What happened

Former NBA star Lamar Odom is celebrating 100 days sober — sharing an uplifting message with his nearly 1 million Instagram followers.

Why it matters

“There are days I don’t think I could make it,” the former Lakers star wrote Thursday.

Common ground

“But with God’s grace, the love of the people around me, and a commitment to myself, I’m still standing.” Odom’s sobriety streak began in January, shortly after he was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Las Vegas.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
