Lamar Odom's health must be almost back to normal because the hospital plans to release him within 10 days, according to Business Standard. This is welcome news to all of Lamar's family and friends, especially when no one was sure that he would ever come out of the coma. A source told Times Live, that no one knows where he will go after his release. He may go to a physical rehab facility, or he may come in as an outpatient. Lamar made a miraculous and speedy recovery after a four-day drug and alcohol binge at a Nevada Brothel, the Love Ranch last month where he was found unresponsive and emergency personnel were called. Then, just last week, Lamar's kidneys started working on their own and he no longer needs daily dialysis or a kidney transplant and he can even stand with help. This is a complete turnaround from a man who was in a coma for four days, needed kidney dialysis every day for six hours and could not stand, even with help. However, he was able to sign a document to put a stop to his and Khloe's divorce papers before they were signed by the judge. …show more content…
Khloe agreed to stop the divorce so she could be in control of his medical and financial decisions.She felt that people would take advantage of Lamar. Even though the doctors want to release Lamar, Khloe believes that he should go to straight into rehab, but Lamar does not agree. A source told Radar Online that Lamar believes he does not have a problem with drugs and refuses to go to rehab. The source went on to say, "Khloé has made it clear, Lamar won’t be staying with her. He has a loft in downtown Los Angeles, and there are other options that can be explored." Do you think Khloe will stick to her decision or can she convince Laamar to check into rehab?

Dreams come and go every night, but some dreams tend to stay for a lifetime. I have always dreamt to become a professional athlete in some way or another. Growing up I have always looked up to many different athletes.

How do you measure the greatness of the two biggest NBA superstars of all time? Michael Jordan is significantly known for being the ultimate basketball player in NBA history. However, LeBron James is considered one of the top basketball players in the NBA now. There inspiring leadership and unbelievable talent on the court makes it hard for us to choose a winner. James is continuously breaking NBA history, but Jordan's mighty legacy is considered unbreakable. Why can't both exceptional players be valued and appreciated, rather than compared?

Everyday he was improving and trying his best to get better. One day, he was playing by the courts when a whole team comes and asked him to play because they need two more people to play. Michael then noticed Scottie and asked him to play on his team so it would be fair. Michael could tell that he was better than he used to be, he was ready for whatever came next.

They had the possession and were already down the court, Michael knew he had to make this last
Basketball is a big part of my life, one year ago in tournament final game two of our best players were hurt and the team was relying on me. With the time winding down on the clock we were down 8 points.

Mitchell inbounded the ball to me as I came off of a screen, I had an some-what wide open shot, I took the shot, you could hear the crowd go silent as the ball left my hand and headed towards the basketball. It felt like everything was going slow motion, the ball was getting closer and closer to the hoop and I…….missed it. The buzzer sounded

One of the toughest times in Magic’s life was coming to grips with his diagnosis and then eventually having to announce it to the public. It all started one day when the Lakers had an exhibition game against the Utah Jazz. The team’s doctor Dr. Mellman called Johnson and told him he needed to get back to Los Angeles right that moment(Weinburg). Little did Johnson know that that his life was about to be altered forever. When he arrived back Mellman then told Magic that he had been tested HIV positive(Weinburg).
