"All my doctors that see me say I'm a walking miracle," Odom told comedian Kevin Hart on his show Cold As Balls.

The 38-year-old had been found unconscious at a Nevada brothel in October 2015, per TMZ Sports, and was having problems with his heart, kidneys and lungs.

Tests later showed he had cocaine and opiates in his system at the time of the incident.

He has since rehabilitated and claims to be sober after what was clearly a near-death experience.

Odom spent 14 years in the NBA before retiring after the 2012-13 season.
