Just when you thought Eddy Curry couldn't get any worse he shows up to camp 20 pounds heavier, and now weighs a shocking 325 pounds!
"Eddy Curry never showed up for voluntary workouts in July and September and was the last player to make it to the Knicks practice facility just ahead of the start of training camp. The team was hoping he would lose weight in the offseason, but he didn't. The New York Times reports he gained 20 pounds and tipped the scales at 325 when the Knicks weighed him.
According to the newspaper he was lapped during a drill on Saturday in which players weaved through cones around the court and by Sunday night he was sitting on the sidelines with a tight hamstring.
"Obviously, we're pushing these guys hard," head coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He misses anything, it just makes it a little bit tougher."
Asked if Curry was already behind, D'Antoni said, "Well, yeah (ESPN)."
Oh those Knicks, man they crack me up. Curry is making over $11 million this year. The good news is that this is his last year, so maybe they can move his expiring contract, but knowing the Knicks they'll probably resign him for twice as much.
