He’s been at the center of crack-smoking rumors for weeks, but Lamar Odom insists he’s not hooked on the rock.

While out and about in Studio City, the troubled NBA star told a paparazzo that he isn’t a drug addict and therefore isn’t in need of professional counseling. Also, he’s planning on playing basketball this season.

Unfortunately, Mr. Odom’s version of the facts differs greatly from reality, as his wife Khloe Kardashian and her family are all wise to Lamar’s problems.

Odom told press, “Life is good,” despite the fact that he can’t seem to stay on a single team for an entire season.
