Excerpt:
> In an excerpt of his book, Darkness to Light: A Memoir, released to D Magizine, Odom described one altercation that involved Cuban kicking him in the shin during a game:
> "During one homestand, I was having possibly the worst game of the season. Head coach Rick Carlisle subbed me out, and I looked for a seat near the coaches, but none were available. So I went down to the only open seat at the end of the bench. Right next to Cuban.
> "Cuban extended his right foot and kicked my shin. ... I was stunned. This wasn't a tap. I felt it. That was the last straw. It was painfully clear he did not respect me as a man. I felt the adrenaline rush through my body. In an instant I was transported back to Linden Boulevard, where the slightest act of disrespect could be fatal. As I sprang up, Vince Carter, who was sitting next to me, grabbed my arm tightly and leaned in.
> "... What if Vince, who I had the closest connection to on that team, hadn't been sitting there? What if he had been paying attention to the game and hadn't seen the incident? I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that Vince Carter saved me from catching a charge and ending my career in disgrace."
That time was hard for all parties, Iβm sure. Just never heard the kicking of the shin allegation, and obviously, this is just odomβs side of the story.
I went to a Mavs-Lakers game during odomβs ordeal, and twice, he had wide open layups to the basket and he drove in the lane and then inexplicably passed out to nobody in particular. Not sure if the alleged incident happened during that game or not, but I think shortly thereafter, he was gone.
