Having presented himself with a life-size gift, it was time for Lamar Odom to give back to the community. Although the Grinch made an appearance at Odom’s giveaway drive, the former NBA star did not let the notorious Christmas villain steal the joy of thousands of children with whom Odom interacted and presented with gifts.

Teaming up with Fully Torqued star Steve Pazmany and the LAPD Devonshire PALS Center, Lamar hosted a toy drive that was nothing short of magical. Imagine walking into a warehouse overflowing with toys—enough to fill Santa’s sleigh a few times over! That’s exactly what the kids saw when they showed up.

Odom, meanwhile, was all smiles, handing out toys to over 3,000 children. Thanks to sponsors like the Los Angeles Lakers and Fully Torqued, the event was a massive success. Thus leaving countless kids with memories to cherish. But this isn’t new for Odom. His commitment to giving back runs deep.
