Its not that simple. In fairness, Lamar lived a complicated life. Father was a heroin addict, and her mother died when he was twelve. In 2006, his infant son died from SIDS. The offseason after getting the 6th man of the year award, a close cousin died and when the SUV he was riding was involved in an accident killed a teenage cyclist, thats where he considered taking a break from basketball.
He came to Laker camp terribly out of shape. Got traded twice by Lakers, and it was downhill from there. He also came to Clipper camp fat....but Ive read reports that he is losing the excess baggage gradually.
