After retirement, Odom not only lived a luxurious life, but also indulged in excessive lust and sucked white flour. In the end, his marriage broke down, and Kohler also divorced him. In 2015, Odom was dying due to excessive contraband, and almost lost his life.

The news that Odom was critically ill caused a great sensation. After the incident, the Kardashian family rushed to the hospital to visit, and the Lakers and Kobe also visited. Fortunately, Odom survived and finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital. It was precisely when he walked in front of the gate of hell that Odom decided to change his mind and become a new person.

But Odom has been spending too much over the years, and has been involved in porn, gambling, and D, and has lost hundreds of millions of assets. Odom went bankrupt and he still owed huge gambling debts.

Kobe helped Odom pay his gambling debt

Odom is one of the most all-round forwards in NBA history and is known as the "left-handed magician". The most glorious period of his career was seven seasons with the Lakers. With his comprehensive skills, Odom became one of Kobe's most trusted teammates, helping Kobe win the 2009 and 2010 championships. Success on the field created a friendship between the two. Kobe regarded Odom as one of the best brothers, and this friendship continued outside the field. After retiring, Odom lost the direction of the field, which made him fall into the confusion of life. The temptation of gambling gradually swallowed up the once all-around striker, and the gambling debts he owed were growing more and more like snowballs. The pressure of life made Odom breathless and was threatened. At the end of his life, Odom mustered up the courage to call Kobe for help.

Later, Kobe passed away, and Odom recalled this experience on a podcast show, his words full of guilt and gratitude for Kobe. According to Odom, Kobe is a super thrifty person in terms of money, but when Odom calls him, Kobe on the other end of the phone scolds and scolds him mercilessly, and is disappointed. But after the scolding, Kobe still couldn't bear to watch Odom fall into depravity and asked Odom's creditor to contact his agent. According to Odom, gambling debts have six figures.

But now it seems that Odom has remained unchanged for so many years and has not quit bad habits. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why you can't even pay the rent.

Although Odom went bankrupt, his fame is still there. He earned some living expenses by frequently speaking on podcast shows and revealing stories with Kobe. In addition, Odom also has a lot of fans on social media and can make some money.

Odom was born on November 6, 1979 and is over 45 years old. According to the NBA's retirement age regulations, you can receive a pension at the age of 45. With Odom's 14-year football age, you can receive at least 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars.

Relying on these sources of income, Odom cannot afford to pay rent, which can only be said that he cannot change his previous consumption habit. No matter how bad it is, he can find a job in the NBA or be a commentator, but Odom hasn't done it. Who is this blamed?
