The magician once said of Odom: 5% concentration can make him a super giant. what do you think?

This guy, 2.06 meters tall, has extraordinary ball control ability.

This guy is stout, but his explosive power and athletic ability are equally amazing.

This guy can shoot, dunk, organize and do anything on the court. ...

Yes, there is almost nothing Odom can't do on the court.

Therefore, he has the title of "left-handed magician".

And this guy, isn't he a "genius"?

But such a "genius" player can only get 13.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.88 steals and 0.93 blocks per game in his career, and the best individual award is only 1 the best sixth person.

Such data has nothing to do with greatness-not even all-star players.

But it is such an "unremarkable" player that Lakers owner Buss likes him, Magic Johnson praises him, and Kobe thinks he is his good helper. No one doesn't like him.

Then why is this?

He has an unparalleled talent-comprehensiveness.

You know, many years ago, power forward was actually an awkward position.

You can easily name those super centers and super defenders-Chamberlain, McCann, Russell, Si Long, West and so on.

There are really few star players at power forward.

Think about it, in those years, power forwards usually played the role of coolies in the team-rebounding, defending and blocking, but when it comes to scoring, it is more important to give the ball to guards and centers. The number of shots available to power forwards can be said to be very small.

So at that time, the power forwards were usually muscular men-it was convenient for them to grab the boards, defend the inside players one by one, and sometimes serve as bodyguards for star players, such as Mahon and oakley.

Until charles barkley and Malone showed up.

They are all star players of their respective teams, with more ball rights, arbitrary jump shots, back-hitting, and Buckley's elusive three points.

But they still can't get rid of the traditional power forward's work-blocking, rebounding, helping people pick and roll, and hitting people.

Until the 1990s, the appearance of chris webber and Garnett brought fresh blood to the league-technical flow power forward.

Their comprehensive performance surprised the whole league. It turns out that power forward can still play like this, and there are such gorgeous techniques.

Since then, the alliance has entered a new era.

Odom is one of the representatives of the technical flow power forward.

Odom can control the ball, score and rebound, cooperate with teammates, block and steal, and even launch a fast break on his own.

The first game of his career was against the Sonics. Facing the peak of Weinbeck and young Lewis, he paid 30 points 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, which shocked the world.

Newcomers can average 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists 1.3 blocks 1.2 steals per game, which is very rare all-around data.

After joining the Lakers, Odom's role has been fully played.

Whether he is a starter or a substitute, his role is maximized.

Odom has the top passing IQ, gorgeous but solid dribbling, dazzling fast break, all kinds of fancy passing and fauvism dunk, which achieves a perfect balance between elegance and violent aesthetics.

Watching him play is like returning to the era of "show time" for the Lakers.

But his performance is only 14 points and 8 rebounds per game.

You can attribute this to his negligence.

But I think this is caused by the lack of education.

His father ignored him since he was a child, and his mother died when he was a teenager. He has been raised by his grandmother.

Grandma died in 2003, and the youngest son died in 2006, which was a great blow to him.

But no one can guide him correctly.

If there is such a person, you can always remind him by his side.

Will his attitude be less frivolous?

Will his will be less weak?

Could it be that he can successfully embark on the road of super giant?

We don't know the answer.

As fans, we can only firmly remember Odom's once omnipotent gorgeous figure.

When our descendants asked us what kind of stars existed in that era,

I will introduce him as a few treasures, a meteor streaking in the sky, a "child" who hasn't grown up yet.

The magician once left such an evaluation of Odom in his conversation with Buckley. At that time, the magician held out five fingers to Buckley and said to him, "If Odom can concentrate, he will become a superstar." These five fingers don't represent 50%, but 5%.

Focus on 5% and you can become a superstar. Obviously, the magician spoke highly of Odom. Fans who don't know the market at that time and only know Odom's bad negative news may question the magician's evaluation, but in fact, Odom's evaluation at that time was not low, and the title of left-handed magician is enough to tell everything.

