One of the most popular players on the Los Angeles Lakers during their late-2000s run was Lamar Odom. The extremely talented forward was crucial to the team’s back-to-back NBA Championships in 2009 and 2010 and was also named NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2011.
There just weren’t many players like Odom who had point guard skills at 6’10, capable of creating offense for himself and teammates while also having the size to bang in the paint and crash the glass. Unfortunately, the story of Odom is also filled with tragedy and addiction and an upcoming documentary is set to explore all of it.
Netflix released the trailer for UNTOLD: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, which will premiere on March 31:
“The afterlife is not what people make it out to be.”
Lamar Odom, Khloé Kardashian, and others revisit his basketball career and the pivotal decisions that led to the infamous night at the Love Ranch that nearly cost him his life.

This looks to be an extremely riveting look at everything Odom went through in his life. His battles with drugs are well-documented and he has been extremely open about everything he did as he now looks to help others with their own addictions after surviving what many thought cost him his life. Of course, Odom infamously was found unconscious at the Love Ranch in 2015 having suffered multiple heart attacks and 12 strokes.
Odom’s Lakers teammate Metta World Peace and former coach Phil Jackson both appear in the trailer and there will likely be many others who played with him present in the documentary, as well as all aspects of his life will be covered.
The story of Odom is truly a unique one both in terms of his basketball career and his off-court activities as he also famously married Khloe Kardashian and was a reality TV star. When this debuts, it will surely be appointment viewing for many across the world.
Lamar Odom believes he would be in Hall of Fame if not for drug addiction
When it comes to pure talent, Lamar Odom was truly special and could have amounted to so much more in his career. But his battles with drugs never allowed him to reach his full potential in the NBA and the former Lakers star believes that is what prevented him from being a Hall of Famer.
