Mark Cuban says he thinks Lamar Odom couldn't help but be distracted while filming his reality show 'Khloe & Lamar'.
Asked by ESPN's Jeff Caplan whether the cameras in the arena and during the game hurt the team, Cuban said it didn't affect the Mavericks, but he wasn't so sure about Odom.
"To our guys? No," Cuban said. "To him? Possibly. I do think that if you know you're on camera all the time, you know you're on camera all the time."
"It means you pay attention to how you're going to look on camera."
The Dallas Mavericks announced they were parting ways with Odom, who is married to Khloe Kardashian, earlier this week.
Instead of releasing him, the team listed Odom inactive for the remainder of the season.
Odom had a trying season with the team after being assigned to the Texas Legends of the NBA D-League, then not playing in a 104–87 loss to the San Antonio Spurs due to a coach's decision.
