Ben Simmons has nothin on lamar. If lamar was in the league today he would be better now then he did back then

Very underrated rebounder as well... he knew where the ball was going to come off the rim... him and gasol complimented each other perfectly too

He was never underrated, he fell off the path too soon, otherwise I believe he would’ve been great....just when his career was taking off, the wring way caught him.... his downfall has nothing to do with the NBA but his struggle with his own demons!!! Some of us have to really experience hardships to become wiser.... I pray he finds his way back because he can still be great....and hopefully the NBA will believe in him just as much as we do....

Lamar was elite in terms of talent. He can even play defense and rebound. The only weakness he had is that he is his mental state. There are games where his head is not into it.

Very underrated but super talented best high IQ player

TheYoungMuTe one of the the most unique players of my generation

Masiah Henry stfu bitch boi

+Patience Barnett I know you dawg 👈🏾

Strokes

Masiah Henry kobe went go see him

Don’t forget the range 💯

Cause he was a 6’2 point guard.

He looks just like KG. With his handles he could have been an all time great like Kevin Garnett.

He could’ve been a superstar back then too, talent and fitting in the game was never an issue. His work ethic, dedication to greatness and just overall motivation were just not there for that.

*how

+Patience Barnett he was a great player and had a great career....he had it all, fame, money, the rings, fans, everything. dude came from nothing and it's crazy how he pissed it all away

+undertoes money or fame doesn't make people happy sometimes. Lamar lost his son, he just lost a really good friend recently, his wife left him, his mom died when he was young, he was in a car crash when he was young and had to see his cousin die. This dude has been through A LOT.

undertoes the only happiness he had was playing in front of adoring fans in staples center. Once that was taken away from him he had nothing to escape to.

One of the best big man with handles

@@yajracagujas4549 yeah bro i mean he can sham god

@@yay8371 a shamgod that passes between the legs of the defender🔥

Ikr

I am a big fan of Kobe but Lamar is my fav in Lakers expect Kobe. He makes me feel like NBA player is also an actual person in life even though we might not able to know them especially for the people like me who is living outside of America. Sometimes when I look at Kobe , I will feel inspired and touched by his spirit but for Lamar, somehow I feel a invisible link with him. He is like someone I know in my life, having his climax and struggling at the same time. Not hero, not perfect genius, just a moral person like everyone in the world. When I experience the pity for him, I am feeling all the regrets in my life. He is someone I don’t know but feel very familiar to. Wish him the best😔

Lol same😂

my initial thoughts!

Same on nba 2k21 and i want Him nba2k22 Pantheom. Lamar is great player 🙏🙏🏀

Was A cheat code lowkey

He is breathing on his own and is talking! Hopefully he gets right back to his old and talented self.

Damn, I just heard about this. I grew up watching this guy play. He is a BEAST on the court and was such an important piece to that lakers squad. Once he left, that team lost their identity. I really hope he gets well.

+Pat Sajak me too -.-||

+Pat Sajak It already saddens me watching kobe play in this day and age in this fashion and it only saddens me more hearing the news about lamar odom. The offense run by kobe-gasol-odom was once the prettiest thing in the league.

+Pat Sajak same, i just needed to see when he was happy & loving life. he doesnt deserve this. he is actually a good guy.

Same thing also

I can deff feel that. I feel the same way although it's mostly because there are so many talented people in the nba that we don't notice role players as much... only greats. still sad though.

Deep

+J Sax Musik you are really right on that. Many guys who were good or had the talent and die, and sometimes get over shadowed. A lot of guys who died that were really good or almost made it too the NBA i can name. Hank gathers, Ben wilson, Reggie lewis, Len bias, Eddie griffin, and Drazen petrovic.

I loved that at the height of his playing days he was boldly christian when it wasn't popular to do.

+hanshen wang me too, but his talent never comes back

Yi Feng no he won't be able to come back to the NBA.

Hanshen Wang where is he now I haven’t heard from him in years

Han W snorting COOOCOO

He was graceful yet had the attitude of dog on the court.

Fuck yea

he plays like magic johnson

he did. im sure youre happy dude

Still alive and kicking. I really enjoyed watching him on Celebrity Big Brother. Such a down to earth, kind individual.

Ben Simmons if you ask me.

tghetto5 he sacrificed to win that doesn't mean he didn't work hard when he won sixth man he was coming off the bench getting triple doubles u think if he played for a team that lacked a scorer he wouldn't of averaged better stats?

eric coronado easily would have averaged 25+

He had the work ethic drugs ruined his career

@@LeBeautiful Nah. Ben can't shoot.

i thought u meant lavar ball

Yes in My heart

Loves from italy. Only saw one Lamar game But love The man

He's not dead just really low chance

hes not dead
