NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The Memphis Grizzlies are soon going to be faced with admitting to a mistake about signing the enigmatic Allen Iverson as the unfolding saga of a Superstar with no gas in the tank is unfolding in front of their eyes. The appeal of having Allen Iverson on your team is understandable to anyone. Allen can take his small NBA body and light up the scoreboard at times with so little effort that you have to just stare with awe.
The problem with taking on Allen Iverson is …read more

Kurt Rambis was originally drafted by the Knicks and ended up playing for several teams, but is best known for his stints with the Lakers in L.A.
Rambis is the man with the goggles. That is how we will always remember him. Kurt averaged around 5 points and 5 rebounds for his career, but that is not what his career was all about. Rambis epitomized hustle and would make himself a pest to the other team. He was like a mad dog that …read more

The NBA is a paradise of pampered ultra elite athletes that have failed to realize how special their lives truly are compared to the rest of us average people that slog it out every day just to get a check that won’t quite last until the next check.
Allen Iverson NBA superstar
Allen Iverson is a case in point causing disruption everywhere he goes, in spite of talent that just oozes out of his pores. Speaking of pours, not pores, Allen refuses to pour his heart into his team as …read more

Has Dirk Nowitzki started an early bid for MVP with an incredible fourth quarter of 29 points against the Utah Jazz? Dirk had 40 total points on a night when for 3 quarters he just could not get it going and it looked like a boring defeat at the hands of the Jazz, but then the magic scoring hands of Nowitzki went to work and broke Mark Aguirre’s 1 quarter Maverick scoring record.
NBA factoid: Last December Carmelo Anthony had 33 in a single quarter to tie George Gervin’s …read more

Ahh, remember those warm nights in college when girls would streak across the softball field? Whatever happened to those days? Sorry, getting a little off the subject.
Tayshaun Prince
Tayshaun Prince has started 439 games in a row, which in the modern NBA with all the travel, is quite a prodigious streak. Painfully, especially for Tay, it will come to an end tonight.
His games-played streak was second among active players, trailing Andre Miller, and his games-started streak of 439 was the longest active run.
The bad news was compounded …read more

Maybe you have missed the big news about the economy? It is becoming more apparent that the whole crash thing with the banks and the stock market was all a hoax or maybe it has run its course, because money is floating around everywhere. Boston just floated a whole boat load of money over to Rajon Rondo to keep him from becoming a restricted free agent in the upcoming blockbuster free agent market of next year.
League sources said the extension is for five years and guarantees …read more

Steve Nash is 35 years old. He was drafted by Phoenix in 1996 in the first round and played part of his career for the Dallas Mavericks and then returned to the Phoenix Suns.

This is not a prediction post by NBAObsessed. That is my upfront disclaimer. This is news from the Los Angeles DailyNews. They have actually mentioned 37 ways that the Lakers will be Champions of the NBA again.
Here are my top 10 from the list:
12. George Karl still coaches the Denver Nuggets.
Don’t get me started on George Karl, but he is a big disappointment as a pro coach. Maybe he did well last year or maybe he just needed Chauncey Billups.
15. Yao Ming … MIA.
With Yao out, Houston is …read more

This is it for all the marbles, the opener for Boston and Cleveland and a matchup that may well decide the Eastern Conference Championship. Not that this particular game will settle anything except, the losing team will not go undefeated. Still the NBA, in its usual sharp marketing way, decided to match the two super powers up right away.
Many NBA fans do not even pay attention until the NFL has reached playoff time in January making it difficult if not impossible to pull in a full …read more

NBAObsessed is going on record for being in favor of Charles Barkley getting a job as an NBA General Manager. Charles has spoken and he wants the job. He is ready to grow, he says.
Ok, ok, stop laughing now, Charles meant he is ready to grow as a person and was never referring to his waistline and you have to believe he means it, because in the world of Charles Barkley the truth is always what you say no matter who you offend or how dumb …read more
