Former NBA star Lamar Odom, who won two championships and later married reality TV star Khloe Kardashian, is hospitalized after being found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada.

 

Odom was found unresponsive Tuesday at the Love Ranch in Crystal, the Nye County Sheriff's Office said. Crystal is more than an hour's drive northwest of Las Vegas.

 

"When they took him to the Pahrump hospital, the people there told us, 'He doesn't look good. He doesn't look like he'll make it, and if he does, he won't be the same,' "

Olympics and U.S. national team

 

Odom played in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens for the US national team, averaging 9.3 ppg while helping the U.S. to a bronze medal.[68] He was invited to play for the FIBA World Championships for 2006 but declined the invitation because of the tragic death of his son[69] and in 2007 because of a shoulder injury.

 

Odom would, however, be invited back for the national team's run at the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Istanbul, Turkey where the U.S. would win gold for the first time since 1994. Odom, being one of the elder statesmen on a young U.S. squad, served as a mentor for many of the younger players and even played out of position at center for the tournament.He led the U.S. in rebounds and finished the FIBA championships with double-doubles in the semi-final and championship games while becoming the first player in history to win both an NBA championship and FIBA gold in the same year.

I hope he recovers, unfortunately Hollywood doesn't learn this kind of excess sooner or later becomes dangerous and might cost you your life.

Addiction is devastating to go through. Sad to see this happen to anyone. I pray he recovers.

Now they're saying he was high also on "herbal Viagra" or he mixed it with other substances. I'm so naïve I didn't even know Herbal Viagra existed...

I find the Kardashians and the men in their lives really disturbing. Too bad this happened to someone so young, though.

[marylander1940]

I get your point, I don't watch them and I only hear about them through "the Soup" a talk show where they're constantly mocked and to be honest with you I find them to be so boring... For a reality TV show they're really bored, they simply have money and a transsexual dad was added recently. It's all about rumors of her having buttocks implant and who's the hottest, they have no talent but the ability to put drama on every day actions.

One more thing... what happened to him ain't a Kardashian thing. That family is focus on money they would never do anything like this and threaten their chance of making it.

 

In just a few years: H. Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith, Whitney Houston, Bobby Christina, Any Winehouse, Michael Jackson and so many others. I've never been famous, rich and powerful, I can't imagine how they feel surrounded by their entourage. I just wonder why the use drugs to a point that gets out of control and they keep risking their lives till losing finally killing themselves instead of simply enjoying life.

 

I'm still shocked Lindsay Lohan survived the 28-years-old curse!

Depression and addiction go hand in hand. Depression is often hidden.

Many of the pills marketed as safe herbal alternatives to Viagra and other prescription sex medications pose a hidden danger: For men on common heart and blood-pressure drugs, popping one could lead to a stroke, or even death.

 

“All-natural” products with names like Stamina-RX and Vigor-25 promise an apothecary’s delight of rare Asian ingredients, but many work because they contain unregulated versions of the very pharmaceuticals they are supposed to replace.

 

That dirty secret represents a special danger for the millions of men who take nitrates — drugs prescribed to lower blood pressure and regulate heart disease. When mixed, nitrates and impotency pharmaceuticals can slow blood flow catastrophically, leading to a heart attack or stroke.

 

An Associated Press investigation shows that spiked herbal impotency pills are emerging as a major public health concern that officials haven’t figured out how to track, much less tame.

 

Emergency rooms and poison control hot lines are starting to log more incidents of the long-ignored phenomenon. Sales of “natural sexual enhancers” are booming — rising to nearly $400 million last year. And dangerous knockoffs abound.

I just read a headline that he was also using cocaine.

Lam Lam, deja vue, all over again:

 

 

Lamar Odom was taken off a Delta flight Monday night after getting wasted in the airport lounge and vomiting on the plane ... TMZ has learned.

 

Lamar went to the Delta lounge at LAX before boarding a red-eye for NYC, and according to eyewitnesses was pounding down beers and whisky. By the time he got on the flight, we're told he was wasted.

 

Two passengers in first class tell TMZ, Lamar went to 4B and sat down, but as the plane was about to pull back he bolted for the front, threw up in the galley and then walked in the bathroom and with the door open threw up again. When he came out of the bathroom, we're told he had vomit on his clothes.

I used to take Stamina-RX. OMG i don't know how I didn't have a heart attack. My heart felt like it was going to explode and my face went beat red.

 

The only thing I can surmise is the Yohimbe they put in there. That raises your blood pressure. Probably other stuff too but I don't know. Would never again take any of that herbal shit.
