Mobley To Retire at Press Conference This Afternoon
By Andrew Smith - Dec 11, 2008 9:19 am

 The Knicks will hold a press conference this afternoon at 12:30 for newly acquired shooting guard Cuttino Mobley to announce his retirement due to a heart condition.

Sometimes we get caught up in treating professional athletes as non-humans, but this heart condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the same condition that affected Hank Gathers and Reggie Lewis. It was reported by the New York Post that Mobley’s four previous teams all knew of the condition and made him sign a waiver to play.

Mobley, a 2nd-round pick of the Houston Rockets in the 1998 NBA Draft averaged 16 points per game over an 11-year career in which he played for Houston, Orlando, Sacramento, and the L.A. Clippers. 

Great career Cuttino, you’re making the right decision.

Just an educated guess…..

Chris Delanoy is an available free agent too. I hear he is a defensive stopper with unlimited three-point range and no conscience.

I liked the Dee Brown recommendation. If not him, is Houston getting a crack, or is he done?

Although i think Dee Brown is a good idea, i would like to see Ewing Jr. get a chance.
Drew – check with ur scouts im not sure about that defensive stopper comment, the other two seem to be right on!!