What is Odom's talent? As a rookie selected by the Clippers in the 4th pick in the 1999 draft 1 round, Odom's static talent is excellent, with a height of 2.08m and a weight of104kg. His wingspan is also good, and he can take charge of all positions.

In addition to physical talent, Odom's other abilities are equally outstanding. As one of the most comprehensive players in the NBA at that time, Odom had gorgeous playing style, strong personal explosive power, quick response, flexible inside footwork, excellent passing vision and so on. In a word, Odom's comprehensiveness cannot be summarized.

The netizen's evaluation of Odom's talent is compared with McGrady. It is often seen that Odom's talent is no less than McGrady's. To know that McGrady's talent is one of the best in NBA history, many fans are willing to call it the first talent in history, even Joe Wang can't compare with it. This shows that Odom's talent is absolutely extraordinary.

Borrow a joke from fans: drugs almost killed him, and now he is alive and kicking. This kind of physical talent is a top-level existence not only in the nba, but also in all mankind.

With such a comprehensive talent, how did Odom fall into the abyss? Odom, who made his debut in high ranking, scored 30 points 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the first game of his career, which surprised the NBA. In the rookie season, Odom averaged 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists 1.2 steals 1.3 blocks, which not only secured his starting position, but also made him the best rookie team. It is no exaggeration to say that debut is the peak.

In the second year, Odom grew steadily, averaging 17.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists 1.0 steals 1.6 blocks, and gradually became the core boss of the team. However, the first turning point in his career was in the third season, when Odom became the most reliable star of the Clippers. However, he was banned for eight games for smoking marijuana. With injuries, Odom only played 29 games this season, averaging 13. 1 6. 1 5.9 assists 1.2 blocks.

In addition, the Clippers got elton brand from the Bulls this season, and the team's center of gravity has changed. Everyone knows that Odom's clipper trip is over. Odom knows very well himself, and even bluntly won't renew his contract with the Clippers.

After that, Odom joined the Heat as a free agent, and still showed good strength and comprehensiveness in the short season of the Heat, helping the team reach the second round of the playoffs. At one time, Wade and Heat were regarded as the key figures of the team. But unfortunately, Riley saw that O 'Neal didn't renew his contract with the Lakers, so he pursued O 'Neal crazily and put Odom on the trading list as a key bargaining chip.

Odom, who returned to Los Angeles again, is still strong, but it is difficult to get better. Gradually occupying the starting position of the team, Odom gradually became the most reliable teammate around Kobe, but the poor playoff record for several consecutive seasons made Kobe lose patience, and Kobe once had the idea of leaving.

The arrival of Gasol kept Kobe Bryant and the Lakers saw hope. Unfortunately, Andrew Bynum's injury and Lamar Odom, who had no choice but to be a power forward, did not achieve the expected results. 2009 should be the second turning point of Odom's career. He started to play for the Lakers as the sixth man, so the data naturally declined in an all-round way.

This year is also the time for Odom and Kardashian to register for marriage. After being with Kardashian, Odom, who had a precedent, was contaminated with alcohol and drugs and was photographed vomiting on the plane. After the divorce, Odom was once diagnosed as brain death by doctors.

Although in the last season of the Lakers, Odom once again turned the tide, averaging 14.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists, winning the title of the best sixth man, but the Lakers were swept by the Mavericks in the western conference semi-final and had to adjust the team. In 2065,438+065,438+0, Odom left the Zijin Dynasty for seven seasons.

There is nothing to say in the last two seasons. Odom's career ended the moment he left the Lakers, and his chaotic private life became the main battlefield.

What is Odom doing in the post-NBA era? After leaving the NBA, Odom did not give up his beloved basketball career. He had a short trip to Europe for gold, but it ended early because of a back injury. After returning home, Odom still wants to play in the NBA, but he doesn't want to play in the NBA at all. Even if the Knicks gave him a chance in a hurry, Odom was quickly laid off and didn't play a game because he didn't have the attitude and spirit that a professional player should have.

