NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Shawn Marion is known as the Matrix and he can do it all on a hoop court. For years he operated in near anonymity in Phoenix. It got so bad that Shawn threatened to leave just so he could be the man on some other team instead of third banana behind Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire on the Suns. Finally the Suns gave him his wish and dealt him to the Heat for the Shaq. The Heat were not very good and needed a …read more

Every year you can count on the Dallas Mavericks being very interesting with Mark Cuban as an owner and Dirk Nowitzki as your star player, you have all the makings of an explosive team with explosive ownership.

Hey, the Heat can forget about Amare Stoudemire.

Miami finally took that option Friday, taking the Heat out of the chase for Marion’s ex-Phoenix Suns teammate Amare Stoudemire.

Shawn Marion shows off his Matrix WWE move with the knee smash from up high
Shawn Marion is an amazing player and if you have ever watched him play for the Phoenix Suns or the Miami Heat, you would have been amazed. Just how does he do what he does? And that jump shot or whatever you want to call it, just where did that come from and how come no coach ever made him change it? Maybe because it goes down even from long range?
Anyway, …read more

Michael Curry will try to right the Piston ship
The NBA is proud to bring a brand new coach to your area. They did it for 8 teams.
Think about that. 8 new coaches.
Ever heard of a brand new coach immediately winning it all? It has probably happened, but not to my knowledge.
Usually you just fired the last coach because the team stunk so bad he could not make them win.
So this year we bring you the 8 trying to make …read more

For better or worse and most of the time worse, Stephon Marbury has been the face of the New York Knicks. He was like a plague to both Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas. Now the Knicks are prepared to face life without him.
The rumor is that the Miami Heat will go after Stephon. That may be a bad idea even though the Heat need a point guard.
Yes, yes, if Stephon Marbury would mind his ways …read more

Tim Duncan says “You have to stop me to get to the finals
The Lakers picked up Pau Gasol, so they would not lose any momentum when Andrew Bynum was injured. When Bynum comes back, you have a front court of Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom to go with Kobe Bryant. Arguably a powerful lineup.
The Phoenix Suns dealt the Matrix for Shaquille O’Neal. The Suns needed a center to get past the Spurs and because the Gasol deal had moved the Lakers ahead of them. If Shaq …read more
