Former NBA player Lamar Odom found unresponsive..

[TLSnell1981]

It doesn't look good. He's in a coma and it's being reported, that his organs are failing. There are rumors of an overdose..

Drug addiction is so sad. My thoughts and prayers for Odom and his loved ones

I just saw this on the news.

Very sad indeed.

I read about that last night. It's sad but I am not at all surprised.

heartbreaking

Drug addiction is so sad

It is.

Also is many's inability to process heavy emotions, as it leads to abusive substances for some. I was just commenting on Monday how sad I felt for him. How much he has lost in his life.

Yes many have lost and just lived their life, I understand. Good for you, good for them. But I think when you lose so much and you couple that with a very sensitive personality - which he is (almost typed was, sad) - well it's a brutal combination in my opinion.

Who is that? No clue whatsoever!

Title of the thread says he's a former NBA player.

Sad thing. I think the radio said he has kids. So difficult for them.

Former NBA player as mentioned. He spent 16 years in the NBA. But for people like me who are not basketball fans, I only know him as Khloe Kardashian's ex-husband. He's been on their reality shows many times.

I just read that they aren't officially divorced yet. That could lead to some interesting things if he does end up passing away.

So sad to me. I think he has lived a pretty painful life and this is how he has learned to cope. I hope he can pull through and turn things around.

Don't watch the Kardashians or basketball and have no idea who this drug addled brothel visiting idiot is.

It says Former NBA Player right in the title.

Then why waste your energies on this thread?

A little compassion goes a long way.

Plus there's a cool Internet search thingee called goggle...no giggle...wait! Google! That's it!

But you must have already searched, since you knew he was found in a brothel...

 

[lustergirl]

I'm sure the Kartrashians are going to suck up this publicity for all its worth.

Umm...yay, you?

You clearly know enough to know that he was found in a brothel. Unlike the NBA player part (which you somehow missed) that tidbit was not included anywhere in the thread.

I don't watch/follow the sport or the Kardashians either, but still manage to have compassion for him and his friends/family. From the comments in this thread, it sounds like he had many tragedies in his life (no, not everyone who experiences tragedies becomes a drug addict*, but drugs are (sadly) a coping mechanism for many).

*I'm assuming that he is a drug addict based on the thread, but I don't actually know (not sure if anyone really does or not).

I looked up his name to see why he was in the news after asking in this post. Don't know who he played for or care.

And no, I have no compassion for a possible drug overdose at a brothel.

Well, for some reason you find the story irresistible.
Your compassion status is noted. I think that pretty much covers it.
