Ted Green: For Lamar Odom, basketball is the sweet science

So one doctor, and I’m sure there would be many others, believes Lamar Odom’s up-and-down play, which can be maddening, is directly attributable to his terrible sweet tooth, all the candy he admits he eats almost around the clock. They think Lamar gets high on sugar, then crashes, accounting for his annoying tendency toward lackluster, low-energy performances.

Lamar, trust me, he Snickers at such talk.

So does his personal trainer, Willy Wonka.

What planet is that doctor from, Mars? What an Airhead!

He obviously Sees something we don’t.

Somewhere there must be Mounds of evidence to the contrary.

All you have to do is watch the Lakers front line of Lamar, Pau and Trevor, The 3 Musketeers.

Look how cut Lamar’s body is. He’s certainly no Jelly Belly.

Even if L.O. has Butterfingers, I feel confident the Lakers will still Crunch the Magic.

So does everyone up and down the California coast, from L.A. to Ghirardelli Square.

Green formerly covered the Lakers for the L.A. Times. He is currently Senior Sports Producer for KTLA Prime News. He prefers Kit-Kats.
