Yes he's needs to be working in basketball and clean up his head as well.

Could you imagine the crocodile tears if he had kicked the bucket?
The mind boggles.

(111,117 posts)Usually, people who wake up within three weeks have the best rehab potential. Chances are he'll need rehab of some description after this binge, cognitive or physical. "Awake and talking" can still cover a lot of neurological ground.
I hope there is enough left of him to realize he needs bigtime help this time.

On the other hand, I'm not at all sure that making the Lakers suck less is a good thing.

(135,776 posts)In surveillance video obtained by ET, the 35-year-old basketball star is seen at the brothel surrounded by and talking with women, as he walks through the halls with them. An employee tells ET that Odom ate a steak dinner on Saturday, and was "sweet."
Odom arrived by himself at the legal brothel late Saturday night. Love Ranch owner Dennis Hof previously told ET the former NBA player "was in a great mood" and paid $75,000 for his stay. According to an itemized receipt obtained by ET, Odom was charged by four women on Saturday, and racked up a bar tab of $1,036 for the day. He also paid $100 for limo transportation.
"It was Lamar's idea. He said, 'I'll give you two girls for $75,000 the entire time I'm there -- minimum of four days and max of five days," Hof said. "We picked him up at his place in Las Vegas, brought him out there, great mood, ready to have a good time. He just wanted a little peace and quiet and get away from the pressures of his life."
