Lamar Odum, “I Had A Championship Before I Was Married”

Classic moment at the 1:51 mark, list for yourself!

His wife, Khloe Kardashian, was in attendance, leading one reporter to joke the Kardashian family has been good luck since Khloe’s sister, Kim, was dating Reggie Bush at the time Bush’s team, the New Orleans Saints, won the Super Bowl earlier this year. But Odom joked, “I had one [championship] before.” Lamar handled that really well! *side eye* CONGRATS!!!
