Knicks · Heat Pass On Signing Eddy Curry (page 1)

Yahoo!’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Heat’s decision was largely due to Curry’s poor conditioning, with Curry carrying more than 350 pounds on his 7-foot-frame.

Several NBA teams, including Miami, are expected to monitor his progress over the summer and consider the possibility of bringing him to training camp next season.

ahahahhahahahah....yeah sure, go ahead and monitor that...he'll turn it around by the summer...yup!

But hiring did not help as Curry, even when he showed up in shape, had no shot at getting into the rotation.

Not every guy brings the mental toughness of a MJ or Kobe. Curry is a big kid who probably needs to be coddled a lot more than other players.

Eddy can't play in the NBA anymore. If he could he would be playing.

And that's just the stuff ON the court.

And would have not wasted NBA time and some poor deserving individuals roster spot. Same way Pre-Med Majors get weeded out Freshman year.

Plus, he is going to be broke in 2 years (if he is not broke already). It is just sad. Dude, needs to hire a professional cook to prepare ALL of his meals. I mean it is one thing for a guy that works all day to get fat from sitting at his desk, but when you have nothing else to do but play basketball ALL DAY, how in the world can you not stay in some kind of decent shape.

So you are making the case for multi-millionaires who alos need to be coddled? Way to go!

He didn't love basketball, and didn't want to play it all day. He just happened to be 6-11, agile with soft hands. Those were his gifts. He didn't want them.
