LOS ANGELES -- Lakers forward Lamar Odom has won the Sixth Man of the Year Award, multiple sources confirmed to ESPNLosAngeles.com. There is a 3 p.m. PT press conference scheduled for the presentation on Tuesday afternoon.
Odom averaged 14.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and three assists per game while shooting 53 percent from the field, the highest shooting mark of his 12-year career.
The only requirement to win the award is for a player to come in as a reserve more games than he starts. Odom started 35 games and entered off the bench in 47.
When a player is in the playoffs and is in line to win one of the NBA's annual awards, the league will often schedule the press conference prior to what could potentially be the team's last home game so that there can be an additional presentation of the award in front on the player's home town fans.
The Lakers trail their best-of-seven first round series against the Hornets 1-0 and the series shifts to New Orleans for Games 3 and 4, meaning that Wednesday's home game would be the last in the case of an unlikely sweep by the Hornets.
Earlier in the season Odom said if he ended up winning the award he would place the trophy on the scorer's table at center court for the duration of the game as a symbol of his appreciation for the fans.
Khloe Kardashian, Odom's wife and reality TV co-star, tweeted, "Today is going to be an amazing day!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!" on Tuesday.
Odom is the first player in Lakers history to win the award since it started being presented in 1983. He finished sixth in the voting in 2010.
Odom's main compe ion for the award, which was voted on by a panel of 120 media members, included Dallas' Jason Terry, Boston's Glen Davis, Oklahoma City's James Harden and Philadelphia's Thaddeus Young.
I expect a nice performance tomorrow .......
Props most consistent year he has had in Laker uniform, and most significant impact year since he was with the Heat.
Too bad he he preceded this award with the the turd he laid in Game one, I expect a better game in game 2.
Congrats, Lamar, well deserved.
It's worth as much as I could get at one of these gold exchanges that are all over the place.
You live in the 'hood, Cully? LOL
Actually those places have sprung up in the 'burbs as well ...
He deserved it.
Forget it, Killa. You sided Herself against me, Luva & Kool. That was wrong.
you.
Huh? When did that happen and what are you talking about?
Me and Luva are cool...(as far as I know) We were discussing shaq vs. Kobe last night in here.
I haven't talked to Kool in a minute ... but no beef here, what did I do to offend?
After she cast us down for being upstairs prior to their Game 1 disaster, and reddening our asses for not living in Los Angeles, you came along immediately thereafter and supported her.Huh? When did that happen and what are you talking about?
Me and Luva are cool...as far as I know was discussing shaq vs. Kobe last night in here.
I haven't talked to Kool in a minute ... but no beef here, what did I do to offend?
Or, am I wrong? If I'm wrong just say so, and I'll apologize for doubting you. It'll be my mistake and I'll take it and like it.
Huh? I remember seeing a post about most Laker fans not living in L.A and I posted a reply. but I dont think I was in there when you were cast out like a JezebelI didnt even know that happened ...TBH.
Do you have a link or the thread le?
But I think you are confused ...
Shame LO was the Invisible Man on Sunday.
Haven't seen the TV show yet. Is it as terrible and cringe worthy as advertised?
No. I ain't confused.Huh? I remember seeing a post about most Laker fans not living in L.A and I posted a reply. but I dont think I was in there when you were cast out like a Jezebel
Do you have a link or the thread le?
But I think you are confused ...
you.
look at mr. humphries
kardashian naturally excrete ped. kardashian magic
LOL are you serious what are you talking about? Do you have the post in question?
I mean if you want to say " you" you have earned that right ...but doesnt a man have a right to know the charges that have been levied against him? I watch Law and Order ...I have rights damnit!!!
Yeah, I'm serious. This is the second time in a month that you've pulled a stunt like this, Killa. The first time I let it go. But, this last one. That was wrong of her to post it. For you to then come along and support it was incredible.
It's here somewhere. I have no idea how to locate it.
Well then find it. I do not recall (Ollie North LOL) what the you are talking about? this Laker loss ...must be in witcha because I picture you as a man with a steel trap of a brain.
In fact, DPG was trying to get me to call out Luva and Kool last week and I would not do so, even if I did not agree with some of their posts. For me, I stand on my own two feet. But if I did offend I apologize, (though i still want proof) and if you wont take my apology, as man I say you too!

Doesn't living in L.A. teach you guys anything how to play it cool? ... oh my bad, lakaluva, Kool and Giuseppe don't live in L.A.
Cue the comments...
*Coasting*
*Playing down to the opponent*
*It's only April 17th*
(For the record, I think the Lakers will win the series relatively easily.)
agree with most of this shame to see the panic and false bravado in my Lakers brethren.
I accept your apology, Killa.
I dont shy away from what I said but how is that siding?Killakobe81

You admit freely you were concerned, I was telling you not to worry on sunday. YOu did seem a bit panicky ...
And for Laker fans to act like Paul did not just anally rape us is = false bravado.
And yes I was disappointed to smell fear in my Laker brothers. We lost and the Spurs loss. no one is more or less damning then the other. We both have to fix and i think we fix them. I am of course more confident that we will win then the Spurs ...
again, where did I "side" against you?
So, I am confused? You don't agree with anything she cites in her post? You're just admonishing "me" for panicking in the backwash of Game 1?
No, I wasnt calling you out. I wasnt even just speaking of the NBA forum, LG my family back home that are Laker fans plenty were in panic mode.
Just saying when we lose we should not panic. We need to act like fans of a team that has won 16 les and 3 peated before. The third leg is the toughest.
MJ never won 4 straight
Magic failed to 3 peat
Duncan cant even repeat (no offense)
I expected this series to be easier, but not the run. This will be the toughest one of PJ's and kobe's career and if they get it and we get to celebrate it, we better cherish this . Because we may NEVER 3 peat again.
BTW, We still the champs until we lose 4 so I will still celebrate LAST year's le.
The truth hurts, Cully. Especially when it comes from someone you respect, but that's when you need to hear it the most. You don't have to be Luva and Kool's lackey. You are better than that. Listen to Killa, he can guide off of the dark path.
Whatever I felt after Game 1, be it panic, according to you, or, opinion, I still hold to it. I said it then, I stand by it now:::if we lose tomorrow night, it's over. It's not a judgement, or, a condemnation of the Lakers. It's an observation.
& if it's over, I'll move. Instead of siding the Lakers shoulder-to-shoulder, I'll move in front of them in a shield.
***Obviously I misread your intentions on your comment to Her post.
I apologize, Killa. I am sorry.
- "You want me to testify against Jimmy Hoffa. lololololololololol!!!"
- Danny DeVito - "Hoffa"
it's about Khloe and Lamer. what the you think?
