Lamar Odom won two NBA championship titles in the Kobe Bryant & Pau Gasol era and is fondly remembered by the fans, he recently was involved in a crash accident that fortunately didn't have grave consequences.

Also, he just was a guest on the Knuckleheads podcast with Darious Miles and Quentin Richardson when asked about who of his teammates he would choose to play with. Odom chose Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Udonis Haslem out of all his former teamamtes. They are two Lakers and two Heat legends.

“Imma say D-Wade, Kobe, Pau, and not including y’all, I’ma say Udonis Haslem,” Odom said. Haslem was the only non-Hall of Famer on the list, but Odom explained why he would put the Heat legend in his five.

“When I think about Udonis Haslem, I think about his last run with the Heat,Odom said. “I think about – damn – how his players look at him. I know how they look at him. They respect him.”

The 2000's "Big 3" won two back-to-back NBA titles

Bryant and Gasol are choices that almost every Lakers fan would have guessed, as they won two NBA titles with Odom during their careers. The trio helped the Lakers win in the 2009 NBA Finals against the Orlando Magic and the 2010 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. Odom was extremely important to those championship teams, averaging 13.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the field and 33.0 percent from beyond the arc across seven seasons with the Lakers.
