'Khloe is the one person who can reach Lamar. coach who was father to Odom says Kardashians became his family and split led to 'craziness'

Lamar Odom's former coach who treated him 'like a son' says Khloe Kardashian is the only one who can save him.

Jim Harrick, 77, discovered Lamar's talent when he was just 14 and became the closest thing to a father figure in the basketball star's life after his mother, Cathy Mercer, died and he was abandoned by his drug addict biological father, Joe.

 

He says he is 'devastated' and 'praying for him' after Lamar, 35, was found unconscious in a legal Nevada brothel and rushed to hospital on Tuesday, where he is said to be suffering heart failure.

However, Jim takes comfort in the fact the sportsman's estranged wife Khloe has rushed to his side.
