LOS ANGELES (CBS SPORTS) - Brace yourselves, fans of Lamar Odom's reality show "Khloe & Lamar." Because it's over. According to TMZ, Odom is pulling the plug on the reality show to try to put his focus back on basketball. TMZ reports that people with the E! Network are trying to convince the couple to reconsider the decision, but Odom and reality star wife Khloe Kardashian Odom and standing firm.

Odom was placed on the inactive list with the Dallas Mavericks after getting low numbers earlier this season. He is likely to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, as he will likely have his contract bought out. He is not over-the-hill at just 32 years old, but this season has certainly placed a blemish on his career. Still, another team may hope that the former Sixth Man of the Year can quickly make a big comeback.

Odom is now back to living in Los Angeles, and has reportedly hired trainers to help him get his game back on track. Cutting the outside distraction of a reality television show, and his network responsibilities, could help get his focus back on the court where it belongs. It also eliminates some of the invasion of privacy that Odom has struggled with in the NBA.

Khloe is still under contract to appear on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
