Former Laker Lamar Odom reflects on first hit of cocaine, near-fatal overdose and more in new doc
NY Post
Lamar Odom pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to the criminal charges he was hit with following his January run-in with cops in Nevada.
Odom’s attorney, Kevin Coburn, submitted the plea on the former NBA player’s behalf inside a Las Vegas court room.
At the proceedings, Coburn also requested a bench trial for his client, which was set for July 7.
Odom is facing three misdemeanors in the case — one count of DUI, one count of speeding 41 MPH over posted speed limit and one count of failure to properly maintain travel lane — after authorities alleged he drove over 100 MPH while under the influence on a Las Vegas highway on Jan. 17.
An incident report stated Odom was pulled over for going well over the posted speed limit of 65 MPH and he smelled of marijuana during the ensuing traffic stop.
The former Laker was then arrested after he allegedly failed field sobriety tests.

SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
