Is Eddy Curry the Worst Knick Ever?

It’s spilled milk at this point, but it’s hard to doubt that the Knicks would have had quite a compelling case for LeBron, Wade, and Bosh to all come to NY together if they had Curry’s cap room as well. That is, had the 3 let them on to the fact that that was the goal (because had they, they could have offered Curry in a S&T to one of the 3 teams to get them cap room, and sweetend the offer with Gallo, picks, etc).

In the end, the Curry deal is what should define the Thomas era and the deal that truly croppled this franchise. For all the bad deals from Glen Rice to Steve Francis and everyone in between, this deal is the one that robbed them of 3 years of high picks and saddled them with the most pathetic excuse for an ‘athlete’ this city, and maybe all of sports, has ever seen.

At this point, Curry should be told to just go home and eat chips and proposition male limo drivers until his contract mercifully comes off the cap. There is no one left to spend it on this offseason anyway. After that, he deserves everything that has happened and will happen to him as the useless thief he is.

It’s a dead heat b/w fat boy and Jackie Butler.

I know this is a poll and I wouldn’t normally comment, but come on. We’ve been in existence since, what, 1946 and have 2 championships to show for it.

Who was THE worst player over those 60+ yrs? Curry certainly kills us on and off the court with his contract. Bu who really knows, we’ve done a lot of losing.

Let’s forget that and just move on to what looks like a positive season – hopefully a few, coming our way.

Why do the Knicks want Curry on the summer team anyway? Buy him out and move on its an obivous “L” for us … Move on he’s poison on the team, really eddy curry is a joke as a player and one of the worst contracts ever.. #1 goes to Darko getting 20M this year wow to that!

I seriously doubt that we could have landed the three queens even with the extra $11.3 million cap space this summer. It’s not fair to try to put that on Eddy.

I’m not sure who else we could have signed with that extra dough, but it’s fun to think about it, i guess..

Not many great free agents left anyway. We probaby still would have traded Lee. Maybe we could have made a play for Ray Allen, but I doubt he would have left Boston anyway. Trade scenarios are too subjective to even think about.

My point is that I dont think his contract really hurt us all that much this summer. It’s rolling off soon and it may be part of a nice trade come February.

Is he the worst knick ever? I’m not sure, but he is definitely in the running for it. At least he had one decent season…that may have saved him from being the all time worst lol

Worst is so debatable but I suppose when you marry lack of production (including almost 2 seasons of games NOT played) with dollars paid your hard pressed to find anyone worse.

I think Steph is the worst contract ever for the Knicks! Eddy is probably #3 behind Jerome James and Steph…

Curry should have represented that #34, it seems it has a hex on it, McDysse and Curry have been nightmares since putting that number on …

They should ask Oak who if anyone is worthy to wear the number ..

Nahhhh I’ll pass on a buyout. I’m not gonna pay you to play for somebody else. If you can’t play for me, you can’t play. We’ll give him the Marbury treatment and let him sit home if it comes to that.

“details of Eddy Curry no showing in Vegas when the Knicks anticipated him being in the desert to work out.”

meanwhile your concern should be invested towards why isn’t brokebackmountain working out in vegas……he’s your lottery pick and suppose to be a big piece of the future(if smart via trade)….your head coach has no clue about his improvement and or health while in italy but yet your giving props on a article about eddie not being in vegas.…same dude who has/had a warrant out for his arrest who is finally on the last year of his expiring contract and has no barring on the Knicks as a player past this season……….

“My point is that I dont think his contract really hurt us all that much this summer”

im sorry but this completely upsetted me. of course its the knicks fault for signing that tub of lard but its HIS OWN FAULT for not playing ball. His contract cud of been an addition to another max deal to the 2 we already cud of offered or by him actualy playing we cud of showcased him to other teams looking for center. I can care less about signing the 3 divas but if we didnt have currys salarie on our roster we would have been WAY more flexible in signing other dudes and not only for this summer but for the future as well. So to say his contract didnt hurt us this summer is outrageous.

If you combine raw potential, Size, dratft picks given up to get him here, duration of contract with salary paid and expectations with it, Easy Eddie is clearly the worst Knick of all time.

However, it’s really not his fault that Rose is his agent and Isiah dumped $50 million at him.

If D’Antoni gives Eddy Curry any PT this year he should be fired for basketball malpractice. Using Curry in SSOL would be like driving a new sports car with the parking brake on. The Knicks don’t “owe” him anything aside from the $11mm they will sadly have to pay him this year. And anyway why would we want Eddy’s “work ethic” spreading to our young talent? Why give him minutes instead of Mosgov, who could develop into a Biedrins/Tyson Chandler type C?

