Stars show support for Lamar Odom
Former NBA and reality TV star Lamar Odom is in the hospital after being found unconscious at a Nevada brothel, and plenty of celebrities are showing their support on social media.
Actors and athletes alike extended their love to Odom, including Miles Teller, Ariel Winter and Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kris Humphries.
Most stars simply tweeted that they were praying for Odom and his family, but others went a step farther, chastising the media and fans for trashing Odom before his hospitalization.
Football player Darnell Dockett wrote on Twitter: "One day ya'll are calling #LamarOdom a 'crackhead', the next you're 'praying for him'. Learn to care when something isn't trending."
His former teammate LeBron James took to Instagram to send his prayers:

"Breaking Bad" actor R.J. Mitte sent good vibes to Odom's ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, who is reportedly by his side at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas.

Anyone who is finding any type of humor in regards to #LamarOdom right now is a very disturbed, ignorant, disrespectful & immature jackhole!
