The Dallas Mavericks' Lamar Odom, the 2011 Sixth Man of the Year and a two-time NBA Champion, is unlike any other player in the NBA. At 6'10", Lamar has the quickness, ball-handling, passing and shooting skills of a guard, and melds them effortlessly with the post-up moves of a power forward. He is the consummate teammate, providing whatever it is that his team requires, all with a selfless passion for the game of basketball. During his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers, his stellar play was instrumental in capturing back-to-back NBA Championships. Selected fourth in the 1999 draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, Lamar would go on to play for Miami as well before arriving in LA. Prior to the NBA, Lamar played a single season at the University of Rhode Island, where he led the Rams to a 20-13 record and an appearance in the NCAA tournament. Lamar also appeared on the USA's 2004 bronze medal winning Olympic Basketball Team in Athens. Off the court, Lamar helps support underprivileged youth in New York and Los Angeles through his charity, Cathy's Kids, and is also an actively working entrepreneur looking to make his mark in entertainment and fashion.
