50-50 on his survival at this point.

Our sources say doctors are saying 4 of Lamar's organs, including his kidneys, are failing. As we reported, he's had a series of strokes in the hospital and has heart problems as well.

The doctors are saying with each failing organ the chances of survival go down significantly.

and your reasoning behind this?
the guy has/had a drug problem, married a dbag of a woman, has had some personal issues like his sons death. that alone is enough to mess a normal person up.

doesnt mean hes a bad guy

Edit:

This is what Magic Johnson says: ( from that article)

What most people don't realize about Lamar Odom is that he's a better person than he is a basketball player.

You can BET they are discussing if it would upset the public vs. the great ratings.

I didn't realize that technically, they were still married.


A good history of Odom is here.

Dude, everyone that has come forward says the same thing about Odom. They all echo the same sentiment. He's a good person, and until you walk in another man's shoes, dont judge.

It's unfortunate that he and his buddies fell into a world of drugs and it is very obvious that he had no support system around to help him. I remember him saying that the Kardashians were the first "family" he ever had. Sometimes money and fame is not all you need. A loving family and friends that stick with you and support you thru the ups and downs is more important. In the end, he is a multi-millionaire who was alone in a whorehouse.

The sad thing is that Lamar has been struggling for years now and as far as I know, after his separation from his wife, no one has tried to help. Not the Lakers. Not any of his former teams or team mates. Not that it's their responsibility, but why wait until he's got a 50-50 shot lying on a hospital bed to come to his side and offer support?

I hope he somehow recovers and is able to lead a peaceful life. This is a father of 3, who perhaps needed support from family and friends he didn't have.

Apparently, the Kardashians showed up to the hospital with a film crew for their show but thanks to HIPPA, filming was prohibited.... Smh. Unbelievable.
