He's really bothering me now. Fans have the right to boo. I know it's not ideal + it sucks to hear
Mavericks forward Lamar Odom drew the most reporters after Monday's practice. It was his first home practice since last Wednesday's home game against the Lakers, during which he was booed on several occasions. Tuesday's game against Houston will be his first home game since the Laker-game booing.
Odom was asked whether fans are reading him incorrectly this season.
"I've never been booed in my life," he said. "So if it's to the point where I'm playing a basketball game at home and I'm getting booed, I would say _ no disrespect _but maybe I think people took things the wrong way.
"I admitted that I was out of shape for different reasons when I came into camp. I admitted what I've been through. I was honest about how my summer went, how I almost left the game and everything I went through. And I think people just took it the wrong way, like if I had a reason not to be here _ or I didn't want to be here.
"I think people took that the wrong way. Next thing I know, I'm trying to come out of a slump and I check into the game and I'm getting booed. I'm not really used to that."
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle did not play Odom in last Friday's game at San Antonio. Odom and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had a heart-to-heart discussion prior to Saturday night's game against Houston.
Odom was asked how much the booing bothered him.
"It's part of the game," he said. "I understand, but it usually happens on the road. I've always had a lot of pride to play for the name on the back of my jersey. I've always been more prideful to play for the name that's on the front of my jersey _ whether it be USA or whether it be the Mavericks or the other team I came from. I always had a lot of pride.
"So it was a little confusing and a little hurtful, but it's the sport world. I understand. We're in a business that it's all about what have you done lately, or the last game or the next game?"
Did it anger him?
"I would say confused. I wouldn't say angry, because there are a lot of sides to Lamar Odom, know what I mean? Sportsman is one of them. I'm a father, a husband, someone's son, someone's cousin. So there's a lot of roles that I have to play in life. Basketball is just one of them. So I can't let it get me angry because I have a lot of other roles to fulfill."
Here's another theory...Ya'll have a theory for everything.
Khloe doesn't have a 'donk' but she's always had a little something back there. Even Kourt has a tiny bit of booty and she's quite thin compared to Kim and Khloe. All of them have a little something.....Kimmy just decided to get take it to the extreme.
He actually agrees with your sentiments. He understand that this is part of sports and it is business, in articles that are not slanted to give fans a bad view of Lamar, he sounds like reasonable.
Lamar is not the first player to not fit into a team and he is not going to be the last, especially since he had been playing the triangle offense for 7 seasons, a shortened season where he hardly participated in training camps, a mavs offense scheme that does not suite his game and all of this scrutiny. He just needs to get through it and I think he will be fine.
Kobe Bryant gave the only fair comment about the reason why Lamar isnt playing well in Dallas.

The KKs love to live their lives in front of the cameras and therefore have to be prefect. Hair, teeth, boobs, nails, noses -- everything needs to be better than what they were born with.
I think Kourt used to have big inner thighs and that's something very hard to exercise away... lipo helps.
Don't you think all the KKs have had lipo?
Khloe did it for the money. Pam A does more for her cause, not just working with PETA. I think Naomi did the campaign back in the day, but she rocks a mean fur every now and then.

Love that yellow bikini on Kimmy.
No, I don't think all the KKs have had lipo.Neither do I believe Khloe got a boob job, a butt lift.
People are so quick to point to any and all changes in their bodies as PS like real women's bodies don't change and fluctuate. IDGI. If they have had lipo well, more power to them. PS talk doesn't interest me and I really don't care who does what. Not my body, not my concern.

Lamar looks kinda sweet spending time with the kiddies.
I'm confused. If Khloe supported PETA, why was her whole wardrobe un PETA like??? Was she vegetarian? Her bags and shoes were leather right ?
I don't support PETA but I also don't support wearing of fur, eating certain animals , hunting certain animals but I'm not veggie, buy some animal products... I assumed one was full on PETA-fied if you pose for them ??
She has a butt, but those pants are just skin tight and the type of cut makes it look bigger. IMO
