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 …read more

Enough is enough. Bring them back. Now.
The NBA replacement referees are no doubt trying their hardest to fit in and do a good job. Maybe too good of a job. Yesterday your intrepid author, NBAObsessed, wrote about the coach from Tel Aviv, Pini Gershon, getting kicked out of an exhibition game.
Yes, you heard that correct, an exhibition game!
This is just another case of the NBA replacement referees taking their jobs a bit too seriously. Maybe they think they will get hired on permanently.
This was one of those games …read more

Stephon Marbury, the man that had the Starbury shoes, has decided to take off the shoes for one year and just sit. Well, he is going to do more than sit, because he plans to build up his empire even more. So as a business decision, he will not take the 1.2 million to go back and play for the Boston Celtics.
Business decision as in no other team really wanted a selfish old point guard.
Hey, you are picking on one of my all time favorite players, …read more

You have to go back to my youth to understand my feelings here. Back in the day and this was long ago before Magic and before Bird, but after the prime of Russell. In those days of pre-cable and no VCR, let alone a dvr, the games on TV were very limited. Mostly you watched Boston and rooted against them, unless you lived in Boston or you watched New York and rooted for them, especially when they played Boston. Keep in mind this was …read more

What is going on with these teams anyway? The Mavericks, Knicks, and Trail Blazers are fighting, that is right, fighting to sign Jason Kidd. Why? He will be a basketball grandpa age of 37 next year and how is he supposed to keep up with the speedy young guards if his team makes the playoffs?
Jason Kidd will be in the Hall of Fame and there is no questioning that at all, but he will be there for piling up stats like the rest of us …read more

Yesterday, we discussed how Isiah Thomas was still loved in Michigan no matter what kind of mockery he makes of himself out in the world of coaching. Today, we will look at the fact that he appears to be making a mockery of himself again.
Florida International deserves everything they get, so they better have an exit strategy. For myself, let us hope that Isiah surprises the nay sayers (that includes myself) and finds his coaching mojo.
The doubters are out there.
“He feels like he’s toxic in the …read more

It is just that kind of day. The kind of Michigan day when you go outside and the cold rain beats down on your head and the sun is lost somewhere on the other side of the clouds. You know in the back of your mind that this is about as good as it gets and at least there is no snow. Yes, it is just that kind of day.
Someone at Florida International lost their minds and hired Isiah Thomas at the same time.
How will …read more
