- This week we got one y’all been waiting on since the jump. Our original teammate and good friend, Lamar Odom joins Knuckleheads. The Clippers and Lakers legend goes through it all: what it was like growing up in Queens, running the city with an AAU team filled with future pros, and how he ended up at Rhode Island for school. L.O. gets into those early 2000s Clippers teams, his culture shock when he went to Miami and then got traded to L.A. for Shaq. He goes into his relationship with Kobe and what it was like to win two championships with the Lakers. Lamar Odom, everyone - tune in!!

i dont think people realize, these dudes were one of the very 1st athletes with a successful podcast. they really opened up a whole lane and i hope they get their flowers 🙏🏿
Nah.. it started off with Matt Barnes and Jack
@@BrotherhoodOfShadow1no it didn’t
@@BrotherhoodOfShadow1
No, those race hustling 🤡 came after Pat McAfee.
@@BrotherhoodOfShadow1they were before Matt and Stak .
It really started with JJ Reddick
It's great to see Lamar healthy, smiling, and enjoying life.
He not his best self glad to see him alive and well though
@@StullaKingKuulany day above ground is a best day for anyone fam!
And seeing all three Legends together again... truly the Clippers origin story.
I love how this podcast focused strictly on his hoop career, seen other podcast that asked him more about his personal life. This is why this one of the best bball podcast
1000% agree
They keep it all ball. None of that Vlad shit
Facts I don’t like it when people try to ask about his past doing drugs or Khloé Kardashian I like strictly basketball personal stuff ain’t for us to air out
@@TheRealMisterChopShop LO is so real and transparent, the other shows tend to take advantage of it to get the clicks. He willingly brought up some stuff on this podcast but Q and D didn't even feed into it and changed the subject
As it should be.
Lamar Odom one of the most underrated talents ever.
🎯💯
Word bro! That dude was talented bro
For real.. I remember watching his Rhode Island games. People don't know how truly skilled he was for a big.
Real talk Lamar could do it all at a high level
FINALLY! Should’ve been one of the first episodes!
Damn he Grateful 🤦🏿♂️.
Right 😂one of my favorite
Damm about time
He wasn't healthy.
They should’ve had a full 00-02 Clippers reunion
As a Laker fan and SoCal native who’s in his 40s now, this episode is iconic.
No offense, but Fcuk the Lakers. Odom is one of ours.
How you all have only 9 thousand subscribers baffles me..this my fav podcast on the net
Odom in today's NBA would be 🔥
Easily averaging Damn near a triple double 💯💯
@@TARIELHIMSELF facts he would kill in this era
I could see him avg 21, 8 and 9
Nahh fr
Great to see LO smiling!!
Man it feels good to see LO doing much better, giving insight on all the years in the league. Fire pod fam, y’all always deliver
2k needs to add the early 00' Clippers in the game because they was fun to watch back then!!! L.O, Q.Richardson, D.Miles, Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, etc
Love that squad
@@seansimms6693 FR!!! Fun team to watch back in the days
The 09 Magic too!
@thegeneral9706 fr!!! Forgot about that team. They was nasty with D-12 in the middle
@@the-general_mannn nobody asked
YO YO YO WE LIVEEEEE ON LOCATION
If this show was consistent they be number 1
Yo YOO YOOOO..WE LIVEEE ON LOCATIONNN! Finally the Big 3 gets together need to do a Clipper reunion episode and get Maggete n Brand with yall. Glad to see Lamar doing great man despite everything after his career. He was on some special special teams with Wade's HEAT AND Kobe's Lakers where he was a big part of the success there. Great episode! My fav pod keeps the heat coming! #DoubleTap 🌳🔥🌬😎
Waited on this for literally years, finally got it and it didn't disappoint. A Top 5 Knuckleheads pod.
Yes!!! My favorite player of all time. Lamar Odom!! The reason why I’m proud to be a lefty. Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
such a unique player ahead of his time. i cant imagine how fun he would be to watch with more possessions, freedom and spacing in today's game. i was a huge fan of him as a long time laker fan
@@allthingsbasketballpodcasttrue his game would translate so well in todays game. Playing a PG in todays NBA 😅
He's so underrated, his ceiling was much higher than most but he never reached his max potential
@@isaacj427 seriously!! props to him for putting individual things aside and being such an x factor on those championship teams
I got a clippers jersey of him he really was a clutch and dependable role player for every team he played for 🎉❤
Im part of that era at Riverside after Odom.I played at Mt st Michaels and Riverside .Those years from 96 to 04 was crazy for hs aau ball for us in NYC.... people really dont understand unless they were there....Class 1998 -2002.....Rip to Joe Gluss....Bx 12
You see anyone who played D1 or in the league? Would love to hear some stories on who was the nicest
Factz… shout derm, Kenny P, coach banner…Ernie lorch was a pedophile …. Riverside and gauchos were the top dawgs in the city for that era
CANDY MAN!!!! 🍬 🍭 One of My Favorite Lakers Of All-Time!! Thanks for many great years, Back To Back Titles. Love You L.O.!!!
