Lamar Odom Gets A Rolls-Royce To Celebrate Lakers Win

Filed under: Sports

How do you celebrate a championship? If you are Lamar Odom you get a new Rolls-Royce, courtesy of the wife. E News reports that Kris Jenner revealed that her daughter Khloe Kardashian bought her husband a new white-on-white 2010 Rolls Royce drop-top coupe. Odom, Kardashian, his kids and the rest of the Jenner-Kardashian brood hit the town at Boa on Sunset the other night with Odom rolling up in the new ride. The pair were on hand for the Lakers parade in Los Angeles and are now planning a getaway to Mexico to relax.

The Los Angeles Lakers were feted with a parade that cost an estimated $2 million. Thousands of fans lined the two-mile long parade route through downtown Los Angeles as the Lakers went by on a float. The celebration was a more downsized version of last year's affair which gathered fans inside the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Lamar Odom In Manhattan Beach, Estate of the Day

Recently Khloe Kardashian and her new husband Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Lamar Odom picked up a seven-bedroom home in Tarzana, California which was listed for $3.995 million. Odom is still trying to sell his former home in the sports-star-friendly town of Mahattan Beach. The home is showcased on the the Sports Star Relocation website. The website was designed specifically for professional athletes and has a National Listing System that helps athletes find a new home in their new city (perfect for those sudden, surprise trades). The site includes a database where athletes and their families can search for properties that suit their specific needs including ones that are located near other local athletes/teammates, the airport or practice facility. Ed Kaminsky, founder of SportStar Relocation, found that the vast majority of his athlete-clients desire a home within a geographical triangle that includes their practice facility, stadium/arena, and the airport.

Odom seems to have stepped out of the triangle with his new Tarzana home but his Manhattan Beach home is squarely in it which might appeal to any athletes in the Los Angeles area looking for a home base. The five-bedroom home was built in 2002 by Gravatt Homes. It has been recently redone and includes a formal living room, formal dining room, large family room w/custom wet bar, three fireplaces and a three-car garage. Outside there is a pool, spa, as well as a barbecue area and a gas fire bit. This home is listed at $2.399 million.
