There are conflicting reports about former NBA star Lamar Odom, who is listed in critical condition at a Nevada hospital after overdosing on crack cocaine on Tuesday.

According to Gossip tabloid TMZ, Odom’s internal organs were shutting down and he was in kidney failure.

Then yesterday, Radar Online quoted a hospital source who said Odom was brain dead with “no brain activity.”

Now Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Odom opened his eyes this morning, and somehow communicated a request to see his kids.

A “hospital source” tells Entertainment Tonight that Odom opened his eyes and said “yes” when asked if he wanted to see his children.

That would be difficult to do if he was brain dead.

And even if he isn’t brain dead, he has a ventilator tube down his throat which would make speaking impossible.

All media reports about Odom’s neurological condition should be taken with a grain of salt. Especially since his estranged wife, Khloe KarTRASHian, is controlling the flow of information out of the hospital.

Odom’s children, Destiny and Lamar Jr., arrived in Las Vegas on Thursday with their mother and grandmother (pictured above).
