Basketball fans have all heard the news about the tragic events that led to Lamar Odom being placed on life support. But perhaps the one bright spot coming from Odom’s situation is the amount of support he’s received from those within the NBA community. One of his biggest supporters is former Los Angeles Lakers legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson who knows Odom on a personal level, serving as a mentor to him off the basketball court just as much as he does on. Since the heartbreaking news broke, Johnson hasn’t been shy talking about who Lamar Odom is as a person.
