NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball. And now for the untold story of what happened and what may happen to the New York Knicks. It appears that the New York Knicks in their infinite wisdom, oops, make that finite wisdom, passed on Brandon Jennings after several workouts, even though they could see the obvious talent of a young point guard that could shoot from the outside. Recently NBAObsessed wrote about the 55 point effort by Brandon Jennings. The Knicks wasted their pick on Jordan Hill, who in spite of the Jordan in his name, is spending most of his time on the bench instead of playing on the court. These are the same Knicks that have tried to get rid of every player on their team in order to clear salary cap... [Read more]

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball. Sometimes we see players and forget that they are a legend in the making, a special player that has done it so well for so long that we take it for granted that it is just the way it is done, that it is nothing special at all. There are a handful of players in the league that present such a present even though we will remember and remark about them in the future. Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, Shaq, and yes, even Allen Iverson. Kobe went off for 40 points against my Pistons and no it did not hurt your intrepid author, because it is common knowledge that my Pistons play very little defense this year. Ben Wallace is too old and Tayshaun Prince cannot guard... [Read more]

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball. Paul Allen was high school buddies with Bill Gates and the quiet Microsoft co-founder. He is now worth about 11.5 billion dollars and owns several businesses, and a few sports teams. He formed Vulcan in the mid-1980s to invest in media and communications companies, including America Online, DreamWorks Animation and cable operator Charter Communications Inc. He also co-founded a Silicon Valley research lab that he then shuttered after investing more than $100 million. Beyond technology, Allen has used his Microsoft earnings to take his interests to an extreme. A longtime sports fan, Allen bought football’s Seattle Seahawks and basketball’s Portland Trail Blazers,... [Read more]
Stephen Jackson brings insanity to Bobcats

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball. Wait, shouldn’t the title read “Stephen Jackson brings sanity to the Bobcats”? You have obviously not been paying attention to the Stephen Jackson story. Golden State was more than happy to get rid of a team chemistry problem. Why Larry Brown at his age would want to take on Stephen Jackson is beyond me, but you know the NBA, if you can put the ball in the hoop with any regularity then some team owner will pay you millions of dollars no matter how you act in public. So it is time for a quick review. Why would Charlotte take a chance on Stephen Jackson after the owner publically stated he would not embarrass Charlotteans which are not to be confused with...

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball. There are some fans out there, along with many writers and coaches, that believe that Blake Griffin already has the ROY trophy sitting above his fireplace on the mantle proving what everyone thinks about him being a type of Patrick Ewing of the new age of the NBA. Brandon Jennings is here to serve notice that he is one rookie that is just not going to lay down and allow Blake to walk off with the trophy. Milwaukee Bucks 129 Golden State Warriors 125 Brandon Jennings just missed Wilt Chamberlains all time rookie single game record of 58 with a Buck Rookie high of 55. Abdul-Jabbar, then known as Lew Alcindor and who became the highest-scorer in NBA history, held the franchise... [Read more]
