The late Los Angeles Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant, recently had a “lucid” dream that one of his former teammates had.
Lamar Odom, who won back-to-back NBA championships with Bryant during this time with the Lakers, recently revealed on the “Doubl3 Coverage Podcast” that he was competing with Bryant in a three-point contest with actor Billy Crystal officiating.
But when they were competing in the dream, Odom said Bryant stopped and looked at him.

“He just stopped and looked at me, and he said, ‘Hey, the afterlife is not something people do. And I woke up right after that,'” Odom said on the podcast.
Although it was a dream, Odom thought afterward, believing that his teammate tried to send him a message.
“It could be him [misses] everyone, that would mean a [multitude] of things. Maybe he is still walking, going wherever he has to go or has to arrive. I don’t know what it meant, but I just take it as living your best life now. Don’t sell yourself short,” Odom explained.

His life experiences of Odom also brought about a conversation with him after death.
Odom spoke about it after he nearly died of a drug overdose in 2015, touching on the Netflix documentary, “The Death & Life of Lamar Odom.” Doctors say he suffered 12 strokes and six heart attacks after he was found unresponsive in a brothel near Las Vegas in October 2015. He was placed in a medically induced coma, and will wake up later.
In the film, he said that the afterlife was not what he expected, then he heard Bryant now in his dream.

“I died and couldn’t tell you where we’re going, you know what I mean?” he said on the podcast. “I think there’s a lot in life that we all live for, whether it’s your friends or your family, money, or whatever you’re in love with. He loves now because we’ve seen his danger, no one is promised tomorrow. I think that’s the biggest lesson I learned in his life.”
Bryant and eight others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, on Jan. 26, 2020.
Odom and Bryant played together for the Lakers from 2004 to 2011, winning two NBA titles and the former winning Sixth Man of the Year in the 2010-11 season.
