The docuseries 'Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom,' released on March 31, 2026, delves into the former NBA star's harrowing experience that nearly cost him his life. Lamar Odom is alive, a testament to his resilience, having survived a critical overdose in October 2015. He suffered 12 strokes and six heart attacks, an outcome doctors deemed medically impossible.
Despite his miraculous recovery, Odom has a documented history of drug and alcohol addiction. He faced DUI charges in January 2026 and previously in 2013, leading to rehabilitation. In 2013, he entered rehab shortly after a DUI arrest. Tragically, he relapsed in 2016.
Born in New York City in 1979, Odom had a notable 14-year NBA career, drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers. His personal life includes children Destiny and Lamar Jr. with ex Liza Morales, and the loss of their son Jayden to SIDS. He was also famously married to Khloe Kardashian, who supported him post-overdose.
With an estimated net worth of USD 20 million, Odom earned approximately USD 115 million in his career. He is now dedicated to sobriety and assisting others battling addiction.
