Lamar Odom believes that his addiction to drugs only began when his son died. The life of the 37-year-old basketball player changed forever when he received the shock news in 2006 that his six-month-old son Jayden had died of sudden child death. Not only did he think of the little ones every day, he also believed that the painful loss was a turning point in his life. That was when his cocaine addiction started. He wanted to numb his pain with the drugs. Hopefully the athlete will catch himself soon.
