The former Los Angeles Lakers player has teamed up with producer Jojo Ryder on the series, which will feature many of his National Basketball Association (NBA) teammates, including Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Trevor Ariza, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Odom’s ex, Liza Morales, mother of his three children, Destiny, Lamar Jr. and the late Jayden, will also be interviewed, and the show will revisit his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, previously chronicled on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and the spin-off Khloe and Lamar.

The docuseries will also reportedly deal with his struggle with addiction, culminating in him nearly losing his life from a drug overdose in a Nevada brothel in 2016.

Announcing the project, Odom says, “I decided to tell my own truth through my documentary. I think this will give my fans a glimpse into my life and they will understand who Lamar Odom is and hopefully I can inspire people.

“I may not have made the best decisions many times throughout my life, but surely I am a product of my environment that has made me. I think Jojo Ryder did a great job of showing my true story and delving into my childhood and my roots.”

The two-time NBA champion recently enjoyed and endured new ups and downs in his personal life, as he became engaged to personal trainer Sabrina Parr, before they split earlier this month.

However, the couple subsequently reunited and went on vacation together amid reports of a reconciliation.
