Lamar Odom Credits Kobe Bryant for Staying Sober

Lamar Odom shared that he is currently 56 or 57 days sober, emphasizing that the mindset of his late brother and former teammate, Kobe Bryant, is a crucial source of his strength. He actively practices the Mamba mentality, which Bryant passed down to him. This profound brotherhood is a central theme in the upcoming Netflix documentary, "Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom." The film revisits Odom's near-fatal overdose in 2015, an event that prompted Bryant to rush to his bedside. Although Odom was unconscious at the time, the knowledge of Bryant's loyalty has become a cornerstone of his current sobriety. He described Bryant's support as a key factor in his survival and recovery, stating it felt like a "miracle." Despite a recent DUI in January, Odom is committed to his cognitive recovery, using the Mamba mentality to sharpen his mind through reading. He is dedicated to protecting his sobriety, viewing any relapse as a life-or-death situation and expressing a strong desire to live a long life.
