Odom and Kardashian: Could they be making a hasty decision?

Could all of the rumors about Khloe, the least popular Kardashian sister, and L.A. Laker's Lamar Odom be true? It's difficult to tell whether or not the two will last, but the rush for the wedding soirée makes many skeptical. The wedding is set for Sunday at the Bel-Aire residence of friend and music industry genius Irving Azoff in L.A. With a guest list of about 250 friends and family, invites to Odom's teammates, E! stars, and of course other famous family members have been sent. Kobe Bryant, step brother Brody Jenner, Ryan Seacrest, and Kathie Lee Gifford are just a few names that may be filling the seats at the Kardashian-Odom wedding this weekend.


Many are probably wondering why there is such a rush to marry. Is she pregnant? Is there a sweet money deal involved? Who's in need of the attention from this publicity stunt? Well, apparently the two are just madly in love. Hard to believe, but the 29-year-old basketball star is just ready to settle down seriously. In 2006 he lost his third child to SIIDS. It's only been eight years since he asked his ex-fiancee to marry him, which never actually happened. The two had been dating since high school and he could just never commit. Now, three years since the death of his youngest child, what can we expect from the talented man?


Issues with his personal life have affected his game before, and even now it's a wonder how serious Khloe Kardashian can be in his life. With the stunts she pulls in her new show, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, it really makes it difficult to believe that she will be just the support he needs to excel. If you aren't a basketball fan, then you might not know that Odom's team took the NBA Playoff championship title this year, marking their 15th title.


It's not that I have a problem with the Kardashian, it's that I have a problem with relationships throwing off an athlete's game. There are so many issues already in Odom's past, and with such a quick move to get married, it makes me think that this probably won't last long and his game may be affected. Here's an idea: Why don't the Kardashians stop ruining people's lives! Yes, this was overdramatic, but my love of basketball makes me feel as though this is a direct hit on my emotions.


Early congratulations to Khloe and Lamar!

  1. Very nice article. I agree with your assertion that Lamar Odom's game may be affected if Khloe screws up. Which is more than likely going to happen. My love of basketball compels me to dislike this decision as well.
