According to show business news website TMZ, Lamar Odom's drop off in performance after being released by the Los Angeles Lakers was not about age. The site reports Odom has a 'hard core drug abuse' problem that not only affected his game but also his relationship with celebrity-wife Khloe Kardashian.
Kardashian reportedly insisted that the star player go to rehab last August and she even had bodyguards ensure that Odom did not try to leave the rehab facility. TMZ said that Odom was clean during the NBA season but after his team, the Los Angeles Clippers were elminated, he began using 'hardcore recreational drugs.'
An intervention was done by the close-knit Kardashian family to convince the basketball player to return to rehab but according to TMZ.com, he refused to cooperate.
According to therichest.com, Odom's net worth is around USD56 million. His earnings did not only come from his basketball contracts, but his show with wife Khloe Kardashian entitled 'Khloe and Lamar' also added to their personal wealth.
