Lamar Odom is taking an unexpected next step, and he’s not doing it quietly.
The former Los Angeles Lakers forward, now 46, has become the first NBA player to join OnlyFans. Odom announced the move on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and made it clear he doesn’t want people rushing to assumptions. Speaking to TMZ, he said, "People hear OnlyFans and automatically think one thing, but I'm not here to tell you what you will or won't see."
For now, Odom is leaving plenty to the imagination. He told the outlet, "I've lived a pretty wild life, and trust me, there are still a few surprises left. I've always been an open book, but there are some chapters people haven't seen yet," while his OnlyFans bio promises a closer look at who he is away from the spotlight.
"You’ve seen me on the court. You’ve seen me on TV.
Now get to know the REAL me. A little more personal.
A little more playful. And a side of Lamar you haven’t seen before.
Come inside my world 🔥," Odom wrote.
TMZ reported that Odom does plan to post risque content, though "nothing too crazy for now."
Odom’s girlfriend, Los Angeles real estate professional Rachel Bradley, joined the platform as well. Her bio takes a teasing approach of its own.
"I like a little mystery, a little attention and someone who knows how to keep me interested. Think you can?
😉 Say hello. Get my attention.
Let’s see where the conversation takes us 💋," she wrote in her bio.
Neither Odom nor Bradley has said whether they’ll create content together, but Bradley did repost an Instagram Story on Tuesday that hinted at the possibility.
"Gotta keep this 🍑 tight 😉," she posted on Tuesday, Oct. 27.
"It’s official… I’m on @OnlyFans https://t.co/xwWb6Mkb1r

Lakers Have A Bigger Problem Than Luka Can Fix Alone
Luka Doncic delivered a 41-point night, but it still wasnt enough to carry the Lakers past Portland in a 136-129 loss that exposed how much more this team needs than one elite scorer. Los Angeles had plenty of offense and enough firepower to stay in the game, yet the bigger issue showed up on the other end, where Portland kept finding efficient looks and controlled the possession battle with its edge at the line.
The Trail Blazers didnt just ride hot shooting from deep, they also did damage inside, outscoring the Lakers from beyond the arc and in the paint. For a team built to compete now, that kind of defensive breakdown is the more troubling takeaway, because even a special performance from Doncic can only cover for so much if the Lakers keep giving away points in bunches.

Lakers Fans Will Notice Ziaire Williams Is Not Changing His Edge
Ziaire Williams picked up a $2,000 fine from the NBA for flopping in a game against the Utah Jazz, but the Lakers forward did not sound like someone ready to back off his style anytime soon. Williams said he disagreed with the leagues ruling, though he also made it clear he will pay the fine and keep playing with the same edge on defense.
Williams also said he plans to appeal in hopes of getting the money back, which leaves the episode feeling more like a brief detour than a change in approach. For the Lakers, the bigger takeaway is probably the one Williams himself emphasized: whatever the league thought of that call, his commitment to being disruptive on that end of the floor is not going anywhere.

Lakers Loss To Portland Turned On A Late Whistle Fans Will Debate
A late-season whistle can change the feel of a game in a hurry, and that was the case at Crypto.com Arena when officials handed out technical fouls for flopping in the fourth quarter. Ja Morant, Toumani Camara and Ziaire Williams were all hit with the same call in a tense finish, turning a close stretch into the kind of ending fans and players are likely to replay for a while.
Morant took issue with his own call afterward, saying he had simply raised his hands and absorbed contact, and he planned to try to get it overturned. Portland left with the win and moved to 3-0, while the Lakers dropped to 3-1, a result that will leave plenty of attention on the sequence rather than just the final score. [Read more 🡒]
