Really horrific news about Lamar... I just hope and pray that he makes it through, and straightens himself up for good.

I saw on other sites that people couldn't understand why he was transported between hospitals. Pahrump is way too small of a town to have the quality healthcare that a city like Las Vegas has, and it's only about a hour drive or so. Less with lights and sirens.

He was my favorite player when we drafted him. When I was stationed in VA I drove to D.C. to watch him his rookie year. I've never been able to get over him blasting the fans to the Miami media when he went there because the fans never gave up on him when he couldn't stay sober. But man, you don't want to hear about anything like this happening to someone so young.

If he pulls through I really hope that this is the wake up call he needs. This man needs a good support system in place.

On my way home from picking up something to eat, I heard Dr. Drew on the radio say that he doesn't think he'll make it. He said the term "unconscious" used to describe his condition upon finding him, basically means he was dead and that they're keeping him alive artificially.

I heard the story and hope he's ok, but after reading what Ranma said

Sorry Lamar

Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul visit Lamar Odom

After the Clippers landed in Los Angeles on Wednesday night to conclude an exhausting whirlwind trip to China, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan turned around and got on another plane that evening. They flew to Las Vegas to visit Lamar Odom.

"He probably has no idea we were there, but just to be there and to see him, hopefully he knows there's a lot of guys that love him and want to see him do better and want to see him get better," Griffin said before the Clippers' practiced Saturday.

Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said the team talked about Odom's condition while they were in China before their 113-71 loss to the Charlotte Hornets in Shanghai on Wednesday.

"It’s just really a sad thing," said Rivers, who coached Odom in 2012-13. "Lamar was here. He was one of the first calls I made when I got here, if you remember. We brought him in, and I basically told him, ‘Get right and you have a job.’ Obviously, he couldn’t get that part of it right."

Paul was so affected by the news of Odom's condition that after the Clippers' preseason loss in China on Wednesday, he delivered a special message to his former teammate on television: "We love you, man. Keep fighting."

Added Paul: "LO is just one of those guys who, when he was on our team, he had that veteran leadership. He knew what it took to win. He was very lighthearted. When things got a little bit too serious, he was the one who kept us relaxed and laughed and stuff like that. He's just an unbelievable guy."

I'm glad that Lamar is awake and that he's doing better. I honestly was expecting the worst, but I'm things haven't gotten worse.

Ya, definitely encouraging to hear he's breathing on his own and able to communicate. Still not sure how much brain damage he has or anything. Wish him the best. If he does make a full recovery hopefully it is a wake up call to him and he stays clean. He genuinely seems like a good person.

Glad to see L-O is getting better.
Hopefully he makes a full recovery.
