We caught with newlywed Laker forward Lamar Odom and discussed a veritable smorgasbord of talking points such as his clothing line, fashion sense, power animals, and the word smorgasbord, which neither of knew how to use properly in a sentence.
Hey Lamar, how’ve you been since we last spoke?
I’m pretty sure we’ve never spoken.
Oh. Well, how’ve you been up to this point in your life then?
How’ve you been – you know what? Nevermind. Let me ask you about your clothing line. I’ve noticed you around town lately sporting tons of weird shirts with, like, lions and wolves and stuff on them. Is that part of Lamar Odom’s clothing line?
The sparkly lions and stuff. I notice you wear shirts that look like the ones my grandmother bought me at the D.C. zoo in 1981. Are they from the Lamar Odom line of clothing?
Naw, man. My Revelation line mostly has angels and crosses and stuff.
So … what’s with the power animals all over your duds, then? You know your clothes are dangerously close to what sci-fi nerds wear, right? Are you into power animals?
What’s your power animal?
Your power animal is Skittles?
Not wolves or lions or eagles? Skittles? I didn’t know fruity candy could be a power animal. That’s … that’s baffling.
Why aren’t you wearing your clothing line, Lamar? You’ll be seen in public with a sparkly lion shirt and a Kardashian, but not your own Revelation tee? That seems odd.
Yeah well. I like eagles. You know? Besides, we’re just trying to take it one game at a time.
And y’know … however I can contribute to help out the team, that’s what I’m-a do.
Dude, you’re like a smorgasbord of disconnected thoughts.
I haven’t had s’mores in years, man. So I don’t know.
No, not s’mores. Smorgas – you know what? Nevermind. Lamar, it was great talking to you … sorta. Good luck this year with the repeat and the reality show -
Ask your wife.
