Former NBA star Odom found unconscious at Nevada brothel

“We picked him up at his place in Las Vegas”. Paramedics were called and he was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital, where he was treated before being transferred to Sunrise. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak also skipped post-game events at the MGM Garden Arena to be at the hospital.

Previous reports claimed Lamar had been taking a herbal substitute for viagra before he fell unconscious at a brothel in Las Vegas, but there was no suggestion of illegal drugs playing a part in the incident.

We called 911, and the 911 told my staff what to do: turn him over on his left side.

“It’s incredibly sad”, Hof said. But his dignity and reputation are already dead, shredded at the altar of reality television.

Then an hour later by Smith, who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who shared a photo of Odom from his college basketball days on Instagram, where he is followed by 1.5million people. Other sources say he was popping eight to 10 of these pills at a time, and that he used regular Viagra as well.

Kardashian filed for divorce in 2013, citing irreconcilable differences, his behavior became more erratic.

The two were married in 2009 in a large ceremony taped for the E! network, following a whirlwind engagement that also was filmed. His divorce from Kardashian has not yet received final approval from a judge.

The Lakers played an exhibition game in Las Vegas on Tuesday night, losing 107-100 to Sacramento. He’s in a coma, distraught family and friends at his bedside.

Lamar’s rep Eve Sarkisyan has said his family and friends are “extremely concerned” for the star’s condition and appealed for privacy as doctors work to save him. “I was so obsessed with him in a healthy way”.

People have always seemed to root for Odom, whose prematurely weathered face wore the impact of his personal tragedies in a friendly way, seeming to acknowledge his lowest points even when he reached the heights of pop-culture fame.

“Whatever they’re saying, you see him and it doesn’t look like he’s going through anything”, Daniel said. “Your heart goes out to him”. Just this summer he lost one friend to a drug-related skin infection weeks before losing another friend to an overdose.

At this stage, we don’t know when, or if, Odom will improve. “I can’t help but to be up right now…”

Odom was discovered unresponsive at a Nevada brothel on Tuesday by two of its employees.

Just last month, she revealed that despite more than a year of separation, she still cares about Odom.

Odom, a father of two sons and a daughter, won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award while with the Lakers in 2011.

He was traded to the Dallas Mavericks during December 2011 and six months later was dealt to the Clippers.
