NBA players everywhere are reacting to news that former NBA star Lamar Odom is "fighting for his life" after being hospitalized. Odom was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel on Tuesday afternoon and remains in a coma, according to multiple reports.
Former Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant reportedly left Tuesday night's Lakers preseason game early to visit Odom, who's currently being cared for at a Las Vegas hospital. While Bryant headed out to check on Odom, other NBA stars tweeted well-wishes for Odom and his family:
