Lamar Odom beasts at Cleveland (28+17) (2009)

The triple double vs Chris Webber (a injured Chris Webber though) might have been good, but this actually might be Lamar Odom's career game. Lamar scores 28 points and grabs 17 rebounds while Kobe is struggling with the flu to help the Lakers defeat Cavs, who had not lost at home that season. The 15 points and 10 rebounds in the 3rd quarter changed the whole game. One of my favorite performances by Lamar. February 8, 2009.

Not my usual type of upload (check out my channel if you like 80s and 90s NBA), but I had to make this one day.

great upload ! and a good way to get our minds off yesterday's meltdown.

I think LO and the Lakers staff should play this video and see that all LO has to do is be in or around the box, and good things happen.

LO's settling for more jumshots this year, which isnt too bad since he has the range, but i havent seen him go strong to his left from the center of the 3PT line and kiss it off the glass in a while. He should be doing that more often cause i dont think any one can stop him with the long arms he has.

None the less.. great unselfish player and happy to have him as a Laker. :rocking:

Once in a blue moon performance for Lamar.

The most impressive part is that he did all that with Luke in the starting lineup

Probably his best game as a Laker. He just dominated the boards, even moreso than usual.

He's had plenty of great games since, but he was the star in this game.

Underrated, and he's been excellent this year. The scary thing about him is he's shooting the 3 ball pretty well this year.

I love it as well, however Lamar's at his best when he doesn't get carried away with shooting the 3, but instead takes it to the hole and stays aggresive. He can get by almost everybody opponents put up to guard him, there simply aren't many players as fast and tall as he is. Like in this video when he abuses Wallace for a couple of times.