That contract probably saved us from not going crazy and having a back up plan w/ Melo for the following summer…
Don’t get me wrong the sooner is better than the later but it didn’t kill us, we showed our cards to LeBron we got Amare’ and offered him the Keys to the franchise… NOTHING else we could have done..period..

He didn’t want to come– I know its hard to Believe/Understand.. But it happened

Cmon Eddy did give us a glimpse of what he could be,the worst Knick has gotta be the actor Jerome Snacks James!!

I have to make a combined effort to worse Knick ever.

1. Worst Management Ever: Isiah Thomas…nothing else needs to be said.
2. Worst Knick Draft Pick Ever: Frederic Weis…sorry if I brought out any bad flashbacks.
3. Worst Knick Player Ever: Stephon Starbury…not the worst player, but the most selfish, never lived up to any expectation and did not care.

Curry was not going to make or break a Lebron signing whether he was playing well or was traded. I think Lebron made his decision long before that ship had sailed.

Curry is definitely up there when it comes to all-time worst Knicks, but I give it to Marbury. Marbury was productive but no enough to justify his salary and make up for his cancerous attitude. Curry passively handicapped the organization, while Starbury actively sought to destroy it, or so it seemed. Curry was a big contract, but Marbury was a HUGE contract and our franchise player.

Marbury = worst Knick ever. There are a lot of Knicks who’ve sucked and didn’t earn their keep, but for the most part it was out of their control. Marbury had the talent and ability but still managed to be everything we needed him not to be. What a joke.

But Curry not being in Vegas is inexcusable, does he not care about his career? Is he gonna follow Antoine Walker to Puerto Rico?

Gallo played 81 games last season, he’s arguable our best player not named Amare. He’s in shape and put the league on notice last season. Theres no reason for the kid to be stressing all summer running around with a bunch of UDFAs fighting for roster spots.

Curry is consistently out of shape, injured, and useless. You’d like to see him in Vegas working with trainers and trying to get into playing shape.

The beef isn’t that Curry isn’t in Vegas – it’s that Curry was EXPECTED to be in Vegas to get in shape and no-showed. The article implies that he was asked to be in Vegas and no showed. Gallo has done nothing but work hard to get on the court and be a player.

looking at the results of the votes I’m not surprised how ignorantly people are swayed to believe such ridiculousness….based on the cast of characters that post on here, the majority of you dudes have little to no clue on wtf your talking about…I guess not putting any actual thought into the question or your team and just basically going on dudes assessment of his posting and other outlets that you choose to use as your source of information instead of watching the games etc yourselves…. such postings as this to actually insets that he’s the worse Knick ever…and dudes actually agreeing with it is laughable and explains why a lot of you say the short sided thing that you say……the worst Knick ever absolutely not maybe the most disappointing though…….

can i add this to your list >>>

Worst trade ever – Mark Jackson for Charles Smith

At this moment, I agree that Curry is the worst Knick because of his immaturity of not wanting to become great through hard work! And of course his contract was a waste! I have to believe that Eddy didn’t have a real man in his life as a positive role model because he became a product of his environment. Things came too easy because of his size and sometimes that can be a hindrance for not thinking that he needed to put in work to be and maintain success in the NBA! He could have raised his stock in the last contract year! I can’t blame Isaiah because Eddy did showed one year that he could be dominating in this league, but the money made this kid soft.

It i

“brokebackmountain”

You can’t be over 15 years old right?

How can he be the worst knick ever and he onced averaged 19 and 7 and demolishing D-Howard in the same year, finishing second among centers in scoring, while being the top scoring center in the east? He is the most uninspired knick ever! The worst reputation would go to Steph. The worst knick ever imo would be Fredrick Weis. How is Curry not better than him if you are basing worst ever on skill level. Curry is actualy one of the more talented knick centers, he just didn’t have the fire and desire to be consistently good and healthy. BTW Tommy please leave LBJ alone! You dudes on TKB are sweating this dude too hard. I would say Jordan said enough about it and said it best so that nobody needs to say anything else. It is what it is or atleast what Jordan said it is.

