Former Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom has been in the news due to his unfortunate circumstances in the past. However, the former NBA champion finds himself in the media spotlight again as he was reported to have been evicted from his LA residence for failing to pay the monthly rent.

The Lakers forward was evicted by his landlord after failing to pay the back rent of $45,000. As per the report, the 45-year-old had entered into a verbal agreement with the Executive Recovery Group Inc., the sublessor of the mansion in Studio City, California, in December to pay a monthly rent of $15,000, due on the first of each month.

The entity proceeded to sue Odom for not being able to pay his dues. A notice was also sent to the former Lakers player to pay the sum of $45,000 within three days.

Overall, he was sued for past-due rent, forfeiture of the agreement, attorney fees, and damages. March 17th marked the date when the lease agreement was forfeited, as per the report.

Odom’s personal life started going downhill ever since he left the Lakers in 2011.

After joining the Dallas Mavericks, he certainly wasn’t the same player anymore. After retiring in 2013 at the age of 33, he saw a drastic shift in his life’s trajectory.

From being an NBA champion in 2010 to drug abuse leading to almost overdosing in 2015, Odom’s private life continued falling apart.

His marriage to Khloe Kardashian had also been on the rocks during this period. Although his near-death experience postponed the divorce, it was only a matter of time before their relationship was severed as well.

After 12 strokes and six heart attacks, Odom gradually found his way to recovery. Unfortunately, his situation doesn’t appear to be getting any better.

On the verge of being evicted from his home, the former Lakers star continues to face more struggles in life after the NBA.

Odom’s NBA career itself was rather impressive. After being drafted as the fourth-overall pick in the 1999 draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, he went on to have a stellar career, spanning 14 seasons.

In this time, he notched an average of 13.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, while shooting 46.3% from the field.

While being named to the All-Rookie team, Odom also secured two NBA championships during his time with the Lakers. Given how valuable he was to the franchise during their 2010-11 run, he also earned the 6MOTY award.
