|
|
Quote: | Lamar Odom is fighting for his life after falling into unconsciousness at Dennis Hoff's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Sources at the Love Ranch tell TMZ, Odom arrived at the Ranch Saturday and was partying with the girls for days.
On Tuesday afternoon, someone went into Odom's room and found him unconscious. The person rolled the former NBA star over and saw fluid streaming out of his mouth.
An ambulance took Lamar to Pahrump hospital, where doctors intubated him ... an indication he could not breathe on his own.
We're told Lamar is being airlifted from the hospital to Las Vegas for more treatment. |

I pray and hope that Lamar is gonna be ok. |

Hope he is OK, but sadly, many of us figured this kind of thing was coming. |

Don't know why he can't seem to get his stuff straightened out. He's had quite a few wake up calls. Pulling for him. |

It's typically a "good" sign if they're moving him to another hospital. He's at least stable enough for that.
Hope the best for him... _________________ #countonkobe |

I think the whole reality TV thing took him bad places, and then the double whammy of the Laker trade sent him spiraling, and he can't seem to find a safe haven. |

Finding comfort in drugs and hookers definitely won't end well. Just seems like such a sharp turn. He was a model teammate in LA. |

People forget he had a lot of issues and troubles earlier, but found his center a bit in LA. The Kardashians plus the trade took away that, and he reverted to what he came from. |

Combine that with all the deaths to close members of his family in a fairly short period of time. The guy has had it tough.
It's a pity that he couldn't gain some control. |

Maybe a near death experience will snap him out of it.
Unfortunately, that's rarely the case with addicts.
Best wishes to him and his family, so sad to watch this public downward spiral. |

My thoughts and prayers go out LO, but you are right, many thought that LO was heading in the wrong direction. In the big picture b-ball is unimportant, but I think LO could of been a super talent if he had his head together. _________________ .....

Pretty crazy how his life has spiraled out of control.
It's like a train wreck and you just can't seemingly stop it.
One of the best human beings as a teammate and person according to coaches and people who knew him.
Sad ending if this it for LO, but can't lie, it seems that this was something many of us watching this story over the last few years, feared.

I remember a while ago when his best friend died thinking that it's only a matter of time before something like this happens to LO. Hopefully he can pull through and get his life back on track. Really pulling for him |

Geez.
I got to sit behind the Laker bench once a year between 07-11, and you could tell that he was easily the most popular player amongst his teammates. So sad. I feel like he's been on a downward spiral ever since the CP3 trade/veto. |
