Lamar Odom Falls Asleep On Courthouse Bench During Child Custody Hearing

Los Angeles Clippers forward Lamar Odom has had a bit of a rough ride on the court the past couple of seasons.

Things are not exactly going swimmingly off the court either, as Odom recently fell asleep in a courtroom while attending a custody hearing, according to the New York Post.

Odom and ex-girlfriend Liza Morales are currently fighting over custody of their two kids, 14-year-old Destiny and 11-year-old Lamar Jr. The couple split several years ago, and their relationship became especially icy when Odom married “celebrity” Khloe Kardashian shortly thereafter. Morales recently wrote a letter to The Daily Beast lamenting how things played out.

Odom certainly did not make a very good case for himself as a parent with his little mid-hearing snooze. Here are the alleged details:

“The 6-foot-10 hoopster’s legs dangled well over the short, second-floor wooden bench. His impromptu nap drew the attention of a Manhattan court officer.

“Excuse me, are you OK?” the officer asked Odom.

After the player said he was fine, the officer said: “I need you to sit up.”

Odom complied but slumped over, resting his head on his hand.

If you wanted to defend Odom, one could could argue that he has a hectic schedule and was just trying to get a little rest while the lawyers were out of the room. But still, it would seem reasonable to expect a person to stay awake the entire time during something as important as a custody hearing for their kids.

Not a good move, Lamar, not a good move at all.