After that, Odom also wanted to release the last heat of his basketball career, throwing stones at major overseas leagues, joining the Philippine team in the Dubai Basketball Championship, and even announcing that he would continue his basketball career in China. In 20 19, Odom was laid off by the BIG3 league for physical reasons, and this time he bid farewell to his basketball career completely.

Now Odom has a new life, a new girlfriend, an active life and positive money. For Odom, my girlfriend made two rules for Odom. One is to install anti-pornography security software on the mobile phone to prevent Odom from browsing unhealthy content on the mobile phone. The second is to refuse to live together before marriage, which will not have anything to do with Odom before marriage.

Personally, the success of NBA stars is not only a matter of innate talent, but also a matter of acquired self-discipline and diligence, and so is Kobe's success. This is an unchanging law since ancient times. The moral of the story "Shang" is simple, just to emphasize the importance of hard work the day after tomorrow, and Odom lost here.

The Ball is the same, seeking common ground while reserving differences. I am the god on the right hand side.

Friends who are familiar with the Lakers must be impressed by Odom, who is the sixth player of the Lakers during his two consecutive championships and usually appears on the court in the crucial fourth quarter. He is gifted and versatile. What hinders him from becoming an all-star player is his difficulty in concentrating.

If he can concentrate on 5%, Odom will become a super giant. Buckley and Magic Johnson left a classic conversation: the magician held out five fingers and said to Buckley, "If Odom can concentrate on these things, he will become a superstar." Buckley said, "50%?" Magic Johnson said, "No, 5%".

Magic Johnson's statement is of course exaggerated, but it also shows that Odom's concentration has a huge problem. In the Lakers game, we can often see Odom wandering, sometimes he can't catch Kobe's pass, sometimes he has problems running, and sometimes he loses his defense. In short, leaving is very common, and his problems have been criticized by fans.

With Odom's talent and ability, the greatest honor he won in his career is only the best sixth man, which is unreasonable. On the offensive end, he can be a big man, in the position of 2343, can hold the ball to break through, can play as a defender, has the ability of three points in one hand, and can also organize attacks. His role in the Lakers is to "make up for what the team can't do." On the defensive end, Odom is also very comprehensive. He can be number three, number four and number five. Of course, the Lakers often change their defenses at the second, third and fourth positions, and Odom contributed a lot. It is based on this ability that Phil Jackson trusts him very much and always chooses to keep him on the court at critical moments.

Odom has a top-notch physical talent, excellent skills and comprehensive play. Such a player has a bright future. When the Lakers traded O 'Neal to the Heat, Odom was the Heat's main bargaining chip and the Lakers' most important one. So I have been training him vigorously, hoping to become the second master of Kobe Bryant. However, contrary to expectations, Odom's attention on the court was always difficult to concentrate, and later he got involved with the Kardashian family, which eventually ruined his future and made people sad.

If Odom can concentrate, if he can discipline himself, he may really become a superstar.

Lamar Odom was selected by the Clippers in the 1999 draft. Odom also performed well in the first season, averaging 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Also selected for the first team of the best rookie team.

In the 2003-04 season, Odom joined the Heat, but only played for one year, then joined the Lakers and became Kobe's right-hand man.

On February 9, 2005, he scored a career-high 19 rebound against the Nets.

In the 2008-2009 season, the Lakers defeated Magic and won the championship. Odom led the second team, and he made great contributions.

In the 2009-20 10 season, the Lakers defeated the Celtics of the Green Army and won the second championship of Odom's career.

20 10-20 1 1 season was awarded the title of the best sixth person.

Then I went to the Mavericks and the European team.

On 20 13 12, Kardashian filed for divorce with the court.

But Odom miraculously survived. After watching Kobe retire on 20 16, he announced that he would return to the NBA. Although he didn't come back in the end, he joined a non-professional team. But this is enough to prove how tenacious Odom's life is.

On 20 16 10, Lamar Odom also officially divorced Kardashian.

Anyway, Odom's experience is legendary enough, but I hope he can cherish his body more and don't do too many things that hurt him.

It's a super giant!
