Lamar in a car... Spanish style! 6ft 10ins Odom struggles out of compact Mini... and looks like he's missing his plus size American wheels

He has just made the move to Spain to play for European basketball team Laboral Kutxa.
But two days in, and Lamar Odom already looked like he is missing a few things about his Los Angeles home - namely his Mercedes SUV.
The basketball star was spotted squeezing his giant 6ft 10ins frame into a tiny Mini on Thursday, and he looked none too impressed at the cramped conditions in his new wheels.

The 34-year-old was driven around the North Spanish town of Vittoria to settle in to his new surroundings.
But judging by the expression as he emerged from the bright blue and white car, he found the ride a little painful.
Lamar is has a two month contract with Laboral Kutxa with an option to extend to the end of the season.

Are we really driving in that? Lamar appeared to find his new wheels rather amusing

He could make his début for the Spanish team as early as Saturday against Valladolid.
Laboral Kutxa is ninth in the 18 team Spanish league.
Lamar arrived in Spain on Wednesday still wearing his wedding ring, despite his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian filing for divorce two months ago.
The reality star, who has not been seen wearing her wedding ring for months now, filed for divorce after a string of claims Lamar had cheated on her multiple times and was doing drugs.

A fresh start: Lamar recently signed to the Spanish club after reports surfaced about his alleged drug addictions

In November, according to TMZ, Lamar admitted to getting drunk but not using crack cocaine. However he reportedly made the admission that he had used the drug before.
A free agent since the end of the 2012/2013 season, this new job in Spain is a big step down from his NBA days, although Lamar is clearly hoping it will mark a fresh start in his career.




On Thursday, the former LA Lakers player made a show of confidence in his own bill of health as he allowed photographers in to view his medical examination.

Reading his heart: The star got hooked up to electrodes on Wednesday to test his health and fitness levels

The former NBA star looked fit and healthy as he underwent a battery of physical tests on Thursday, including a series of cardiovascular examinations.

Stripping his shirt off, he was hooked up to a series of electrodes in a diagnostic test of his heart and vascular system.
He then had his blood pressure taken as well as a few other examinations of his general health including a jaunt on a treadmill as he was hooked up to a monitor.

Passed? Lamar has already bonded with his new teammates
