Lamar Odom could face a rehabilitation period of at least six months as he seeks to recover from a life-threatening collapse on Oct. 13, according to his close friend and former college basketball coach Jim Harrick.
Odom has spent the past week at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and is in significantly better shape than when he was rushed to a Las Vegas medical facility following a three-day binge at a Nevada brothel that involved alleged cocaine use and left him unresponsive.
Odom was the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in 2011, a two-time world champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and an Olympic bronze medalist with Team USA at Athens in 2004.
