Odom's Role May Still Be Evolving If Phil Jackson has his way, chrysalis will happen a little more rapidly for Lamar Odom. A week ago, the Laker coach compared Odom's chances of becoming a scorer to the slow, delicate process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. He has since told Odom to shoot more often, reversing his season-long mantra of letting the game come naturally to the Laker forward. "He just said, even if it's not going to be in the offense, make my own play," Odom said. "He's giving me the green light. I'm going to do that. It's my coach telling me just to go, don't worry about nothing." -- Los Angeles Times
Good to see Odom is stringing some good performances in a row. Lamar is a perfect compliment if he's playing like this.
