I didn't watch any of those olympic games but I keep reading how Odom & AI played the best out of all the Americans. Can someone explain to me how they utilized Odom?

I believe he played PF/C. He did great with rebounding and inside scoring. LB LOVED him. He was one of the most consistent players on that team.

Well, Duncan and Wade played like a p*ssies so Lamar had to take over offensively.

Remember when everytime Wade tried to make a move he was called for a travel? It was kinda funny after awhile.

There's stats on the bottom of this page.

Lamar had 9.3 PTS 5.8 REB .569 FG%

I wonder why he doesn't do that now, when Kwame and Smush/Sasha play like that.

Maybe because he has a different role. Brown expected a different role from Odom. People expect Odom to just take over, but if the coach wants him to be a faciliator/unselfish player then he has to stick to that.

Too bad for Lamar that Puerto Rico and Lithuania aren't allowed in the NBA.

Actually, you're wrong and it's obvious you didn't bother to support the team by actually watching the Olympics, which makes it both sad and easy for you to just insult the guy. Assuming you're from the U.S., you should know that Lamar Odom was the only American to make the all-Olympic team. He played almost every position on the team, and with competence and dignity. He was everything the team needed him to be at any given moment, and considering how well he represented the U.S. not only on the court, but in his demeanor, he deserves a "thank you" from you.

It would be nice to see if you grasp that concept rather than taking every opportunity to bash the guy, even in this instance where it's clearly inappropriate. When someone gives his best to represent his country, it isn't cool to insult them about it.

Thanks for salvaging this thread; but I think you're wasting your time with this person.

Thanks and I know, but I still had to say it out loud. I can't believe the attitude of some on something that involves patriotism, just because you're mad about the Lakers. At the end of the day, we should all thank every Olympian, even those that come in dead last.

Hey, did you watch the summer Olympics the one before the last? There was a swimmer from a tiny country, which had just been invited for the first time ever to participate in the Olympics. They didn't have a real swimmer for the race and it was a distance race. They just had this guy willing to go out there and try. Anyway, he started swimming and as expected, he fell waaaayyyy behind the other swimmers - and I'm talking so far behind that there were literally minutes between when the 2nd to the last swimmer touched the wall and when he finally got there. He couldn't tell how far behind he had fallen, he only noticed that with every stroke, every lap, he could hear the crowd getting louder and louder. Fans were starting to cheer, then stand up, then just flat out howl for him as he got closer and closer to the wall. You could tell he was getting exhausted. He didn't have any real training and it was far and he just fell further and further back. Yet the crowd cheered and whistled and urged him on. They emplored him to continue. They were so clearly awed by his going out there in front of the entire world, just to try because it was his country's first time there and they needed a swimmer. He would later say that he thought he'd actually won the race, because the crowds cheers for him were so over-whelming. It was emotional and touching - and he, along with the crowd's appreciation for his effort and heart, really symbolized everything the Olympics are about.

It was something.

I have this suspicion that if Wade and Marion had started over Marbury and Jefferson (LBs love of "veterans"), they probably would've gone a lot further, probably even won the Gold.

Marbury and Jefferson looked like the two dead weights on the starting lineup.

I can guarantee you that. Don't bother. Just ignore him, if we're lucky the troll will go away as a result of boredom...

you mean you are satisfied with those numbers? 9pts 5 boards? well, he's almost doubling that this season, but somehow folks around here think he sucks...go figure. :roll: Actually, Duncan couldn't stay on the floor. He was always in foul trouble, so the team relied heavily on LO in the post playing PF/Center. Just the role some of us say he should be playing on this team, funnily enough, and just the role some of you say he can't play because of foul trouble...he wasn't the one in foul trouble at the olympics though! Dude manned up and played through a stomach virus, too. The team just seemed to play better when he was on the floor, just like the Lakers do, for some intangible reason. Yes, the coaches were very impressed with him, and rightfully so. I think it's ridiculous he isn't on the current olympic squad. I mean Shawn Battier? (or however you spell his friggin name) :roll:

Owned! Nice post LJ! Regarding what is bolded above, it's also the reason he should have been invited to be on the current olympic team...imo.

maybe, he simply doesn't have what it takes to take over offensively...as what Phil Jackson said.

SO it is OK for haters to bring up the past ... one hater even went so far as to try and falsify Odom's HIGH SCHOOL SAT scores ... but not OK for true Laker fans?

The depths of your narrow-minded bigotry are amazing and sad.

Great post LJ, it makes you sad to see the attitude of someone like Bode Miller after hearing a story like that, doesn't it. Some people just don't get it.

What I remember is that Wade couldn't hit the broad side of the barn... I've still got those games on tape somewhere, I'm gonna have to go back and watch them to see how wade did.

So what relevance does the olympics have to say.........................
REAL FREAKEN LIFE. Sure i'll bite. Lets trade LO to a team with
TD
Bron
AI
Wade etc.
Come on, Olympic stats High school stats How about PRO RESULTS, track record, WHAT WE FREAKEN SEE.
"true Laker fans" What, the guys/gals making excuses for an underachiving player at the expense of the TEAM. Nah, I'll take team, and how IT functions before I make excuses for a guy(s) taking up valuable cap space. Because unfortunately money well spent ususally dictates W and L's. Not that you care, as long as you can make excuses for your boy.

I'm glad you notice this.

It happens in virtually every thread.

First it was only on Odom. But now apart from Kobe it is just one big bashfest on every Laker representative (players, managers, officials etc)

A simple thread will be turned into a complete smear campaign.
