NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.

Kobe Bryant just came up with a 61 point performance in leading the Lakers to a 126 to 117 victory over the Knicks.
As long as Mike D’Antoni is the coach of a bad Knicks team then high scores will abound, but there is definitely something special about scoring 61.
Kobe’s New York moment turned out to be a once-in-a-lifetime thrill ride as the league’s reigning MVP poured in 61 points – the most ever by any player at the Garden – in the Lakers’ 126-117 victory.

Mike D’Antoni has got it going on. The Knicks have been cleaning house and adding new players to fit the D’Antoni system.
The latest trade rumor, as reported by Eric Pincus of the most excellent hoop site Hoopsworld, has Sacramento trading Brad Miller for Stephon Marbury.
While this has yet to be confirmed, the Kings might be an ideal suitor for exiled point guard Stephon Marbury of the New York Knicks.

Zach Randolph is sent to the Clippers

The Knicks have shown the door to half the team or so it seems. Time to clean out the deadwood and find some winners.

What are the Knicks thinking?
Sometimes you have to just cut your losses and move on. Are the Knicks listening?
No, it seems not.
The New York Knicks have no plans to do anything with Stephon Marbury, except pay him his $21.9 million salary and give him a great seat to watch all their games.
Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni and team president Donnie Walsh said that they will not waive, buy out or trade Marbury. They also will not let him play in games, unless there is an injury to …read more

Eddy Curry does not have the quick look

Watching the Knicks struggle last year, the games often revolved around sloppy play or selfish moves. The one area where they seemed to have some strength was down on the box with Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph. New coach Mike D’Antoni just does not see it that way. Eddy is out and small ball is in.
