Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players to have played the game of basketball. The Lakers legend was instrumental in Los Angeles Lakers winning five NBA Championships across 11 years. He spent his whole twenty-year basketball career with the Lakers. For the better part of his playing career, he was the face of the Lakers franchise and the league in general.
The duo of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe won three championships in the early 2000s. But their already sour relationship turned worse. In the 2004 NA Playoffs, the Lakers went to the NBA Finals and were favorites to win against the Detroit Pistons.

Shockingly, they lost to the Pistons in four games. In 2004, Shaq demanded a trade. And eventually, Shaq went to Miami in a mega-trade involving Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Brian Grant, and a future first-round draft choice. Lamar Odom has been through a lot in the past few years. In a recent interview, he compared his ex-wife Khloé Kardashian’s acting skills.

Out of all the players that the Lakers received in the mega Shaq trade, it was Odom who proved to be the most successful one. Lamar played for the Lakers for seven years. He won two NBA Championships and was an integral part of both of them.

Odom was a starter for the Lakers, but then, later on, came off the bench. When Paul got injured in 2008-09, he was in the starting five again to help out the team. In 2009, he signed a lucrative deal to remain with the Lakers for four more years. This deal was a master stroke as Lamar was important in the Lakers defeating the Celtics in the 2010 NBA Finals.
