Former NBA Star with Career Earnings Over $114M Evicted from Los Angeles Residence

NBA champion Lamar Odom has been ordered to vacate a Los Angeles home after allegedly failing to pay rent, according to a lawsuit.
Odom, who was the 2010-11 Sixth Man of the Year and won two titles with the Lakers, made $114million throughout his 14-year-career.
Lamar Odom recently faced a lawsuit in LA County Court, accused by a landlord of not paying $45,000 in overdue rent. Subsequently, a judge ruled that Odom must vacate the property by April 28.
The lawsuit claims that the former basketball star, who didn’t respond to the legal action, had entered into an informal, month-to-month rental agreement with Executive Recovery Group, Inc. back in December.
He allegedly agreed to pay $15,000 per month to stay there, with rent due on the first of every month.
However, Odom was accused by the property’s owner of not paying three months of rent from January 1 to March 31.
The lawsuit was first reported upon by the New York Post.
Daily Mail has reached out to Odom’s representatives for comment.
Odom, who nearly died of a drug overdose in 2015 at a brothel in Nevada, battled drug and alcohol addiction throughout much of his life.
As seen in the suit, Odom was to direct his rent payments to ‘Montage Recovery CA LLC c/o Elliott Liebhard.’
A LinkedIn profile for a person by the same name, Liebhard, indicates that he serves as the CFO of Renewal Health Group, which includes Montare Behavioral Health Group in its operations.
Odom’s listed address in the suit is the same as Montare’s ‘Montare on the Hill’ location in Studio City, which describes itself as a ‘mental health residential treatment center.’
Daily Mail has also reached out to Liebhard for comment.
Odom allegedly received notice to pay or leave the property, namely a three-day-notice on March 11 that was physically posted to the house, the complaint states.
The ‘fair rental value’ of the home was also valued at $500 per day.
Executive Recovery Group has also claimed that Odom was mailed the same notice a day later on March 12, as ‘no person of suitable age or discretion’ could be found at the home.
Ultimately, the former Lakers star and ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian was ordered by a court to leave the property and hand over possession of the property to the owner on April 28.
In addition to the unpaid rent, he was also sued for the forfeiture of the agreement, lawyers’ fees and damages in regards to the aforementioned ‘fair rental value.’
Odom is believed to have been sober since his brush with death and recently launched meme coin $ODOM, described as ‘the world’s first Meme coin with a mission to combat drug abuse.’
Odom’s foray into cryptocurrency recently led him to a crypto gala hosted by President Donald Trump.
And the 45-year-old was heckled by protestors as he made his way into the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia for the event.
Odom and about 200 others – who were all invited as top buyers of the president’s $RUMP coin – went to the gala and heard about Trump’s plans for bitcoin.
The No. 4 overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft, Odom began his career with the Clippers before spending seven seasons with the purple and gold.
He also had stints with the Heat (before his time in LA) and Mavericks, and finished up his career back with the Clippers in 2013.
