Former Los Angeles Lakers champion Lamar Odom recently had a bit of a run-in with a random fan that hilariously mistook him for Hall of Fame big man Kevin Garnett. It seems like Odom did not appreciate the gesture and he ended up shoving the fan towards the end of the now-viral clip.
Here's a look at the incident in question (h/t Gerald Huston on TikTok):
@iamgeraldhuston Omg I met Kevin Garnett!!! #nba #espn #ballislife #lamarodom #kevingarnett #lakers #celtics
For what it's worth, Huston is actually a comedian and he was trying to play a prank on the ex-Lakers star. It seems like Odom did not know who Huston was and he clearly wasn't too pleased with how the “fan” invaded his private space.

Towards the end of the video, Huston tried to show off his moves to Odom and this was when the former Lakers forward shoved him. It's hard to make out from Odom's reaction whether he was actually pissed or just having a laugh about all this. Either way, it was definitely a very awkward situation.
During his time with the Lakers, Odom faced off against Garnett and the Boston Celtics on more than a few occasions. It was a huge rivalry, which is probably the reason behind his displeasure in being mistaken for one of his fiercest competitors.
