About Lamar
More Than a
More Than a
Former Player.
Lamar Odom is a two-time NBA Champion, 2011 NBA Sixth Man of the Year, and one of the most recognizable athletes of his generation. In 2010 he made history as the first player ever to win an NBA Championship and a FIBA World Championship in the same calendar year — a feat no one had achieved before. His story crosses sports, entertainment, recovery, culture — and now media.
The next chapter is about using that lived experience with intention: hosting meaningful conversations, mentoring families and young athletes, and building a platform that treats attention as responsibility.
For brands, event organizers, coaches, and parents, Lamar represents a rare combination: championship credibility, cultural reach, and a message grounded in resilience, ownership, and guidance.

Mission · The Next Generation
The NIL Era Needs
The NIL Era Needs
Trusted Voices.
Name, Image, and Likeness changed the game — athletes can finally own their value. But most are navigating it without anyone who has been there. Lamar's role is mentorship first: education, perspective, and knowing the worth of having the right people in your corner.
Mentorship
Champion-level perspective without hype or false promises.
Education
Plain-language conversations about value, protection, and long-term thinking.
Community
Supporting young athletes through families, coaches, programs, and trusted adults.
For the Next Generation
Own Your Name.
Own Your Name.
Own Your Future.
A new era lets athletes control their name, their value, and their opportunities — and the ones who win have the right people in their corner. If that's the lane you're building in, let's start the conversation.
No pressure. No commitment. Just a conversation.
“
The win isn't just the ring. It's what you build after it — and who you bring with you.
