How Lamar really feels about being a sixth man?

| | Comments (1) |

Whether he actually does become a sixth man is still way too early to determine, but here's what Lamar had to say about the idea raised by Lakers coach Phil Jackson last week:

``I don't think it will be a problem when you're playing together. It's too bad it has to be politics and business around the game, especially when you have a team like this. It's not right for me to be selfish at this time,'' Odom said.

``I walk into the locker room and I'm like, 'Damn, this team is going to win the championship.' I want to be a part of that. But ... It's definitely conflicted emotions. I might wake up today feeling one way and wake up tomorrow feeling another way. This is the team I want to be on. This is the coach I want to play for. These are the guys I want to be around.''

Lamar is the most selfish player in the league. If Phil decides that he is the 6th man, I can only see Lamar busting his butt to be the best. This post puts this issue to rest but I am sure the rest of the media will hound him for something negative
