FishFan24 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Really a sad story. EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Laker player Lamar Odom's 6?-month-old son has died, a spokesman for the team said Thursday.Jayden Odom died Wednesday night, apparently suffocating while sleeping in his crib in New York, according to John Black. "Lamar is very distraught," Black said. "Both he and the baby's mother are asking that people respect their privacy at this time." Jayden was born Dec. 15. Odom has two older children -- a son and a daughter. The 26-year-old Odom came to the Lakers two years ago in the trade that sent Shaquille O'Neal to the Miami Heat. Odom averaged 14.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 80 games for the Lakers last season and 19.1 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists in their first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns. C/O Espn.com Best wishes and prayers goes out to Lamar and his family in their time of sorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullDurham Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Wow, that is sad. I remember my grandmother telling me about a nephew of hers from her father's side of the family (and named for her father) who died of SIDS just before Pesach, and also in California. What is in the water there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
