Odom was practically non-existent in Dallas, averaging a career low 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds in 50 games.

Look, I get that LAMAR ODOM is a sensitive guy. I get that he needs to be shown love. I even get the gist of his whirlwind romance with KHLOE KARDASHIAN (if you can believe that!).

Odom sounds like a siamese cat in heat…after sniffing two kilos of catnip!! Put some bass in that voice,...

Khloe is definitely “Ride or Die” for Lamar, but Odom apparently went on a ride of his own in D.C. According to Radaronline.com, Dallas Mavericks forward LAMAR ODOM got pretty forward with some D.C. nightclub strippers last Sunday, prior to the Mavs presidential visit to the White House.
