Former NBA Star Lamar Odom has had a whirlwind of a career. Through his years in the NBA, Odom bagged two NBA championship titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and played alongside the likes of Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. While he excelled on the court, off the court his life was nothing less than tumultuous. In his latest documentary with TMZ, Odom opened up about his life on and off the court while speaking about his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian and a life-altering incident.

Odom and Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian tied the knot in 2009. Their wedding was filmed on the Keeping up with the Kardashians show and was attended by high-profile celebrities and Odom’s teammates. However, their fairytale-like life took a disturbing turn after Odom left the Lakers in 2011. Following his exit, the two-time champion started struggling with substance abuse issues, leading to troubles in his relationship with Khloe. But the situation would take a turn for the worst soon.