At the time he was a high risk, high reward acquisition. When you’re in salary cap hell, that’s all you’ve got. Had he simply shown the desire to improve, he could’ve been a very good player for us. What a waste of natural gifts. I don’t believe he played a factor at all with the 3 Miami Globetrotters. They had this planned long ago and simply wanted to enjoy the luxuries of being wined, dined and having their egos fed by the other teams. I respect Amar’e for wanting to be the first guy to step up. He could’ve gone to Chicago. Another day goes by that ‘Melo hasn’t signed his extension………

+1

JEROME JAMES!!! IS THE WOOOOORST EVER!!! At least when Curry played he did a little something, there was talk of being an all-star one year don’t forget, he was playing that well. But what the H,E, double hockey sticks did Jerome ever do other than eat up cap space and space and the surface of the bench? He did NOTHING!! HE HAD ONE GOOD YEAR IN SEATTLE AND WE WASTED OUR MONEY AND TIME ON THIS USELESS PORKER! JEROME YOU WERE THE WORST!!

It’s funny how the worst knick nominees mentioned (Curry, Marbury, Jerome James) were on the team at the same time.

Do you remember when D’Antoni asked for a players vote on whether Steph should join the team and it was unanimously decided NO..
Everyone on the team hated him, Nate Robb and Crawford never even looked at him. And i’m sure Nate probably stepped to him on his BS too..

Steph worst Knick ever, and it hurts because I was such a big fan of his.. Local product gone wrong..

I’ve been following the Knicks for 25 years and I believe Jerome James is the all-time worst Knick. He really should write a book on how to legally steal $30 million.

Oscar,

Jordan spoken huh? Jordan don’t run what I say or think and Steph wasn’t the worst Knick. Frederick Weis never played a game ad far ad I can remember!

its been a horrible 7 yrs or so..

yeah, the last decade has been just great.

Fred Weis also never blackmailed his own coach and GM.

Nobody on this blog knows Curry personally to say what his frame of mind is or what the dude is going through. To me he should not even be a topic of discussion. I have moved on and Im more interested in Turiaf and Mozgof as center options.

Weis was just a bad pick, he didn’t cribble the team financially like Steph or cause a divide in the team like Steph or get caught in affairs with interns like Steph,or embarress multiple Coaches like Steph. Or go on Youtube crying like a school-girl like Steph..

OMG Stephon Marbury –what happened– remember when he said he’s the best PG in the league.. LMAO

The motivational speaker:

Charles Smith.

Enough said.

Read carefully. I never said Steph was the worst knicks ever, I said he had the worst reputation. Jordan is king of Basketball and what he says holds weight imo. Steph like curry is one of the more talented knicks to play at the garden.

I have to change my mind that EC wasn’t the worst Knick. I agree with Joey8664 that Jerome James is the weakest Knick ever to wear the uniform, but Is it really these guys fault or management for paying them too much for little?

We can base an opinion off of Curry’s actions and off those facts he deserves what we are saying about him..

+2 … some of you guys amaze me. Eddy curry the worst knick ever? Are you kidding me? Disappointint, yes. Worst ever? I can probably name 100 off the top of my head who were “Worse”.

The more we find out about this Lebron thing, the more I believe he wasn’t cut out for NYC and was in a lot of ways scared of coming here. So no I am not going to dwell on this Curry thing. Not having to see Curry even on the bench is enough for me. Can’t wait till his azz is officially out of here…

I guess everyone has a different opinion of what worst ever means. I base it on skill and skill alone. To base it on something else I would have to call it something different. I guess if Artest was a knick and did all the things he has done in the past then he would be on the list as worst ever too. Right? Atleast he would according to you guys.

You know them by their ACTIONS!

You’re the one who is being pedantic and willfully ignorant Yo Son. The disappointment is implied in the question. And Eddie is IMO the all-time worst.

Obviously there are undrafted scrubs that the knicks signed for a short term contract that never got on the floor. Great, Curry is “better” than them. However, relative to how much the Knicks invested in him in draft picks and money, there is noone who has been worse for the Knicks.

Jerome WEAK (Worst Ever AS Knick)
James

is absolutely the worst Knick

Stephan StinkBury is 2nd for me

Curry could have been good but was mishandled like everything, during the Isiah, Larry Brown, SkunkBury years

Curry was solid and played hard the few years when the coach was behind him

Turiaf is going to be the new man!!!

Off the thread,

Why is it that everytime we get players they are either injury prone with their style of play, had big time injuries in the past..have career threatning heart problems…

I look at this line up with Stat, Randolph, Azubike, Gallo, Turiaf(heart), etc and think of Mcdyess, JRose, Penny, Tmac, Franchise, and say to myself “Is it sane to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result?”

Ok the worst disappointing Knick ever is Jerome James. Is this statement okay for you Mr. YO SON? You need a hug man!

