Lamar Odom who?

7

Oh, that guy that just signed a new deal with the Lakers... That's who. This is a link to a new long piece that I just ran up over in SBN La-La Land (Silver Screen & Roll) reviewing the life and career of Lamar Odom. Did you know that LO was born exactly 1 week earlier than Ron Artest in Queens, New York? Me either. Includes lots of swell pictures, many, many words, and even a YouTube video of "The Package:" hitting a game-winning 3 that sent his Rhode Island Rams to the NCAA tournament. The article is fully footnoted, meaning I didn't even cut-and-paste it from somewhere else (although I did commit theft and photoshop torture on the graphics, ha ha). Why should you care about a Laker, you ask? Well, ummmm, it is being leaked/said/rumored/reported/lied that KP made an 11th hour attempt to sign Odom to a multi-year free agent deal. That makes him VERY NEARLY A BLAZER (in some agent's fantastic face-saving delusion). So there... I'm not spamming the Bedge after all. Anyway, check the article out if you care, it's a companion piece to the one I did on Ron Artest early in July.
