		<description><![CDATA[He changed his mind about taking a year off after talking to his friends and family and seeing their reactions AKA everyone of his leaches on his payroll didn&#039;t want to lose a year of an NBA paycheck, &quot;whose gonna pay my cell phone, who&#039;s gonna pay my rent, who&#039;s gonna pay for my expensive habits??&quot;

Funny how L.O. said he&#039;s gonna do this for his family now when that&#039;s exactly what he&#039;s been doing since his rookie contract. Shake them leaches and haters off Lamar! You don&#039;t need that in your life baby, do you. And how about this for an idea, lose the damn reality show. Then you&#039;ll really see if your wife has your back as you watch her true colors come out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it was a mistake for odom to admit that he considered taking a year off.  Now it is just one more thing people could criticize him for besides his poor play thus far.  If you considered taking a year off but decided against it just keep it yourself.  Now people start second guessing his commitment to the game.

		<description><![CDATA[I think what he was saying slinger, is that it has begun to wear on him, to a strong degree Tom is right. There is and has been too much going on for this man to focus on the game in a way Odom wants it to be. I personally think this makes Chloe look like the selfish b*tch, we have all begun to associate with the Kardashians. I do not see support, I see someone more worried about his career.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lamar had much worse &amp; tragic family problems a few years ago and handled the adversity at that time.    It appears now that his life has become a 7/24 open book and that must be taking a toll.  A year off may be best if his play is going to be compromised.... unless he wants to end the circus and concentrate on his integration into his new team.]]></description>