Sorry Yo but think about this: Has any other player refused to get in shape and play for 2 full years, on any team? I thought about this poll ?, and, remembering Curry gave us a good year entered my mind, but, not getting on the floor, refusing to be bought out told me he is just an obese, lazy SOB that wanted the easy paycheck! The Red Sox got rid of Manny for quitting on the “team’. That is how a quitter should be treated. Curry wouldn’t play for 2 years!!! Any other player mentioned as the worse may just have not been a good basketball player, but at least they were on the court by the coach’s decision because of effort! Curry, worst Knick ever!

I still think the post-Ewing era morphed into a complete disaster because four simple things went horribly wrong:

FACT #1: New York Knicks had a shot to catch lightning in a bottle. Fresh off their miraculous run the Finals, as the 8th seed after finishing 27-23 in the shortened lock-out season….

We’ll never know what might have happened, had Dolan sat tight and resist the urge to fire Ernie Grunfeld during the 1999 season. At the time, the Knicks were underachieving (21-21) and on the verge of missing thre post season. Baby Dolan just took over control from his father, and he wanted to make his mark…. Do what most dictators do when they come into power – lob off some heads.

Before Scott Layden would take over, Mr. Ed Tapscott would serve as interim GM. He would finish out the year and oversee the upcomin draft. We didn’t realize it then (even though this boner has now reached almost mythological status) but this draft could have been our shortcut to the post-Ewing era. Had we got “lucky” here, we would have transitioned from Ewing to non-Ewing without so much a hiccup. Instead, we blew our chance.

Tapscott drafts a frenchman, Frederic Weis, with our first round pick. Everyone knew, and called for, Ron Artest. Tapscott passes on the local kid, and he gets taken with the next pick (like 10 seconds after Stern utters WEISS).

Sure, everyone was going Euro back then. It was in vogue. The international players were gaining a reputation by the end of the 20th century, and we were on the right track. For example, in the second round the Knicks drafted JR Koch with 49th pick. Eleven picks later the Spurs draft Manu Ginobili!

WOW. We had our shot folks. Ron Artest and Manu Ginobili are still leading their teams into the post season, producing and putting up numbers. Doesn’t it burn? Not only does San Antonio beat us in the 1999 NBA Finals, but here they are doing what we needed to do…. Transitioning into the post-David Robinson era in a smooth (and lucky) fashion!

FACT #2: Trading Ewing for bad contracts upon worse contracts and so-on. We should have simply let his contract expire. Bad move Scott Layden. Trading him for half a-carrahap of nothing useful was stupid and destructive. That’s all I;m going to say about that! ‘Nuff!

FACT #3: Enter Isiah Thomas. Trades for Steph Marbury. Like an addict looking for a quick fix, he bought high…. PHO had a nice little run with Marbury at the helm, he was a local kid, so IT swung for the fences right away. Pulled an oblique hacking away, didn’t he? He did average 19 & 19 & 21 & 8, and got us into the playoffs… but then he broke down (in more ways the one). What hurt were the draft picks we gave away!

If we could go back in time, we would have resisted the urge for the quick fix and dove into the free agent pool…. Steve Nash was a free agent, and we helped PHO rebuild but giving them cap releif.

FACT #4: And here we are again… Helping other teams rebuild, right? First it was San Antonio, then Phoenix and now it’s our turn to help our former arch enemy, the Chicago Bulls. After we signed free agent Jamal Crawford, we decide to go for it all again…. Trade for Eddy Curry. Curry did have 1 good year, but his lack of effort was legendary in CHI and we should have been aware of this!

Again, as with Marbury, I see what Thomas was thinking. Curry was young and was a legit NBA CENTER. These don’t grow on trees, and we tried to find a way to lcuk into one. I mean, not like Sweetney or anything was something special. Even with the next pick (#2 in 2006), had Curry been in that draft he might have been taken over Aldridge or Thomas, and who knew about B-Roy?

Still, IT should have done his homework. He saw Curry as another CHICAGO kid, like he, and felt he could work with him…. Being from CHI though, he should have been aware of the warning signs. The heart of Curry (not his heart).

When you consider that we gave up 2 potential lottery pick…. This was the killer.

FINALLY…. although 3 GMs had a hand in robbing a decade from the lives of us Knicks fans, the one person who deserves the most blame- James Dolan!

The dude traded away Spree and Camby b/c of a bogus problem with media relations mandatory meetings. He axed a proven GM, and had an idiot ruin a critical draft, and then handed the keys to his franchise to 2 inexperienced but well-meaning GMs.

Knicks had a shot to draft guys like Artest and Ginobili… could have matched those 2 with Camby… Who knows what happens after that!

Eddy Curry could’ve been a special player and a perennial All-Star. I can understand why Isiah Thomas did everything to build his team around him. But Eddy Curry is a JOKE. A DISGRACE to the New York Knicks organization and the game of basketball. Nobody saw it coming.

