Yahoo Sports: ‘Why Not Roll the Dice?’ Lamar Odom’s Risky Road Back from Addiction and Depression
By Jeff Eisenberg — 2021
It is now more than five years since Odom’s drug abuse prematurely ended his NBA career, destroyed his marriage to Khloe Kardashian and left him comatose for three days in a Las Vegas hospital. Ever since he awakened and began to rebuild his life, Odom has been trying to figure out why he’s still breathing and how to make the most of his second chance. Recently, Odom has wondered if his purpose might be to inspire others to pay more attention to mental health and to seek help before they fall down the same dark hole he did.
