Lakers forward Lamar Odom defended his marriage to television star Khloe Kardashian prior to Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
Critics claim that Odom married Kardashian to promote his new clothing line and to be on a hit television show.
"They can say what they want but I don't pay too much attention to it and neither does she," Odom said. "I guess to a lot of people it's interesting or entertaining but I don't pay too much attention to it. When I married her I knew what I was signing up for.
"I'm a good dude. I've made a good living playing basketball. I don't have to date someone or marry someone to make a better living. I do pretty well for myself. It's too bad that people say stuff like that. I don't think she's hurt by it. I still love my wife."
