Odom’s doctors appear to feel better about Odom’s condition, per Jackson. 

Jackson said that Odom’s ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian, was “by his side” while he remains on life support. 

Jackson also confirmed that ex-teammate Kobe Bryant did come to visit Odom on Tuesday night. 

“We get knocked down sometimes, we get back up again,” Jackson said. “The ground is no place for a champion. Champions rise.”
