Khloe Kardashian bad-mouths Cuban, Mavericks about her stint in Dallas while Lamar Odom played there. 

Khloe Kardashian made another appearance on The Howard Stern Show this week and she discussed, at length, her relationship with former NBA star Lamar Odom. She stayed on the topic of Odom’s time in Dallas with Mark Cuban’s Mavericks the longest. She went into detail about what went wrong while she was living in Dallas with Odom.

Odom was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers toward to end of 2011 to the defending champion Dallas Mavericks for a first-round draft pick. Odom was acquired by Dallas to give the team more length and to add another shooter. Odom performed well for the team, but after a fallout with owner Mark Cuban in April of 2012, Odom’s time in Dallas ended abruptly.

“I didn’t realize that…of course I knew I was in an interracial marriage, but I didn’t realize it until I moved to Dallas,” she said on The Howard Stern Show. “‘I’m a n***** lover, a this, a that, we had words keyed in our cars. They would call Lamar ‘boy’ all the time.”

Cuban, the Mavericks’ owner, was contacted by TMZ to comment on her statement about her time in Dallas. Cuban did not confirm nor deny what happened to Khloe, but he did say he always reached out to her to see if she needed anything.

“Anytime I talked to her, I asked how things were going and did she need anything,” Cuban told TMZ in an interview. “Never a word. Not from Lamar or anyone. We would text about trying to help Lamar and not a word. I obviously don’t know what she encountered, but I can say that it’s not something she ever mentioned to me or anyone in our organization. We had a psychologist working with Lamar and putting together support programs for him. It never came up. I like Khloe. I’m not questioning her, but she never said anything to us.”

Perhaps Khloe’s comments stemmed from the fallout Cuban and Odom had in April of 2012, but that remains to be seen.
