Odom shared the experience during an interview posted online, explaining how he once dreamed about speaking with Bryant after the NBA icon’s passing.
“He looked back at me and said, ‘Hello, the afterlife is not what people make it up to be.’ And then I woke up shortly after that, and it just made me think, like ‘What is he trying to say?’ It could be that he misses everybody,” Odom said.
He added: “It could mean a multitude of things. Maybe he’s still travelling? I don’t know what he meant, but I just took it as ‘live your best life now.'”
The story quickly spread across social media as fans reacted to Odom’s emotional recollection involving his former Lakers teammate.
Odom and Bryant spent several seasons together in Los Angeles and won two NBA championships with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010.