You can make the case that Dantoni’s horrible relationship with many current and retired players didnt help in landing Lebron, Wade, and Bosh too… Guess it’s all how you look at things…

“Worst” doesn’t only pertaining to talent. Worse is a relative term and means different things to different fans. Were there players less talented than Curry? Absolutely. But some fans factor in attributes like expectations, character, effort, salary and effectiveness for the franchise.

If you take all those into consideration Curry is definitely up there.

As far as worst draft pick ever, drafting Darrell Walker ahead of Clyde Drexler has to be in the conversation.

How could the Curry trade not be the worst ever?

Jax for Smith was bad, but it was not a 1-for-1. Knicks also got Doc Rivers in that deal to replace Jackson, and clearly they were looking for a #2 scoring option.

I think you guys get riled up for no apparent reason. That’s why we have so many articles on lbj’s “decision”. Truth be told he hasn’t done anything outside of individual awards/achievements. Great player, but no rings. Curry is another story, I still believe the guys has two good season in him. Getting him motivated to play those two seasons is another story, the guys is lazy but not the worst ever. Neither is steph. Instead of focusing on these topics, we should be focusing on the fact that for the first time in two years, both management and coach are saying that its time to start winning now, and not later. So now we get to see what kind of coach we actually have. Don’t be stupid enough to think that we had enough talent on that roster to do anything with. Phil Jackson couldn’t do anything with those guys. But now we have a good power forward and point guard surrounded by some promising young talent. Forget lebron, forget curry’s contract, because we have who we were always gonna get and who we got ain’t bad. I think we’ll see who really knick fans on this site and who just comes on here just to bash us under the knicks fan umbrella.

In fairness Eddy Curry was only 21/22 years old when he led the Chicago Bulls to the playoffs. Looked like a winner.

The worst moves were Patrick Ewing, Marcus Camby + Nene and the Marbury trade.

IMO

Who’s making this case?

so let me get this straight the president/gm gets a pass for 2 seasons…..the head coach gets a pass for 2 seasons….but lets crack the whip at eddy curry…why cant he wait to 2010-2011 season to show up like everybody else..I mean they all got paid guaranteed money to do nothing the past 2 seasons why not him….I’m just saying…you see it’s this kind of mindset that Jessie Jackson was referring to in his analogy….I didn’t like the fact that he used slavery to relay his point…but the fact remands ..some of you dudes mind frames or warped to the point that you really believe that you have some kind patronizing superiority complex that you want athletes(BLACK) to do whatever makes you happy….and you talk about them like dogs when you don’t get what you want out of them..….a lot of that is more racially motivated then fanaticism(if it doesn’t apply let it fly)…but if that’s the case that’s a bitch move and shows your inferiority complex and it’s laughable….it’s sad dudes can care less that him and his family was robbed and docked tapped at gun point…the fact that the mother of his kids was killed as well as other family members(pardon me if that‘s not the actual tragedy that took place….but my sympathy remands the same)…the fact that he gave some clown a second chance at life and paid him very well to drive him around and was a actual friend to him…just so he can turn around a backstab him and make up lies about him to slay his character….it’s like you dudes say f all of that shut up and play just so we can trade you……it’s kinda sickening…..

don’t get me wrong I’ve been disappointed in him too because he has the ability to be, to this day the best low post scoring Center in the league…. he has the ability to be a second tear free agent to a max but you have to keep everything in perspective he’s human on and off the court…..I could see if this is during the season and your caught up in the basketball moment…this is the offseason and it’s been the offseason for a lot of these dudes the past 2 years…..there’s been enough down playing time to put things into perspective, instead of trying to label him the worse Knick ever…at times I have been disgusted with him not fully utilizing his God given abilities…but like I said at the end of the day he’s human….what’s done is done….what’s the point of pilling on…..never with that….I have never seen anybody go threw as much as Eddy has these past couple of years….fall back….

