Kobe Bryant’s death has left a lot of people uneasy. Lamar Odom, a former Laker’s teammate of Kobe compared Bryant’s death to the passing of his infant son stating, “it seems rather surreal … it feels like a long-lasting nightmare” Odom held back tears as he continued to reminisce on the memories of his former teammate, “I’m gonna miss him dearly … His tutelage, his strong will … I’m just blessed I was able to rub shoulders with that man, and have a little bit of that magic dust sprinkled off on me,” Lamar Odom said. “I know I’m feeling really bad and his fans are, I can just imagine how his children and wife and his mother and father feel right now.” “I haven’t really felt pain or a shock like this since my son passed away in 2006,” Odom said, referring to 6-month-old son Jayden, whom he lost to sudden infant death syndrome. Odom shared just how painful the loss was proving when his interviewer said that listening to him speak was “as if a part of you was ripped away.”
Odom had also shared a lengthy tribute on Instagram calling Bryant, 41, like “a teacher and me being his brother.”
“No way God took my brother this early,” he wrote. “When I went through that Coma situation if God would have come to me and said we would take me and spare Kobe I would have rather that happened,” he said, referring to his 2015 overdose at the Love Brunch hotel in Nevada, in which he suffered 12 strokes and six heart attacks while in a coma.
