Last week, when former NBA forward Lamar Odom was fighting for his life in a Las Vegas hospital, Scott Van Pelt captured on SportsCenter the disconnect between Odom's NBA career and his publicized role as the husband of reality TV star Khloe Kardashian.
"His fame was earned as Sixth Man of the Year, as a multiple NBA champion, as the result of his significant role with Los Angeles Lakers teams and being a beloved NBA teammate and peer," Van Pelt powerfully noted.
