NEW YORK -- Neighbours have buried a teenager who died when a motorcycle collided with a vehicle carrying Los Angeles Lakers player Lamar Odom and hurtled onto a New York sidewalk, striking the youth. Odom, who stars in a reality TV show with his wife, Khloe Kardashian, was visiting his native Queens on Thursday afternoon when a motorcycle tried to turn left in front of the chauffeured Cadillac Escalade sport-utility-vehicle he was riding in, police said. The motorcycle hit the front bumper of the SUV and went out of control, striking a pedestrian, 15-year-old Awsaf Alvi Islam, New York City Police Spokesman Paul Browne said Tuesday. "It hit him from behind and he went right down headfirst," said Rahat Islam, a friend of the boy. An ambulance took the boy to Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens with severe head trauma, said Atiya Butler, a spokeswoman for the hospital. He died of his injuries at about 2:30 p.m. local time Friday. The driver of the motorcycle, 32-year-old Christian Mora of Queens, was in stable condition at the same hospital, Browne said. No one has been arrested, but the collision remains under investigation, he said. The SUV was owned by a New York livery car service. The driver was unhurt. Awsaf Alvi Islam was the son of immigrants from Bangladesh, an avid soccer player who had recently become more involved in his local mosque, Rahat Islam said. "He was very quiet, a good boy," said Nomani Choudhury, president of the Jam-e-Masjid mosque. Mourners gathered on the sidewalk in front of the mosque on Monday and bowed their heads in prayer around Islams plain wooden casket. The consul-general of Bangladesh in New York, Shabbir Ahmad Chowdhury, also attended the service, Choudhury said. Members of the mosque took up a collection to pay for the casket and burial at Washington Memorial Park on Long Island. "His family is hand-to-mouth, so we took it on ourselves," Choudhury said. The collision occurred shortly after Odom had stopped at the China One Taco House at the corner of 45th Street and 48th Avenue in the Woodside neighbourhood of Queens, said Shadrath Choudhury, 12, who lives in the area. He and other children from the neighbourhood flocked around Odoms vehicle and took pictures with their cellphones as Odom waved from the rear seat. Shahrath Choudhury said two motorcycles had been speeding up and down the avenue that afternoon, one of them doing wheelies. "My thoughts and prayers are with the young boys family," Odom wrote Monday via the Twitter messaging service. A spokesman for the Lakers, John Black, said the team would not comment about players during the NBA lockout. A spokeswoman for Kardashian also declined comment. Odom is a seven-year veteran of the Lakers and has also played for the Los Angeles Clippers and Miami Heat. His agent and publicist did not immediately answer emails seeking comment. Kardashian is a socialite who has appeared in three reality TV series with her sisters, Kim and Kourtney. She and Odom were married in 2009 and have a spinoff reality TV show, Khloe & Lamar, on the E! cable network. Customized David Hawthorne Jersey .

"In the second set I think I did everything better," said Nadal, who defeated top-ranked Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros on Monday for his 11th Gram Slam title.HOUSTON -- The way LaMarcus Aldridge was playing on Saturday night, Damian Lillard knew the Rockets would focus on the Trail Blazers star in overtime. When the rookie started getting more open looks, he delivered. Lillard scored 20 points, including eight in overtime, and the Trail Blazers slowed down James Harden in a 95-85 win over Houston. "(Aldridge) had it rolling, he was dominating the game offensively, and I just wanted to make sure I was in the position to knock the shots down," Lillard said. "(Aldridge) got going and I was able to get easier shots." Aldridge finished with 27 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and two blocks for the Trail Blazers. All but four of Lillards points came in the second half. He also had nine assists and six rebounds. Lillard and Nicolas Batum each made a 3 to help Portland open an 87-81 lead in the extra session. Harden then made a pair of free throws before Lillard converted a reverse layup. His second 3 of overtime pushed Portlands lead to 93-85 with 1:25 remaining. "He made big shots for us, and thats what we need from him," Aldridge said of the first-round pick. Harden led the Rockets with 24 points in his home debut, but he wasnt as dominant as he was in the first two games. He scored 37 and a career-high 45 points after he was acquired in a deal with Oklahoma City last week. The NBAs Sixth Man of the Year signed a five-year, $80 contract extension on Wednesday. Batum had 17 points, Wesley Matthews scored 16 and J.J. Hickson added nine points and 12 rebounds for Portland. Jeremy Lin had 13 points and seven assists in his home debut for the Rockets, who lost for the first time this season. "It wasnt the prettiest game today and I think both sides struggled to hit shots," Lin said. "Thats the way it goes sometimes." The game was tied with 1:17 to go before Lin made a layup while being fouled by Hickson. He sunk the free throw to give Houston an 81-78 lead. Matthews tied it again with a 3 with just under a minute left. He also guarded Harden most of the night. "When you put up 45 the night before, it kind of wears you out," Matthews said. "We are friends, but when its tipoff time there are no friends." Houston had a chance to win it iin regulation, but Portland knocked the ball out of Hardens hands seconds before the buzzer.dddddddddddd "It was good defence," he said. "I just lost the ball." Portland led by five early in the fourth quarter before Marcus Morris hit consecutive 3-pointers to give Houston a 69-68 lead. "We didnt get quality shots," Houston coach Kevin McHale said. "We got to get better at that." Dozens of fake beards made to resemble Hardens trademark look dotted the sellout crowd of 18,140. The Rockets were selling them at the team store on Saturday night to take advantage of the excitement created by their newest acquisition. Houstons mascot Clutch even got in on the fun during a break in the third quarter and donned a fake beard, too. Harden said he tweaked an ankle in the game and it slowed him a bit. "But I dont like to make excuses," he said. "I had opportunities to make plays and to make shots and I just didnt." Portland used a 12-4 run at the beginning of the second half to tie it at 49 as the Rockets struggled to find a rhythm in the third quarter. Harden didnt score after halftime until he converted a three-point play with just over four minutes remaining in the third, giving Houston a 58-57 lead. The Trail Blazers answered with seven straight points. An alley-oop dunk by Morris got Houston rolling again and it trailed 64-63 entering the fourth quarter. Harden grabbed a microphone and welcomed fans to the game before the national anthem, and got the team going by scoring Houstons first six points. He had 10 at the end of the first quarter to help the Rockets lead 19-17. Houston opened the second quarter with a 10-0 run. The Trail Blazers first points in the second came on a 3 by Matthews less than eight minutes before halftime. That was the first of seven straight points for Portland before Lin got Houston going again by hitting a nifty one-handed layup and the foul shot. The Rockets led 45-37 at halftime. NOTES: Omer Asik, who had a career-high 19 rebounds on Friday, had 15 rebounds for Houston and Morris finished with 13 points. ... Chandler Parsons had 12 rebounds for the Rockets. ... Aldridge has scored at least 20 points in each of his last nine regular-season games against Houston. |
