However, there are still a number of supporters who backed the two and expressed their excitement over the show.
“As a lifelong Lakers fan, let me just say Odom was the perfect player to have on your team and root for. Still rooting for him now. Hope he finds peace and happiness,” a supporter said.
A commenter wrote, “This will be interesting I’m not gonna lie!” A third fan had the same sentiments, saying: “This podcast might be a great one, ngl..”
It remains to be seen how the podcast will go, but sure enough, plenty of eyes will be on it.
