LIFE WINNING ASSIST –
Mar. 27, 2026 – Lamar Odom is “56 or 57 days” sober, the former NBA star exclusively tells Page Six.
“No alcohol, no pot, no marijuana. And I’m just [continuing] to grow mentally and spiritually. I do try to be my best self and practice the Mamba mentality, which has been passed down to me by my late brother [Kobe Bryant].” Odom is reflecting on his near-fatal 2015 drug overdose for the new Netflix documentary,
“Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom.” Premiering Tues. on Netflix, the doc covers the former NBA player’s career, his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, drug addiction, and his coma following the overdose in a Nevada brothel in 2015. Odom tells us that because he was in a coma, he wasn’t aware of Bryant’s presence at the time, “But to know that he was there…when I’m reflecting on it, I think that’s probably what pulled me through. The love that I was getting from everybody. It’s always good to have support, and of course support from your brothers.”
Looking back on his use of drugs such as cocaine and crack – which he discusses onscreen in the doc – the former Laker tells Page Six, “I’m not the same person. I do everything in my strength to protect my sobriety.”
He adds that it’s “easy” to “backtrack” and call “a guy who used to deliver marijuana to me. But I’ve come too far to take a step back,” the former athlete tells us.