Yoooo I forgot about that he would always be eating candy 🍭 😂😂😂
Aka the goods
The young Clippers of 20 years ago changed everything.
That story about Krause is wild!
I agree.
only thing that couldve made this classic conversation better...was another hour
As a fellow Jamaica Queens Native, I followed Odom from the Day at Rhode Island throughout his career. Dude had Madd Game yo! Although he had his issues as we all make bad choices, we live and learn and move forward. Big Ups to Lamar!
Lamar Was A Special Talent, Loved Him As A Player And As A Lake Fan….What He Did For The Lakers, Was MAJOR!…Will Forever Appreciate Him, His Talent And Him Sharing His Story And Keeping It 100
I appreciate that NO dirt was thrown out at LO from the Q & D. Thank you guys. That's so dope. Keep it real and keep Trash out of the Podcast. God Bless You, LO. A Real OG.
I know that's right the drink champs interview made me sick how they treated Lamar.
Lamar humble soul..most underated baller... 1v1 with the game of life now ..please win...
Darius still looks at lamar like he his big brother . Thats love
This episode was straight 🔥
Queens Get The Money. South Sides Finest. Love forever L.O.
Clippers,Kings,Twolves,and mavericks was fun to watch bk then
thanks for bringing our guy on the show, once a Lakers always a Lakers.
This one was another banger. Id love to see Luol Deng get on here! Dude had an awesome college and pro career. Now he’s help building up the basketball leagues in Africa. Would be a good listen 🙏🏻
I love the way D. Miles speaks
Lamar is a solid dude....I remember running into Lamar on the 91 freeway in Cali off Beach Blved. We were stuck in traffic, and he was driving a Mercedes Benz. He was a Clippers then i believe. Anyway I yelled out to him and said, "Yo You have a nice car! He was like thanks Man! I told him you need to be Laker. He said some day bra thats my dream. I told him keep grinding and be ready. He said no doubt fam appreciate the support. He yelled out Do you know anyone who got Weed? 🤦♂️i was like Bro really? LoL!! Car to car I Throw him a gram sack😂 to him. Wish my guy the best .
LO!!! One of my favorite players and people ever. The man was a super star talent that unselfishly took a back seat to team up with Kobe and win. Salute much love and good to see this man looking healthy and happy.
I was rockin this squad back in the 2000’s, when everybody was a Lakers fan. I couldn’t find their jerseys nowhere, so I was having to order personalized jerseys with their names and numbers on em ha ha
Unc looking healthy, hope he stay that way
LO is a legend in LA. Always will have love for him
I am happy to see LO healthy and doing well. I have a great amount of respect for the young fella. I used to always see him with a group of kids on Jamaica Ave shopping when he came home. Respect!
Lamar the best player in rhode island rams history 💯🤌🤘
Loving this pod! Lamar was a baller!
I don watched KG episode for the 11th time!!! Being from the Chi its all LOVE. #114TH WALLACE BOY
I love hearing about old hoop stories man
HES DOING ALOT BETTER NOW. REALLY HAPPY TO SEE. LFG LAMAR.
I can feel he’s on that booga suga ❄️⛷️
Yes sir. 😂😂😂
Laker Nation loves Lamar. Glad to see him doin well. 🙏🏽
That Nike commercial was definitely iconic lol. Shout out to scary movie 2
Maaaan I just love their chemistry! I loved them so much in the early 00s so to see them sit back and talk ish is amazing!
This might be one of my top 3 favorite knucklehead episodes cuz this feels like one of the convos you have with your boys on the ride home after y'all just played
Loved this episode! So awesome to see y’all having a great time.
!!!!
Loved this guy's game, loved the way he could pass and all around skill. Julius Randle should study some Odom tape from the Lakers days.
Randle does not have the handle, passing vision or finesse to duplicate Odoms game
I agree, I'm just saying he needs to get a better handle (solid for a 4 man already) and work on passing and vision
I remember that Alley oop. That was freaking amazing
He was good in clippers remember that team young players
Pat Riley probably liked Lamar so much because he reminded him of Magic or he was sorta from that mold.
Another great interview. I honestly expected more from Lamar. He was amazing from day one but I'm still glad he won rings and now he's back in his right mind mentally and physically.
