(BlackMediaScoop) Lamar Odom says he’s absolutely NOT a drug addict, doesn’t need professional help and is confident he’ll play in the NBA next season.
But critics say he’s wrong on all 3 counts.
33-year-old Odom went to Teru Sushi in Studio City Monday night and after taking some pics with fans, he finally addressed the media about his alleged drug issues, claiming everything is cool.
But is he in denial? Just about everyone in his life — personally and professionally — knows about his battle with substance abuse, including his wife Khloe Kardashian.
In the last year alone, Lamar has been thrown out of hotels … busted for DUI … spent time in rehab … and dropped from multiple NBA teams.
Still, Lamar insists … “Life is good.”
We’re still praying for him…
What do you think?
