Lamar Odom NBA Basketball Card 2000 Fleer No 8 in Excellent Mint condition, see photos. Lamar Odom was one of the most versatile and uniquely gifted forwards of his era, widely regarded as a prototype for the modern, positionless NBA player. Selected fourth overall in the 1999 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, the 6-foot-10 lefty possessed the size of a power forward combined with the elite ball-handling, vision, and playmaking skills of a point guard. While he showcased his star potential early with the Clippers and the Miami Heat, Odom truly solidified his basketball legacy as the versatile Swiss Army knife of the Los Angeles Lakers from 2004 to 2011. Serving as the perfect complement to Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, he sacrificed a starting role at the request of coach Phil Jackson to anchor the second unit, a move that proved vital in securing back-to-back NBA Championships in 2009 and 2010. His selflessness and elite elite bench production culminated in him winning the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award in 2011. Finishing his 14-year NBA career with averages of 13.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, Odom left an indelible mark on the court as a consummate teammate who could seamlessly control the tempo, sacrifice individual stats for winning, and guard multiple positions.
