Lamar Odom's Representatives Deny Star Forward's Reported Disappearance[/h]
[h=3]August 26, 2013[/h]
TMZ.com reported on Sunday that NBA star Lamar Odom had been missing for nearly 72 hours and that his family had become worried, but according to Odom's representative, the former Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks forward is fine.
Although nothing has been proven, TMZ first reported there was some concern regarding Odom potentially hiding out and using crack cocaine. Odom's wife, Khloe Kardashian, reportedly attempted to stage an intervention on Wednesday, but Odom rejected it.
While Odom's location and condition remain unclear, the fact that his representative was willing to say Odom is okay could be a positive sign.
Regardless of what extenuating circumstances may have fueled his reported disappearance, the past couple of years have been difficult for Odom from a career perspective. Odom clearly loved playing for the Lakers, so getting traded to the Mavericks prior to the 2011-12 season seemed to hit him hard.
Odom reportedly asked for the trade after it was revealed he was part of the vetoed trade to the New Orleans Hornets that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers, but he appeared to regret that decision. Odom was a two-time NBA champion and a Sixth Man of the Year Award winner with the Lakers, but his production and effort seemed to go way down in Dallas.
That led to a highly publicized fallout between Odom and the Mavericks' organization, and they placed him on the inactive list late in the year.
Odom made his way back to L.A. last season as a member of the Clippers, but his production continued to suffer as he averaged just four points and six rebounds per game as a bench player.
Odom is currently a free agent, as teams haven't exactly jumped at the 33-year-old veteran after two disastrous campaigns.
The rumors surrounding his reported disappearance certainly appear to be extremely serious, but it would be unwise to jump to conclusions until Odom addresses the situation himself.

I would have said the following: "Lamar has fallen into a depression because he asked his wife to quit the reality TV show they were on and she refused. Thus causing his downward spiral. The K's are hated more than almost anyone. Trust me, the public would have been 100% behind him. Add in that Kris Jenner, would not allow us to quit, they drove me to drink and drugs, that is the reason I played so poorly in Dallas, the fat chick wanted us back in LA, etc.
Brilliant
