Lamar Odom got right to the point about his alleged crack cocaine addiction when confronted by a persistent paparazzo.

When asked whether he has a drug problem, the NBA basketball player and former Khloe & Lamar star told TMZ, "Nah, man. No."
Odom suggested he was fine because it was clear he looked fine. He also said a blunt, "No," when questioned about whether he needs to seek professional help for a drug problem.
Odom especially implied the reporter's questions were absurd when asked if he's spoken with his wife Khloe Kardashian in recent days.
"Of course. That's my wife, man! Of course," he said with a laugh.

Odom had a very brief stint in rehab last week and hasn't been in communication with Kardashian since, according to Us Weekly. He's allegedly struggled with a hardcore two-year drug habit that has jeopardized his career in the NBA and strained his marriage.
Odom told TMZ he'll "hopefully" play some ball this year and play for "anybody that's a fan... I love them."
When asked whether he believes it's a positive thing he's a free agent, Odom replied, "Life is good, right? Life is good. You never know."
Odom had also been arrested for driving under the influence late last month. After reportedly being taken into custody, Odom was taken to a jail in Van Nuys, CA before he was released on $15,000 bail, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Recent reports claim Kardashian's been on the verge of filing for divorce, partially due to prior cheating allegations.