This post is what’s wrong with the knicks fan base. When eddy averaged 19 and 7 you guys compared him to d. Howard. Now that he’s become this oft. Injured player he’s the worst? Come on people. Guys like eddy curry need stability and that’s something we haven’t had for quite some time. Curry like bosh have weak minds they can’t have No. 1 stamped on their back, they can’t handle it. I’m not saying he’s not at fault, but their was a reason chicago was so willing to let him go. This has more to do with management than anything else, we should’ve never went after him in the first place. He’s not new york material. You gotta be tough to make out here, something we can all agree he isn’t. Neither was charles smith. We need to stop focusing on who we don’t have and start looking at the players we do, because under the noses of a lot of teams we have assembled the most balanced team we’ve had since 1999. I say ’99 because that’s the year spree started playing out of position for us (SF). So if spree can play SF why can’t wilson play SG? Not comparing, just saying! We have a pretty good squad.

realisticly we should have drafted Artest & Stoudemire and built the team around that.. And in all fairness those two picks were available for us to do so.. BUT we didn’t so oh well!!

the Rockets should have drafted Jordan too, LOL

And for every person on this blog that talks negatively about Curry, and says disparaging remarks about the person and not just the basketball player… You really need to look in the mirror and recognize this is just a sport and the man has more personal issues (some of which he brought on himself) than I’d venture to say anyone on this blog… To have an ex-girl, and a child murdered, to be accused of sexual harassment from a ex-con that you a gave a job and took a chance on, to be robbed and held at gunpoint, and I can go on about his financial issues… Are not things people easily bounce back from and go to work with the same level of enthusiasm… He hasnt been the same player in the last 3years and these things may not have helped matters… Alot of people would’ve given up completely, MJ left basketball after his father was murdered, Sweetney ate himself out the league after his father died… Every person is built differently, I pray the man gets it together for the sake of his children… I can care less if he is the worse Knick ever…

“You can make the case that Curry’s lack of motivation to play, something we’ve touched on, killed their chances to land Lebron James. Imagine if they could have moved his contract”
ahahahahahah so it’s eddy curry’s fault lebron is not here..riiiight…ahahaha not the fact that after 3 summers of clearing cap space for the day to actually be able to meet with Lebron and explain the vision that was suppose to be the Knicks in the future(Championships aspirations) that you couldn’t relay after 3 summers of preparation just to shoot a air ball…

Wow dude on this blog are really heartbroke over thuis Lebron thing. It’s a guy being heart broke over a girl that never even liked him. Fans are still like ” why didn’t he pick us” ” It must have been this or that” ” Maybe we did something wrong”. Knick fans are getting pathetic! Dude plays for the Heat so he is a rival now so get over the man crush\heartbreak and move on. Amare is our star now so lets focus on our star and our team. You guys act like a bunch of heart broke girls sometimes. I like the direction of the team and think we can bring some noise. Things could have been a lot worst like we could have signed the players NJ signed.

If you can make a case that Curry kept us from getting Lebron you can speculate that Dantoni prevented us from getting the top FA as well… It’s all speculation that’s unfounded

YO SON > didn’t his driver say he was gay too,,LMAO.

Off the court Eddy has problems, but get real you want to sit around and feel sorry for him this a a performance league tht means players who get paid tremendous amounts of money that in the end comes from us need to perform..

So please stop w/ the sentimental BS!!

Lebron was never considering coming to NY. The 3 planned this a while ago and so can we finally move on?

Curry is Fat, out of shape & can’t play anything but the half court game.. On top of all that he’s been here for like IDK what like 5 season now and has gotton worse every yr..

I just typed some of the same things… Yeah it is very sad… I remember as a Knick fan when Marcus Camby’s sister was being held hostage by an ex-boyfriend during the playoffs… And some idiot Knick fans were calling him “Cotton Camby” when he wasnt completely focused on the game… I can recall when QRich’s brother was killed, and people called him a bumb because his shot wasnt falling during the time… NY fans arent always the smartest… Not all of us

Yeah those palyers are going to LOVE to play Defense!! right everyone D-Fense!! lets go play in NJ because the coach is defensive .. ohh yeah they signed Jordan Farmar as their point .. JOKE what a joke never ever say NJ competes w/ us because they don’t they really don’t and we got the Russian take that new owner… ANd Jay-Z I love you but don’t disrespect us like that again w/ the billboard , not cool ur squad is the 3rd team around here behind of course the KNICKS, then Licoln HS, then the NETS.. hahahahahhahaha

Worst Knick ever is an easy one…Charles Smith

where was you getting at(if anyone wants to speak on his behalf because I’m sure he wont..that’s koo)with the jalen rose post with “As guess this is an example of how the players have love and respect for Isiah Thomas”….just because he took shots at ya man what does that have to do with Isiah…running to his danphony like that‘s your shorty or something….haha…instead man up and give a post giving Isiah his props for helping us…matter fact providing us our 1 max in a helpless situation……anybody else would be celebrated as a noble man in this situation after all that’s transpired….TYPICAL(so not feeling you today)….real dudes do real things…where’s his props…thanks again Mr. Thomas on there behalf….HAHA……

U know what would be great is if the HEAT sign Marbury and trade for Curry.. OMG i’m wildin’ but that would be the funniest team ever!!

ohh- i think Isiah is living in Miami now too, RE-UNITED and it feels so good, RE-United like the way you should

The bottom line is that Eddy Curry never really liked playing basketball, it was a way to make money. That’s the bottom line.