I wanted to hear him talk about that battle between him and tmac at the abcd camp
You need to get Pau or Ariza. Great episode though. Always nice seeing Lamar doing great right now. Keep it going guys.
They had Ariza already
@@c.thompson7613right
My dude. ✊️
Lamar looking so much better cuh that's dope man he back
Listen in from Korea~
Love your show
QRich n Dmiles~
LO ~~~
Man... Finally. Love the lefty. Doing everything.
Really everything.
L.O must be D.Miles favorite person in the world lol never seen him so genuinely invested and interested in what a guest had to say 😭
I love to hear his experiences growing up as a ball player, because when i was still young enough to ball and get out there , He was one of the best players in the country, and when you hear about what he was doing, you know you had to put in a whole lot of work to ball with him or against him ... I loved it, because that generation of ballers was a real tuff crowd
Man, these 3 guys right there…put the Clippers on the map back in the day.
Much respect to LO! Got to meet him in LA some years ago and he was super cool. Glad to see him doing well! 🏆🔥🙏🏾
He played With Preston Murphy at Rhode Island. Preston from Saginaw, MI
Big LO!!! Great to see him UP spirits!!! One of my favorite lefties as a fan of the game. Nothing he couldn't do on the court!
Startin off my mornin right 👌🏾🥂
Those Clippers jersey's was 🔥 🔥!! I had the D. Miles jersey in college with the red,white, & blue headband.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great guest. So many on this podcast and others have spoke on Odom's talent and as a teammate. Gotta respect that. I would've loved to see the Heat get Lamar early in his career. Knowing Odom's style off the court, its interesting he said he didn't have anyone to learn from and admitted he missed his opportunities in part cuz' of that. I also love them talking about D Wade. I got his jersey on my wall today.
This ep is has me cheesing. All this Laker talk brings back memories, nba 2k needs to put some respect on those lakers teams. 3 trips to finals is special.
Even tho bynum got injured. He was a problem. The only championship won by two guys coming out of HS.
Enjoyed the positive laid back energy coming from these brothers 🏀
Y'all need to get Van-excel and spreewell on here. I've never heard or seen them do interviews via a podcast or something
Van - Excel was on here already !!!!!
@@freshrich736 my bad, we need Sprewell then lol
*van exel
I love the podcast! Is there anyway you guys can put up clips of your playing days. I didn't get to see any of these plays you guys are talking about. I'm about to go look for some highlights of you guys on the clippers.
Loved this interview 🖤💯
First I want to say love and respect to Q and D Miles watched y'all since day 1 ball and the pod keep doing it.very happy to see LO healthy and back too 100, that's strength Fam and blessings watching you from R.I til now......Sun you're an inspiration pass ball never stop being you.
Great conversation!!!!
Its about time they got Lamar on the podcast. Nice to see the three former Clippers teammates together for the podcast and they gotta get Elton Brand.
THERE'S NO DOUBT that ally-oop was the greatest EVER! Ever.
This was a great one
Yall know we have been waiting for this.
Need a shareef abdur rahim interview asap he was nasty, post game was ill and he had handles
The most under rated player of all time!
I agree part of that legendary 96 draft
@@younglove3362 your not lying, his post game was official, one of the best I ever saw, nice handle plus he could shoot from long range, damn shame he never got recognition
He was so fucking different & smooth !!! 💯💯💯💯
My favorite episode! Love from Chicago bro! Good stuff Lamar Odom 🔥
My favorite player of all time LO. Killer lefty. Nba champion! Kobe’s pippen.
Love Lo! Chilliest hooper ever with an amazing story of success! Lakers 4 life!
Great show fellas. Asking the tough questions I respect that even thou you guys are boys.💪

Respect to "OUR" Brother ...Lamar Odom.... Lakernation
A good jawn,... Raheem was nice, played in Nike Cup Classic in Ohio 98 saw him and Michael Redd go back and forth in the chip game, Scorelord. L.O. a bul on the east coast🤞🏽💪🏾💪🏾
Loved this episode! 🧡🏀🧡
Fire interview, Odom a chill dude
L.O was NICCCE. 1st time I saw him playing for Rhode Island I was in disbelief. A 6'10 guard?! Naw this ish ain't real. 😂
Love Odom Lakers years, Kobe loved him. Great interview
*OHHHHHH THEY FINALLY GOT HIM ON THE PODCAST!!!* I remember the Clipper “Brotherhood” with all of them & Corey Magette.
Great interview.
He said, Stromile Swift!!! Lol
Lamar looking healthy !! Humble soul
@@davidmcTurdi get like that from smoking sometimes, or drinking doesnt have to be coke. He def seemed like he wanted more to drink playing and looking at the cup like that 😂
this was a great show
