Former LA Lakers star Lamar Odom gifted basketballer and blogger Kennedy Nkwain with some cool sneakers. As reported on TMZ and on Essentially Sports, Lamar Odom contacted Nkwain through social media to ask for information that he needed.
Odom asked for his shoe size and address and put together a care package for Nkwain. The package reportedly included two Wilsons basketballs, Nike socks, Reebok Allen Iverson shoes and Nike Giannis Antetokounmpo shoes.
Who is Kennedy Nkwain and why did Lamar Odom gift send him a gift?
Kennedy Nkwain is a 21-year old from Cameroon who has been an inspiration to many with his regular posts on how he overcomes obstacles. Living in Bamenda, Cameroon, he shows the world how his frequent exercising routine and basketball practices while pushing himself to get better with minimal resources and equipment available.
All his exercising equipment are from things he finds around him like large rocks, random pieces of metals, old timber, garbage cans and more. However, that did not stop him. He has caught the attention of millions through his TikTok videos and hopes to play basketball professionally someday.
For these reasons, Lamar Odom sent Nkwain the gift as Odom saw himself in the young man and remembered his earlier days when he struggled with his basketball career but kept working hard and eventually won two NBA titles.
