Odom shooting 70% through 5 games, making history

Odom -- 35-of-50 for 70 percent -- is the first NBA player to do that through the season's first five games since Charles Barkley went 43-of-60 to open 1991-92. And Odom's deadeye start includes 8-of-10 from 3-point range -- the Chuckster went 32-of-137 (23.4 percent) from the arc that season.



:clap: :bowdown:

he's playing with so much confidence right now, but damn thats a heck of a hot start.

Lamar hitting step back 3's was definitely eye opening. So smooth.

He's not going to keep up this ridiculous production, but I do hope he stays consistent...

This. His percentage will surely go down, but let's all hope and pray that he stays consistent, before and after Bynum comes back. If Odom is on like this, the Lakers are very difficult to beat.

of course he's not going to keep this up, it would be the the greatest season of all-time.

Wake me up when his freethrow percentage goes higher than his shooting percentage.

Didn't help my fantasy team....

How do you shoot like that against the cRaptors? They don't have one defensive big on the team!

Simple difference is, he played this summer rather than sitting around drinking Margarita's. If we have this same Lamar throughout the season its a wrap
