Following numerous unofficial reports that former Los Angeles Lakers forward and current free agent Lamar Odom has gone missing, a representative for the basketball player sought to quash the speculation surrounding his client and his whereabouts Tuesday, assuring reporters that Odom is safe and sound in a local crack house. There have been a lot of rumors flying around about Lamar lately, so I just want to make it perfectly clear that he hasnt gone missing; he just hasnt been seen recently because hes smoking crack in a crack house, said Odoms agent Jeff Schwartz, clarifying that the two-time NBA champion has, since his supposed disappearance, been spending time in a burned-out apartment building in Los Angeles Inglewood neighborhood, which Schwartz described as Lamars favorite crack house. While I know a lot of people have expressed concern that Lamar hasnt been heard from in a few days, I want to emphasize that theres absolutely no cause for alarm here. Like I said, hes just in a crack house, smoking crack with a bunch of other people who are also smoking crack. He does this all the time. Schwartz added that the reason his client is smoking crack is because hes addicted to crack.
