Overview
- Odom recounted on the Double Coverag3 podcast that Bryant appeared to him in a dream and said, "Hello, the afterlife is not what people make it up to be."
- He said the dream took place during a three-point shooting scenario and that he woke up soon after hearing the line.
- Patrick Beverley criticized the claim on X on March 13, writing, "Naw no way Sir u was high. Let the Rest In Peace please."
- Coverage notes the timing alongside Netflix’s Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, which revisits his career, addiction, and 2015 overdose and is scheduled to stream March 31.
- Reports emphasize this is Odom’s personal account from the podcast and that it has not been independently corroborated; Kobe Bryant died in a 2020 helicopter crash.
