| Odom and Bryant sharing a laugh onthe bench.  |
Arguably the best sixth man in the league Lamar Odom, has been a gem off the bench for the Los Angeles Lakers. The versitle Odom has been playing his best basketball of his life this year. At 6'11 Odom can play off the ball, under the rim, you name it. The Lakers are the tallest team in the NBA with Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum also on the roster and the depth of Odom adds another tree inside. In 2009 Lamar signed a 33 million dollar four year deal and since then his worth has shown even more. Helping the Lakers to three straight finals appearances and two rings, he is poised to do it again. Coach Phil Jackson has recently came out in public and calls Odom, "invaluable" to the Lakers. He can play the any position on the court offensively and with a player like his caliber, he would be starting for any of the other 31 ball clubs. He is third in scoring on the team with 14 points per game, third in rebounds with almost nine, and is shooting (53.8%) from the field. Now who wouldn't want that kind of player on their team?
