Heartbreaking. I used to get tickets right behind the Lakers bench once per year back in those days, and one of the things that I remember is that Lamar seemed to be the most popular guy on the team. He made everyone light up a bit. It's such a shame that he's such a tortured soul. |

Seeing him at the Lakers facility recently, was hoping for him to clean up & improve himself _________________ Austin Reaves

I think the structure and discipline of being on a team as a player helped give him a sense of ... purpose.
Now, he just seems lost.
Does he really want to get in to coaching? Stay away from the nightclubs. Grow up Lamar, you're almost 40. |

Tomorrow is his 38th birthday.
A shame he didn't think he could celebrate this while sober.
I agree with others his kids should be enough of a reason but they clearly aren't so its hard to be sympathetic yet I admittedly am considering all the tragedy he's gone through. |

Sad.
I have a friend who just completed 30 days in rehab, I’m hoping he can stay sober but I know that road is long and hard.
Wishing nothing but the best for Lamar, overcoming demons isn’t easy and often can’t be done alone. _________________ http://tinyurl.com/zhjax5w

nope. He wanted a coaching job with LAL, and attended a few practices, but wasn't hired
you might be thinking of Ron Artest, who was hired as a coach for the G-league team _________________ LBJ + AD = More rings

Or maybe the job he gave him was to get right. |

I hate to say this, but I don't see him getting past 40. Millions of dollars, people who like him, yet can't find a way to be happy without drugs. F those Kardashians. Ruined a man. _________________ R.I.P Magic Wand! |

I hope that Lamar's health isn't in danger, and he makes a full/speedy recovery. Also, I'll wait till more info comes out, in relation to this recent collapse, before rushing to judgement. I sincerely hope it's not due to a relapse back to drug use. Good luck, Lamar!

LO playing a ceremonial game won't change all the personal demons he's facing. In fact it will probably give him false hope. |

God speed, LO. Addiction is a lifelong demon that's hard to escape, but even if you fall back, keep fighting and you can win in the end. |

More like bad habits than bad luck. Nothing he did not do to himself.
Sad. Wish him luck. _________________ .

Hoping it's just that he's been clean for the longest period of time in a long time... went out for his bday... had some drinks without realizing he's now a cheap drunk and passed out. _________________ KOBE!!! |

What an idiot. What does it take for some people to wake up and just stop drinking and doing drugs? I mean it's his life so do whatever I guess. |
