Lamar Odom continues to hang on for dear life showing small improvements ever since being found unconscious at the Love Ranch in Krystal Lake, Nevada.

His chances of survival remain at 50/50 and the former NBA cager is likely to find it hard living a normal life again. Some have gone on to compare his plight with that of Bobbi Kristina Brown though Odom is not losing oxygen to the brain like what the daughter of the late Whitney Houston had.

Small as it may, doctors have cautioned that the longer they wait without any signs of improvement results into bleaker chances of recovery.

Khloe Kardashian has been by his estranged husband’s bedside, seeing to Lamar’s needs and with plans to fly in several specialists from Los Angeles.

Another person who is reportedly severely affected by Odom’s state is Los Angeles Lakers star player Kobe Bryant.

Lakers head coach Byron Scott reveals that Kobe is pretty close with Odom and the former is taking it all pretty hard.

"It's hard on him. He was very close to Lamar. Loves him like a brother. It's just a rough time for Kobe dealing with that. This is probably the first time that he's had a teammate that's going through something like this" says Scott via ESPN.

Kobe had been tagged as a fraud by Master P, stressing that Bryant did nothing when Odom was struggling to get back in the NBA.

Master P believes that had Kobe exercised his special powers over at the Lakers corner, Odom may have not ended up where he is right now.

Kobe made an indirect response to those allegations on Twitter, a general tweet that was obviously directed at Master P.
