Do as I say, not as I do. Lamar Odom seems to be doing well & he’s even advising kids to NOT do drugs. While some may not like that he’s giving advice, Lamar knows what he’s talking about & if he can be a positive influence on children — I’m all about it.
Hopefully we will see LO on the court this season. Check out what happened after the jump…

Via TMZ:
Lamar Odom’s advice to a 7-year-old boy Saturday night … he warned him about the dangers of drug abuse.
Odom was at a birthday party at Tokyo Delves in North Hollywood — along with about 20 people — when the young boy named Elijah approached Odom to ask for a photo.
Elijah’s mother tells us, Odom initially turned the kid down, offering to shake Elijah’s hand instead and have a brief conversation … which they did.
The mom says Lamar pontificated about the merits of education and staying in school — and even encouraged Elijah (who is tall for his age) to play basketball — but the ironic twist, Lamar finished the conversation by telling him, “Don’t do drugs.”
He then offered to take the above photo, despite previously refusing.
And this is cool — sources in the restaurant say Lamar covered the tab for the birthday party (totaling more than $1,000) and left a $200 tip.