He has a low character and is a liar, a lazy good for nothing. The Knicks went out of their way to try and help this pile of dung and he repaid them with his typical brand of BS. Nobody will sign him after this contract is up and his best bet for a job will be as a bouncer at some low class bar.

YO SON > I’m with you on that !!

Isiah is the only one that can relate to these common day players, C’mon Man Donnie is rolling in there in a F#@King wheel chair!! WTF is that !! hahaha LMAO

“Gallo played 81 games last season, he’s arguable our best player not named Amare. He’s in shape and put the league on notice last season. Theres no reason for the kid to be stressing all summer running around with a bunch of UDFAs fighting for roster spots.”

the blasphemy from you dudes…you dudes have no shame …..especially this part right here.. this is great….”He’s in shape and put the league on notice last season.”……..AHAHAHAHAHAAHA nobody mentioned his name this past offseason NOT ONCE…..you dudes are delusional…aahhahahahaha….yo I can’t……

Thankd for the psycho-analysis and social commentary. But Curry has been awarded more privileges, opportunities and money than we could ever dream of. Yeah what happened to his kid and baby mama were tragic, but a lot of people (athletes included) have been through a lot worse and come out a lot better than Curry.

The fact is we’re talking about basketball, and it looks like he just doesn’t give a crap about the sport, even when he was good. But yeah, you can play some nonsensical race card and give Curry a pass because he’s black.

Yea folks must take in account the personal tragedies Eddy has endured, that can be a lot to one’s psyche! Kidnapped, losing 2 loved ones, injuries etc. Eddy has lived up to the potential we saw we as Knicks fans are disappointed but worst knick, no way and truth b told imo Steph isnt either, steph gotta raw break especially when Mr _Antoni came on the scene.

Steph really never got help, he lost A Houston pretty quick, he had different coaches wanting different things on the court from him. Steph was what he was a 20 & 8, although those numbers were misleading because those 8 never really helped teammates get better but he wasnt the worst Knick.

EXACTLY……..from top to bottom of your post….thee end……

expectations, effort, salary, etc…those are not attributes.

Alot worse than getting your kid murdered and having another child there while his mother and sibling was killed… Yeah well I doubt that, many would say there is nothing worse than that… Nice try though… And it’s funny how I never said one word about race, or even being black but you did… Shows where your mind is, I would have said the same thing no matter what race, creed, or color the man was…

Eddy has lived up to the potential we saw we as Knicks fans are disappointed

hasnt lived up

Agreed, but talk about kicking a guy while he is down… The Knicks are heading in a different direction, looks like we will be fine despite the “Eddy Curry Era”… Next year he will no longer be here, and may no longer be in the NBA… The man’s lack of interest in basketball, if it doesnt change this year, will hurt him and his family way more than it will ever hurt us fans… I hope he gets it together for their sake, it’s bigger than basketball…

Can we get a poll as to whether “Yo Son” just made the WORST POST EVER?! Combine the nonsensical material with the horrific grammar and I think it has a chance.

No third year player averaging 15 a game would be in Vegas. Gallo is a startling talent for a 20 yr old. Get a grip son…

“IS EDDY CURRY THE WORST KNICK EVER”? Who wrote this question? An 8 year old? the worst knick ever? I can almost hear children giggling when i read this

They won 2 championships with the dream so…

There have been some players that have played for the Knicks that have been as bad playing wise (possibly even worse, given that he did have one decent year-good offense, not much else), but it is the combination of his bad play, combined with his truly awful attitude & what we had to give up for him that makes him the worst player/biggest setback ever. We gave up two lottery picks, one very high one, for that giant tub of garbage. It’s ironic that one of those two picks turned into Noah, whose attitude is the exact opposite of Curry’s.

To me, the cleansing will not be complete until that huge mound of crap is off of our team!

Eddy Curry is terrible, but I feel a little sympathy for the guy. He’s clearly really messed up. Between the shyness/anxiety, the heart problems, the girlfriend and child being killed, etc., he’s just had an awful life. I’m not saying tht he has done a ton to change things or always put himself in the best situation, but the poor guy is just star-crossed, and might be borderline moronic. Did you know that he has three girls with his current wife and their names are Reign, Reigan, and Reiganna? Oy, Eddy.

