The late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant recently came into a "vivid" dream that one of his former teammates had. 

Lamar Odom, who won back-to-back NBA titles alongside Bryant during this time together with the Lakers, recently revealed to the "Doubl3 Coverage Podcast" that he was competing against Bryant in a three-point contest and actor Billy Crystal was hosting it. 

But as they were competing in the dream, Odom said Bryant stopped and looked at him.

"He just stopped and he looked back at me. He said, ‘Hello, the afterlife is not what people make it up to be.’ And then I woke up shortly after that," Odom said on the podcast. 

Though a dream, Odom got thinking after that, believing his old teammate was trying to send him a message. 

"Could be he [misses] everybody, that can mean a [multitude] of things. Maybe he’s still traveling, to wherever he has to go or have to get. I don’t know what it meant, but I just take it as live your best life now. Don’t sell yourself short," Odom explained.

Odom’s own life experiences also brought about the afterlife conversation with himself. 

Odom discussed it after nearly dying from a drug overdose in 2015, touching on it in a Netflix documentary, "The Death & Life of Lamar Odom." Doctors said he had 12 strokes and six heart attacks after being found unresponsive in a brothel near Las Vegas in October 2015. He
