Lamar Odom

It does not happen a lot, but yesterday the Clippers beat the Lakers 99-92. That evened the series at 1-1 for the season, but Lamar Odom seemed to take the loss particularly hard. It caused him to lash out and shove Blake Griffin with under ten seconds remaining in the game.  Sports Report 360 Presents 4 Reasons Lamar Odom Shoved Blake Griffin In The Lakers Loss To The Clippers Because:

1.Blake Griffin Stole Lamar Odom’s Cookies- Lamar cares about his junk food more than basketball or Khloe.  Lamar did not like the fact that Blake reached his hand in the cookie jar and stole the ball from him on multiple occasions.

2. Blake Griffin Makes Dunks and Layups- Lamar does have a high field goal percentage from the field, but Lamar has established the reputation over the course of his career of missing easy dunks and layups that he should make.  Blake Griffin takes advantage of his opportunities by consistently making dunks and layups. Lamar is jealous that Blake makes dunks and layups with such ease.

3. Blake Griffin Poster-  Lamar committed the cardinal sin of coming over late from help position on defense.  That ensured Lamar that he will be in the background of the latest Blake Griffin Poster.  Lamar is trying to become a reality show star, not another innocent bystander looking up at Blake Griffin finish a highlight dunk.

4. First Ballot Hall Of Fame-  After 11 years in the NBA, multiple NBA championships Odom thought he had an outside shot at the Hall Of Fame. It was tough for Lamar’s ego to handle the fact that Blake Griffin will make the Hall Of Fame, when he may not.
