Former NBA champion Lamar Odom‘s condition is reportedly improving following a publicized hospitalization earlier this week.
According to reports, Odom’s heart has shown signs of improvement.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us, tests on Lamar’s heart Friday morning revealed his heart function is “much better.” Doctors have told Lamar’s friends and family this is a good sign of improvement, that a critical organ is responding. Doctors have asked for “calm” in Lamar’s room because they do not want him stimulated …. because non-stimulation promotes healing. (TMZ)
UGK’s Bun B relied on Twitter this week to speak out on Odom in light of media painting him as merely a reality television star.
ESPN host Scott Van Pelt shared similar thoughts on the situation during a broadcast last night (October 14).
“Kardashian reality star? No. No, no, no,” Van Pelt said. “Lamar Odom, unlike those for whom fame is oxygen, who’s fame comes in the absence of accomplishment, his fame was earned. As Sixth Man Of The Year, as a multiple NBA champion. As the result of his significant role of the Los Angeles Lakers teams and being a beloved NBA teammate and peer.” (ESPN)
Rap star Lil Wayne accidentally sent out his condolences to the Odom family Wednesday (October 14).
thats good to hear.
Drastic turn for better? Is that some kind oximoronic headline?
I thought the same thing; who the fuck is writing this stuff? A negative connotation with a positive outcome…
