Brown: Curry Will Bounce Back

In a report in the NY Times today, Larry Brown gives his opinion about the Knicks’ out of shape and completely worthless for almost 3 years now struggling center Eddy Curry.

“I really think down the road he’ll be an asset,” Brown, the Charlotte Bobcats coach, said Friday morning. “I really believe that.”

“Brown said he monitored Curry’s progress from a distance this summer, when Curry shed about 40 pounds with the help of a personal trainer.

“I was in contact with him this summer…” Brown said. “He was losing weight; he was making unbelievable progress.

“If Eddy ever gets himself healthy, and the way Mike coaches, he’ll be a load to try and guard,” Brown said, “because who are you going to come off and help? He’s too good a kid. Hopefully, it will work out. I know what he’s been through this summer, and the sacrifices he made.”

Uhhh, thanks? Can we get Isiah Thomas’ opinion as well?  Hell, what’s Don Nelson got to say on the matter??

Better yet — you want him? He’s yours!  I’ll bet you Jared Jeffries contract that DW would ship him to you in an overnight box if he can find one big enough.

I’m glad Eddy has fans and supporters around the league, but until he laces up and shows he can stay healthy for more than 4 days at a time and learns how to jump and/or play defense, I’m not sure how he’ll be much of an asset to this team no matter who the coach is.

But thanks for the well wishes, Lar…

    Sacrifices? Curry makes over 10 mil a year and his only responsibility is to remain in basketball shape.

    This Larry Brown nonsense is insulting to NYC./

    Poor Eddy. He has no sense or maturity and needs a trainer to get healthy and fulfill his obligation to be a pro basketball player and earn his $12M and avoid a heart attack. How I feel for him having to exercise and give up eating crap.

    If he does not show up at 285# I would not let him near my team. He has no hope, dudes. He needs daily counseling and a real life.

    If he is making $12M for 8 mos of service, he made $57,000 bucks today. Can you imagine dat? he makes that every day as a banished misfit. And he is incapable of performing on a basketball court for 5 minutes. Who offered him that contract–what wise, experienced GM?

    I think I’ll puke. Naa… If the Knix lose tonight, I’ll puke then.

    Curry is pathetic and so is Larry brown. If he thinks that he can have this Lazy, heartless Loser! I would trade him for anything. I don’t ever want to see him on this team anymore.
