One of the premier rivalries in the sport of basketball is the rivalry between two heritage teams, The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics; Purple and Gold versus Green, Bill Russell vs Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West vs Bill Russell, and Magic Johnson vs Larry Bird. For more than a generation, this rivalry has captured the imagination of fans. Both of these teams faced each other last time in the 2010 NBA Finals, but it looks like if one ex-player has his way, we might see another iteration of this rivalry.

Lamar Odom was an important part of the Lakers team which won consecutive NBA Championships in 2009 and 2010. He was also the sixth man of the year in 2011. During that time, Lamar was in a relationship with Khloe Kardashian. But she eventually filed for divorce, which was granted in 2017.

He also said, “That is not fair, I am picking on him if I do that…Lamar is….thinner dman skin pin man that man is skinny as hell….. imagine me punching that man in the head like crushing the gusher.”
