Lamar Odom was a lethal weapon during the Los Angeles Lakers' heyday. He was a versatile, fluid forward who helped the team win back-to-back titles. However, Odom's life off the court was considerably more hectic than a busy day on Wall Street. Being married into the Kardashian family, his life was bound to be engulfed by drama.

A top shot athlete who was once renowned for his achievements on the court in his 14-year-long NBA career was soon reduced to an addict who lost grip on his life. His inconceivable downfall has now been documented in a film that gives the audience a peek into his psychological state at the time.

The documentary film on the darkest phase of Lamar Odom’s life will be coming to Netflix soon.

The Lamar Odom documentary titled Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom is a part of Netflix's Untold sports documentary series, focusing on several other sports entities. These compelling pieces, which will debut every week on Netflix beginning on March 31, go far beyond the playing field and offer unvarnished first-person accounts from those involved, exposing startling facts that were not in the public knowledge until now.  

But this documentary is more than some typical sports retrospective. It is an honest and brutal truth about the man who survived severe health issues like heart attacks and strokes, and was always under constant scrutiny by the media. The documentary aims to portray a man who has seen it all - the glorious view at the height of his success to the darkest alleys of addiction and the destruction it brings with it.

Now that Netflix has such an emotionally appealing story to tell, the curiosity is all about how they are going to approach it.

The documentary will mainly focus on the time the former basketball player Lamar Odom was discovered unconscious at the Love Ranch brothel outside of Las Vegas in 2015. After an NBA career that included two titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, no one would have expected to find Odom in a place like that. Going through a tough time, as there were rumors circulating about his alleged divorce from his then-wife Khloé Kardashian, the incident only added to his misery.

To give a more detailed account of their messy marriage, the documentary calls in Khloé Kardashian to give an unfiltered account of what went wrong in their relationship. She discusses the draining strain of covering for her partner. Her revelation provides more depth into the proceedings of the incident and how things became so out of control.

And just like many other documentaries on Netflix that involve sports personalities, the story here gets more perspective and a human touch through firsthand accounts from those involved.

The documentary, which will debut on March 31, includes candid conversations with Odom, Khloé Kardashian, his ex-wife, the former Love Ranch manager, and other people. The Death & Life of Lamar Odom goes beyond the public narrative to reveal the personal challenges, unspoken pressures, and crucial choices he made throughout his life that culminated in that moment through never-before-seen insights and firsthand testimonials.
