Lamar Odom responded Friday through an attorney to Stephen A. Smith’s loud comments about his past drug habits.

Odom debunked Smith’s assessment of the situation and asked for some form of response from ESPN. Smith has not apologized. It is not the first time he has come after athletes, either, after a notable beef with Kevin Durant, among others.
