[Ovid]

Lamar Odom is fighting for his life after falling into unconsciousness at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources at the Love Ranch tell us ... 35-year-old Odom arrived at the Ranch on Saturday and was partying with the girls for days. A source at the Ranch said Lamar was taking an herbal substitute for Viagra.

We spoke with Hof ... who tells us on Tuesday afternoon, a woman went into Odom's room in the VIP suites and found him unconscious. The woman rolled the former NBA star over and saw fluid streaming out of his mouth.

An ambulance took Lamar to Pahrump hospital, where doctors intubated him ... an indication he could not breathe on his own.

We're told Lamar is being airlifted from the hospital to Las Vegas for more treatment.

Our sources tell us, "It doesn't look good."

Story developing ...

UPDATE

We're told Lamar had been partying at the ranch by himself -- with no friends or entourage -- and is now alone at the hospital.

The ranch staff says they want to be in the room with Lamar but since they're not family they're not allowed.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Wow hope he pulls through okay. Sounds serious

 

[Sanjuro]

Lamar has been a walking disaster for a while now. Hopefully this doesn't end as bad as that description sounds.

 

[Boke1879]

NO! I really hoped he could help turn his life around. Ugh Prayers to him. I hope he pulls through and this is a wake up call for him.

 

[Tenebrous]

Ouch. Drugs?

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Holy shit..good luck to him.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Jesus Christ, Lamar.

Sigh

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Damn he's only 35? He could still be ballin' if he wasn't affected by these issues. I hope he makes it because 35 is way too young.

 

[thekad]

Holy shit

 

[entremet]

Ouch. Drugs?

Yes. He's been a mess for a while. Hope he can pull through and this be his wake up call.

 

[Sanjuro]

Damn he's only 35? He could still be ballin' if he wasn't affected by these issues. I hope he makes it because 35 is way too young.

He had demons early on. He should have been ballin better than some of the best for most of his career.

 

[CountAntonius]

Damn shame how his life spiraled out of control. You saw it on that kardashian show. When he was cut from the lakers he was an absolute mess. The guy has been through a lot I hope he pulls through.

 

[CB3]

Its something you could see coming for a while when the drug stories started popping up.

Its a real bummer. He seemed like a great dude that had a ton of demons for various reasons. Watching him when he was on his game with the Lakers was amazing.

Im really hoping he can pull through this.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Still remember him making some clutch shots for URI back in the day

Damn I hope he gets himself straightened out

 

[Shamrock7r]

There was a recent video of him breaking down at a paparazzi. Hope he pulls through

 

[Master Thespian]

I hope pulls through because he's a human being and all...

...and because this would be a really embarrassing way to go.

 

[Slayer-33]

Good lord... Man..

 

[Hip Hop]

Damn man,

hope he pulls through.

It's been fucking bad just watching him these few months. He needed help, this was sadly what was coming.

 

[Premium Quality]

That's pretty messed up. Hope he pulls through.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Hoping he makes it and turns his life around.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Damn Lamar's life went south pretty fast.

 

[entremet]

I hope pulls through because he's a human being and all...

...and because this would be a really embarrassing way to go.

More tragic than embarrassing. 35 is hella young.

 

[Smellycat]

That is crazy

 

[To Far Away Times]

A source at the Ranch said Lamar was taking an herbal substitute for Viagra.

So that's what happens after four hours...


In all seriousness, hope he gets better. I remember his glory days on the Lakers. Dude was awesome. Hope he pulls through.

 

[UrokeJoe]

Not liking this. Pretty sad.

[OpinionatedCyborg]

I knew the dude had issues, but it seemed like he had it together for awhile in the NBA besides his crazy candy obsession. Hope he pulls through without any brain damage for his and his kids' sake.

I had a feeling that candy obsession was a mask for other addictions, too bad I was right.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Damn. Hope he pulls it together eventually.

 

[mgs2master2]

good luck to him. hope he pulls through

 

[Brakke]

Man I hope Odom gets right. Boy breaking my heart all the time now.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Hope he pulls through, one of my favorite sixth man players ever ):

 

[spindashing]

Wishing him the best. Not a good look.

 

[FriedConsole]

I wonder if he would have been like this if he never Kardashianed.

 

[Archer]

I wonder if he would have been like this if he never Kardashianed.

You and I both know that answer.

 

[enzo_gt]

That is not a very promising story, wow.

 

[CountAntonius]

I wonder if he would have been like this if he never Kardashianed.

He had problems before that. He had his infant son die way back in 2006. Guy has had it rough.

 

[HabeeNo]

Damn if true

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

This is what working for Marc Cuban does to people.

If only NBA GAF were alive to see this.

 

[Bread]

How awful. He was such a unique player and seemingly fun guy before he was betrayed by basketball reasons.

Hope he gets better.

 

[Hydrus]

This is what working for Marc Cuban does to people.

If only NBA GAF were alive to see this.

What happened to NBA GAF?

 

[franknbeans]

Didn't he also have a friend that died of a drug overdose

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

That update is depressing

 

[Talon]

What the fuck?

 

[friskykillface]

damn, be safe Odom

 

[bionic77]

As a Lakers fan I always loved Odom.

True team first guy.

Hope he makes it and can turn his life around.

 

[Dram]

Didn't he also have a friend that died of a drug overdose

[ShaneDude]

What happened to NBA GAF?

It got nuked. Because it was full of assholes.

 

[WesternHeretic]

What happened to NBA GAF?

People step out of line so the whole thing was blown up.

 

[SyenceLabb]

What happened to NBA GAF?

It basically got cleansed, to put it nicely.

 

[Fotheringay]

This feels sadly inevitable with how ugly his situation's been the past year or so. Dude had a hard life, hope he pulls through.
