Pelicans' Gentry: When Clips fired me, Odom called to apologize

It's rare in any walk of life that you'll find someone who is universally liked, but Odom is in NBA circles. Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry told a story of just how uncommon Odom is during a conversation with Sean Deveney of Sporting News.
