You would have thought that Lamar Odom was still playing for the Los Angeles Lakers Monday night.The Dallas Mavericks star received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd at the Staples Center, as he was coming into the game midway through the first quarter.Even though his team lost by three points, 70-73, to the Lakers, Odom should feel very lucky he still has a STRONG FAN BASE in Los Angeles.Normally when a player gets traded to another team, the fan base of the old team usually TURN THEIR BACKS on the player who got traded.They even displayed a "THANKS for the memories Lamar" on the scoreboard, along with a tribute video of the 13-year veteran.
