Known as much for his scandalous social life as his time on the court, it’s no surprising that Lamar Odom has come out with a memoir about his life. We’re itching to know what life as like as Mr. Khloe Kardashian, as well as the crazy time following his split. According to People, who have an exclusive excerpt from the book, we’re about to get some serious nitty gritty details about the high highs and low lows of the ex-Laker.

In his new memoir, Darkness to Light — exclusively excerpted in PEOPLE — the NBA champion writes, “I have been obsessed with sex for as long as I can remember.”

“I am a sex addict,” writes Odom, who was married to Khloé Kardashian for four years before they split in 2013.

The 39-year-old reveals that he has had sex with more than 2,000 women. “There were too many strippers to count,” he writes. “It wasn’t a big deal, but often I would pay them. I never thought less of them.”

Odom also reveals that he cheated on Kardashian throughout their marriage; she eventually discovered the infidelities.

“I was shocked and embarrassed,” he tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. “I wanted to take it back, but you can’t. [I] wanted to hide it. But that sick sin was hard for me to hide … I had a problem.”

Heavy stuff… and we have to imagine being married to a reality star who publicized his battles didn’t help. Here’s to hoping life is better now!
