Yardbarker: Eddy Curry

Get Ready for Knicks Basketball!

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:55:00 -0500

Prospective GM's, get him now! Only owed $10.5m this year and $11m+ next! (via)This caught my eye today:Eddy Curry won't be with the team as the regular season begins. The Knicks still have him working on his own to cut down more weight and get him able to be able to play at the speed the Knicks want him to play without getting hurt. It seems pretty obvious the franchise views Curry as too critical a piece to just give up on him. But I wonder how much longer this goes on before they p...

Perk's influences: KG... Eddy Curry... Kwame Brown. Wait, WHAT???

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:52:52 -0500

Celtics.com recently put up their conversation with Kendrick Perkins... and one of the first questions is "who were some of the guys who were big influences in getting you to the NBA?"

His answer is absolutely priceless. He drops KG's name immediately... which is understandable. Then he drops this gem:

"Believe it or not... Eddy Curry, Kwame Brown. I seen those guys getting drafted and I played against those guys... so, you know I seen guys like Tyson Chandler being drafted... so I was like 'if they can do it, why not me?' so that was kinda like motivation."

Ha... I love it. "Yeah... I saw those scrubs getting drafted and I thought 'THOSE guys are getting paid? Shoooooot... I gotta get mine!' "

Let me tell ya... I could listen to Perk talk all day. The drawl... the deliberate delivery... the lack of B.S. and a "yeah, I said it" kind of attitude behind everything he says. Pure awesome.

One other tidbit: He came into the league at 323 pounds. He's down to 270. Damn, Perk. You should give Sweetney some tips.

Sorry... couldn't resist one more shot.

Sports Implications of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:06:00 -0500

Shaun Assel of ESPN Magazine has an interesting article on the sports implications of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which goes into effect Nov. 21, and which explicitly bars employers from using genetic results in hiring and workplace decisions. The piece, which discusses a topic that might make for a great student law review/journal note, is available on ESPN Insider, so I can only post a small portion it. Here's a short excerpt, which features an interview with S...

Knicks to Curry: No Fatties Allowed

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:45:21 -0500

Reportedly, Eddy must shed a lot of weight before he’s allowed to don the blue and orange uniform again: “Patrick Ewing stands a better chance of suiting up for the Knicks next week in Miami than Eddy Curry. Curry, the team’s out-of-shape center who was banished from practicing with his teammates two weeks ago, must meet a certain weight before he will be allowed to rejoin the Knicks. According to a source close to the team, Garden Chairman James Dolan was involved in the de...

Eddy Curry's body can't handle him being a fat bastard

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:46:51 -0500

Eddy Curry addresses the media after yesterday's practice

The combination of sheer bulk and a workout regimen that includes using a hoveround to get to the refrigerator are proving too much for Eddy Curry's body. It's revolting on him, cracking under the pressure of hauling his fat ass around.

Eddy Curry could be sidelined up to one week after an MRI revealed a torn right plantaris muscle, which runs from the top of the calf to the Achilles. Curry returned to New York today to have blood drained from the injury and he is expected to be back in Saratoga on Thursday.

"Human legs can only carry around so much weight" Curry's fictitious doctor probably said. "Think of it like you're trying to stand a Christmas ham on two toothpicks. You can only do that for so long before the crack under the sheer tonnage."

When I told Chuck I was working on a post about Eddy Curry's torn muscle... Chuck replied: "He has muscle?"

What does any of this have to do with anything Celtics? Nothing. I just like calling Eddy Curry a fat-ass. What's he gonna do? Eat me? He can't even dream without stopping to catch his breath. I'm not afraid.

Word on the street is that Eddy Curry is trying to get his groove back. Ostensibly, he wants to "be ready" and "resemble a basketball player" and "attract women." But I'm willing to bet he logged on to the information super highway, went to Google, started Googling "eddy curry is awesome" and saw this:Then he had the sadness and decided, "I should probably stop being as fat as I am. This will cure the sadness." Because I'm trying to di...

Curry: 'I'll be ready'

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 22:50:13 -0500

He ran hard, he spun, he bounced and he dunked. In fact, he dunked with ease, which is not something you could say a few months ago. Eddy Curry looked himself again. Yes, still big, but nimble and explosive. And six weeks into his strict offseason regimen, he went as far as saying the game seems to be coming easier for him again. He reacts now on instinct when over the past few seasos he admits he used to calculate a lot of his moves. "This," he said, "is the way it used to b...

Eddy Curry may be shutting it down for the year

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 13:20:21 -0500

Over the course of a full NBA season, grabbing four boards a game and not playing defense are bound to take its toll on the human body. He's also averaging half an assist a game this year, which when compared to Yinka Dare's stats, isn't all that bad.
