Not only is James Harden sympathetic toward girlfriend Khloe Kardashian's feelings of responsibility for estranged husband Lamar Odom, he now may be a part of Odom's recovery.

Kardashian has concocted the idea of getting Odom back around the game of basketball by flying her husband out to Houston to watch her boyfriend play on Christmas, a source tells HollywoodLife.com.

Five Reasons Why Khloe Kardashian Is Leading On Lamar Odom

Merry Christmas, Lamar.

"Khloe has brought up the idea to watch James play on Christmas and bring Lamar with her if he is healthy enough to travel to Texas," a source told HollywoodLife.com. "She wants Lamar to be around the game and have some fun; he needs it. But in the chance that he is not able to take that much of travel, she would love to go to the Los Angeles Lakers game, and then hang out with James during New Year's Eve after his game that night because he has the following day off."

News That James Harden, Khloe Kardashian Are Still Together Could Kill Lamar Odom

If true, it's as if Kardashian has completely forgotten about Odom confronting her outside her spin class facility in Los Angeles over the summer before she flew off to see Harden in Houston or his interview with InTouch magazine, calling Kardashian his "soul mate, The New York Daily News reported."

Kardashian called off her divorce from Odom after he suffered multiple strokes as a result of his time spent at a Nevada brothel. Speculation rose quickly that Kardashian was getting back together with Odom, a rumor she later shot down.

Why she called off the divorce remains a mystery. If she did to help his recovery, she may have been gambling on trying to get him to fight to stay alive and once he was strong enough, she would then tell him the truth that she is not getting back together with him.

But traveling to Houston with his wife to watch her boyfriend play basketball can't possibly be Odom's idea of getting "around the game."
