From Pau Gasol to Joe Smith: Assigning Each Laker A Nickname

Lamar Odom- Mr. Versatility

Lamar Odom can play every position, from point guard to center. He has an array of talent and he is the Lakers’ best bench player. No other member of the roster has the versatility that Odom has, and whenever he is having a good night, the Lakers are unbeatable.

Odom has been great in his previous seasons with the Lakers, but this year is by far the best season of his career. He is putting up all-star numbers, and he is also making a case for Most Improved Player. The Lakers would not be where they are now if it were not for Odom’s versatile and multi-dimensional play.