How ’bout considering Tracy McGrady the worst Knick ever? When he arrived he was touted as the best player on the team by D’Antoni. If Jordan Hill and the two 1st round draft picks Houston received pan out, we might someday be looking back at a move that rendered us another 5 years of mediocrity.

Not sure that can top Curry, but one never knows.

Wost example of a supposed adult pro athlete getting his life and body in order so he can honor his humongous contact? – yes! And that the Player’s Union makes it impossible to reprimand, fine or cancel his contact is deplorable, in my book. He should be earning zilch for non-performance, or at least donating 99% of his unearned salary to charity. The fact that he seems to have no sense of responsibility, honor or scruples makes me sick. When his contract is over we’ll be hearing how he is broke and under more black clouds. I wished he get a mentor and financial adviser and get his act together, but he seems to like being a boy. Back to work for me.

All you guys need a hug plus two role models because everybody wants to be Loved. I love you guys too! Come on me pull yourselves together!

Jordan’s dad was shot to death and had his body dumped in a swamp.

Jose Theodor’s son at 2 months.

Brian Burke’s son died in a car accident and he went to work the next week.

Lance Armstrong had tumors on his balls.

Matthew Long was a firefighter (and a hero of 9/11) he was run over by a bus, had his body crushed and lives with a catheter. He then ran the NYC marathon and completed the Ironman.

A lot of athlete’s have experienced tragedy and come back. Just like regular people. Except regular people don’t have an $10 million salary to lean on

“And it’s funny how I never said one word about race, or even being black but you did…”

And it’s funny how I wasn’t even responding to your comment. Check YoSon’s above. He pulled the race card.

tru’ .. but are we really going to compare …

FREE EDDY CURRY!!!

Jackie Butler played hard.
He got a bigger contract when he left us than what Curry is going to get.

Absolutely.

Can we trade Yo Son to the Clippers for a bag of sand?

Not the worst trade ever by a long shot.
Loved Jax, but Rivers was a good PG himself and Smith was solid.

Damn, we did that?

WTF?

Agree that Starbury was the worst, because he was a cancer in the locker room.

Curry gets my vote for most pathetic player and person ever on the Knicks.

Can he be sued for failure to deliver services he was paid for, since he isn’t even trying?

JJ is right up there. But at least he actually showed up. Agree with the man who said earlier that Isiah was the worst GM ever.
Ever.

I don’t care what he thinks. Behaviors are what count and he has behaved like a little bitch.

I think Curry was a great player and a great guy, but I really hate him because he is Black.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yo Son – Go join the New Black Panthers my man. You will fit right in baby!

Us Knick fans have had more than our share of worse ever players. Curry is finally worth something as an expiring contract. Hopefully he will be mercifully remembered as the guy whose contract helped get us Chris Paul. Poor Curry has made a mess of his own life.

Besides Chris Dudley. Who was a terrible player for the knicks ON the court prior to Eddy Curry’s arriveal. Curry has officially de throne him from that position ON and OFF the court. Dudley had NO game, but atleast he gave effort when his name wss called.

EFF LEBRON

I hate to say this, but I think it’s highly likely we are going to be reading articles about how Curry is homeless in Chicago within a couple of years.

yer soooooo fulla crap.first of all,this could be the WORST post ever on a KNICKS blog,2nd ..if ZEKE were a white man ….you wouldnt piss on him if he were on fire YO SON! Ha ha ha ha ha ha

yeah make fun of a guy who has to use a wheel chair thats fkkkin rich!

Attribute: a word ascribing a quality

They are factors. But I’d like to thank you far taking time out of your precious day to be a message board proofreader. We’re so grateful

Now do you have an actual counterpoint?

+1

every thing Yo Son just said was just ridiculous. gallo has proven himself more than enough to not have to show up for summerleague, and he declined playing for the italian team this summer because he wants to make sure his back is in good shape for the knicks this coming season. so why would he go risk messing it up in summerleague?

bottom line, i think curry is the worst knicks player that i can remember…worst nba player i can rememeber. because ive never seen a guy so unwilling to play or work out or just try AND hes getting paid a LOT to do nothing.

Hey, Yo Son showed up here after the season was over, trying to write like he is street, or at least like he is Degawd, but Degawd knows some basketball.

Once again, negativity and cynicism substitute for “sophistication” and knowledge. Given the odds that things have a higher percentage of going wrong than going right, it is safer to be negative and say, “I told you so.”

The Knicks had some horrible players over the years: Shandon Anderson, Howard Eisley, Greg Butler, Mardy Collins, Jerrod Mustaf, Frank Williams, Anthony Bonner to name a few.

Curry may not have even been the worst Eddie the Knicks ever had… remember Eddie Lee Wilkens?
