CelebNSports247.com reports Lamar Odom, 39, recently revealed he struggles with short-term memory loss as a result of his stroke, heart attack, and coma.
Lamar Odom suffers memory is serious since the repercussions of his near-fatal overdose caused him to have a stroke, heart attack, and coma while in the hospital.
Lamar Odom says:
My damn memory. I can’t remember shit.
Details revealed on Lamar Odom Memory Loss:
These days something as simple as dribbling a basketball has become quite difficult for him.
Odom continued to tell Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News:
From the stroke, some of my balance is not the same, my equilibrium is not the same, but I’m working on it to get it better. Handling the basketball came so naturally. When I see that going between my legs and going behind my back is a problem, I think that’s the coma and stroke and heart attack.
Earlier this year, Odom was a member of Filipino squad Mighty Sports at the Dubai International Basketball Championship. These days Lamar is trying to continue his basketball comeback by playing for Ice Cube’s BIG3 League.
Lamar concludes by saying:
For me, it’s just a blessing to be able to play. I’m just refining all my skills. I think God made a deal with me. He said, ‘I’m going to give you life, but I’m going to take your basketball skills.’ But I don’t mind working to get it back. It’s going to be a tedious process, but it’ll come back.
Lamar Odom REFUSES to Listen to His Fears:
The NBA star recently spoke about his health and NOT giving into his FEAR:
What do you think is the number one killer of dreams? It’s fear. Today, my body is healthy, my mind is at peace, I love my children and they love me. That’s it. It’s the ONLY thing that matters in my life today. What is an accomplishment to you? And why? You will accomplish NOTHING in life if you don’t start fighting your fears. Fears are lies. Voices in your head that will tell you to give up. Voices telling you that you can’t and won’t. The biggest battle I fought in life is the fight against my fears. The reason I am making a comeback to basketball is that I REFUSE to listen to my fears but instead follow my heart. My heart, telling me that I have to play basketball one more time to show people that you can OVERCOME addiction and LIVE a happy life enjoying the little things. I used to win NBA championships and chances are small that I will ever be playing on NBA level or maybe I will. Who knows? I am a believer in the POWER OF WILL, that’s how I won my championships. I believed I could and I did! But listen to this, I don’t have to be an NBA champion again to make a difference in the life of my kids, people around me or even in yours. Maybe I can show you that you can become a champion in defeating your addiction or help others defeating theirs… Those are the real champions of this world. We need more of these messages in this world today. It’s the year of execution not talking. I’m ready for you. For today, I hope you can shut down that voice of fear and see how the universe is gonna reward you back for just believing in yourself. #fearisalie ? @ryanloco
