shaquille O’Neal to the Miami Heat.
Odom’s time in a Lakers’ uniform were easily the best years he enjoyed while in the NBA. No. 7 helped the team win back-to-back world championships in 2009 and 2010.
Granted L.O. played a huge role in those title runs, things slowly went downhill not too long thereafter.
