Nursing a Comatose Lakers Vet Helped Khloe Kardashian Deal With Serious Medical Situation in Tristan Thompson’s Family

The Kardashian family members have dated some of the biggest stars in the NBA over the years. What connects James Harden, Lamar Odom, Devin Booker, Tristan Thompson, and many other NBA stars? They have all dated a member of the Kardashian and Jenner family at some point in their life. One of the biggest high-profile relationships a few years ago was Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian. 

Although the two started off well, their marriage ended due to Odom’s issues with cheating and drugs. During an interview, Kardashian revealed the one valuable thing she got out of her relationship with Odom.

How former Laker helped Khloe Kardashian in a special way

Lamar Odom was one of the biggest NBA stars during his time in the league. Playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, he won an NBA title alongside Kobe Bryant. He is also known for being the former husband of Kardashian. In 2015, the NBA veteran was discovered in a comatose state in a Nevada brothel. During that time, he was going through a messy divorce with Kardashian.

Leaving all their differences aside, Khloe rushed to her former husband’s side and saved his life. It looks like this experience has helped Khloe Kardashian a lot.

Amari Thompson, the younger brother of Tristan Thompson, suffers from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). As a result, he needs 24/7 support while being wheelchair-bound. Thanks to her experiences in handling patients during the episode with Odom, Kardashian has turned out to be one of the biggest support systems of the 17-year-old. “We don’t know what the he*l we’re doing. And I say ‘we’ because I am on all of the medical stuff for Amari”, said Kardashian while speaking to People.

She further revealed, “I don’t know if this sounds really dark and I don’t even know if anyone would understand this … but I feel like I’m equipped with the tools because of what I went through with Lamar, who couldn’t walk, who was bedridden, who couldn’t speak for months.”

Khloe Kardashian grew really close with Amari when he lived with the model and influencer during Tristan’s home renovation.
