NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The Los Angeles Lakers continue to dominate the Western Conference and stretched their winning record to an unbelievable 18 – 3 putting them a full 3 games ahead of the global cooling Phoenix Suns. The latest victim for the Lakers is coached by Laker Alum and new coach Kurt Rambis. Kurt is remembered by Laker fans for his hustle and dirty work to put the glue in the old Lakers. Still it would take more than hustle and glue for the Minnesota Timberwolves to take down the Lakers.

Does Kobe Bryant live under a lucky star? Well, that is not my theory or at least not all of my theory, but we will get to that in a moment.
Is this a case of good things happen to good people? One thinks not, but that might be a part of it anyway.
Los Angeles Lakers 108 Miami Heat 107
So what happened anyway? The Lakers were behind the Heat in a Kobe vs. Dwyane Wade duel and the score was 107 – 105, when Kobe got the ball and …read more

Carmelo for MVP
There are rumblings of Carmelo Anthony being in the bid for the NBA league MVP. To his credit, Carmelo has tried to keep the rumblings down and let nature take its course. For Carmelo to win the MVP of the NBA there would first be Carmelo taking care of business against Kobe Bryant and the L.A. Lakers come playoff time. Carmelo is off to a good start in that department.

The Nuggets exploded in the third quarter to take down Kobe and …read more

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

Just looking up at the title of this post cracks me up, because my life is immersed in acronyms and that title is nothing by acronyms. How did we survive without acronyms?
Would you like the title to say Most Valuable Player for the National Basketball Association picked by the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network? No, you like acronyms, just like NBAObsessed. By the way, while looking up what the P stood for, did you realize that ESPN is owned by ABC, which in turn is …read more

Sometimes the NBA can take on a whimsical tone with events going beyond reality causing what we know to be totally false. How else can you explain the sudden disappearance of the volatile aggressive Ron Artest that we all have come to know and love? Still, that is what has happened in La La Laker land, where the milk and honey flow in the form of Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson, and a roof of championship banners.
Ron Artest signed a long term contract for 34 million bucks …read more

Oh, this is going to be one of those gossip columns, which is pretty much something your intrepid author can’t stand to write about or even hear about. All the Pop and glitter and reality TV drives me crazy.
Like it is more normal to want to watch tall guys bounce an orange ball and run up and down a wooden floor? Ok, you got me there.
So here is the news…Khloe Kardashian and that would be Kim’s sister is getting married to her boyfriend and he plays …read more

ESPN does this thing where they get together a bunch of basketball experts that vote on the NBA conference teams to see who will end up in the NBA title game.
Well, this was a tough vote. The Los Angeles Lakers won in a landslide. Geez that is hardly news. The champs added Ron Artest to the lineup and resigned Lamar Odom and those two are just bit players on that team. You have to recognize that the Lakers are Kobe Bryant’s team first last …read more

What determines the fates of NBA teams the most? Well, of course, you can get lucky and sign Michael Jordan or someone close to that stature, like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, but the real answer is ticket revenue. Hoopsworld did a breakdown of ticket revenue and guess what teams came out at the top?
L.A. Lakers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls.
Now guess what teams came out at the top for pricing power?
