Hooped Up

Lamar Odom and Blake Griffin time this alley-oop perfectly.

San Diego based artist Mark Sgarbossa captures Lamar Odom driving to the basket in vivid color.

The heads of Chris Paul, Lamar Odom, Chauncey Billups and the Los Angeles Clippers send their holiday greetings and wish you a safe and happy new year! The Clippers graphic design team would have wished you a happy holiday too, but clearly they were already on vacation.

Khloe back and so is Lamar Odom. After a few rings and a forgettable stint with the Dallas Mavericks. Odom is back in LA with the team that drafted him back in 1999. Allow him to reintroduce himself Tinseltown.

Mo Williams will be reunited with the Utah Jazz as part of a four-team deal that will send Lamar Odom back to Los Angeles for a second chance with the Clippers.

The deal initially was believed to involve only three teams, but a fourth, the Houston Rockets, got involved after Thursday’s draft. The Rockets received the rights to the Clippers’ 53rd overall pick, Furkan Aldemir, and the Jazz sent the team’s trade exception to Dallas. The Mavs also received cash considerations from Houston.

It was a long time coming and Monday it finally happened. After 50 lack luster games together, Lamar Odom and the Dallas Mavericks pulled a Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian by deciding to break up.

“We’ve got to be able to look down that bench and count on folks to be consistent,” general manager Donnie Nelson said. “Unfortunately with him in his state right now, he’s just not capable of doing that. I say that with his best interest in mind. He’s going through a very, very tough personal time. We certainly understand that. But we’re in the thick of it in the West and we’ve got to win games.”

This season Odom averaged 6.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 20.5 minutes which were all career lows.

Odom got a lengthy standing ovation when he entered Monday night’s game as a reserve midway through the first quarter. The Lakers honored him during the ensuing timeout with a video tribute and a scoreboard message: “THANKS for the memories LAMAR.”

“It was a little surreal walking into the building and a little surreal to be in here, looking around the cramped visitors’ locker room. “But it’s time to play and help my team win. I’ve got to kind of get that first one out of the way.”

But mostly your wife or girlfriend that you force to watch basketball, will still be more concerned with how Khloe Kardashian felt seeing her sisters in LA again naturally.

Lamar Odom in a Mavericks jersey looks pretty weird. Not dude with an extra finger or bearded lady weird, but weird none the less.
