Pod #11: Lamar Odom Story: Who to Blame?

After Lamar Odom’s recent drug-fueled meltdown, I decided to step back and see who’s to blame for this. Do we blame E! and Khloe Kardashian? Or the Lakers for trading him to the Mavs in 2011 for a first round pick? Or is Odom at fault? In this episode, I carefully discuss each of these angles, as well as the likely cause for Lamar’s recent downturn, which wasn’t mentioned in most sports outlets.
