A few weeks ago, a former teammate of Kobe Bryant created headlines through a Facebook post. The two-time NBA champ posted a picture of him and his ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian, together reminiscing old times. Days after that, however, he has since addressed the post and claimed that it wasn’t him.

Lamar Odom is a former two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 2011 Sixth Man of the Year spent 14 years in the league and he is most known for his stint with the Lakers. Odom was an integral part of the back-to-back title-winning seasons in 2009 and 2010.

He is also the former husband of celebrity Khloe Kardashian. The two met at a party in 2009 and they married a month later. They were very popular as the duo was featured in several shows, including ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians‘. They separated in 2013 and they filed for divorce in 2015, which was finalized a year later.

Kobe Bryant’s former teammate Lamar Odom says the post was not from him

Odom made the news last month as he sent out a viral post from his verified Facebook page. He posted a photo of himself and Khloe and captioned it, “Missing my best friend #memories for life,”. Odom also defended the post and said, “Didn’t know we not allowed to miss someone regardless if mistakes were made. I’m human just like everyone else but I get it I let people down and I will pay for it forever and that’s okay too.”

However, it seems it wasn’t Odom who was behind the post. His current manager, Gina Rodriguez claimed that it was an old manager who is behind these posts and everything else which is coming up on his page. He has apparently not had access to his account in years.
