Why does ESPN keep using Lamar Odom's dead son as an excuse for playing like crap?

[Goran Dragic]

He's won 2 championships since his son died and was a major part of both of those teams. Why does ESPN think that's a legitimate excuse for how he's played this year?

If Dr. Dre's dead son is the reason Detox hasn't come out yet (:depressed), the same can be said for Odom.

If he had that shirt when :cry he buried a baby :cry, he'd probably wear it to the funeral too.

I'm surprised he didn't have his fat wife in tow....then again, that's 2 extra tickets he has to pay for. :/

Nick Van Exel would beg to differ - the MVP of the Mavs 2003 run to the Conference Finals.
