--------
In this clip, Eddy Curry talked about some of the earlier days in his career before running into cardiac problems. Eddy described the situation as a stressful one as his career hung in the balance. He recalled the NBA offering him $400K annually for 50 years if he took a DNA test that showed he was more likely to develop heart problems. However, Eddy explained how his agent at the time showed him the negative precedent he would be setting for future Black players.

My family and I were on a trip to Ohio from Chicago and we met Eddy Curry in a random town in Indiana filling up for gas. Dude was driving a dodge magnum station wagon, he didn’t have any jewelry or nothing on and I remember thinking this dude doesn’t carry himself like he’s rich. Probably why he’s decent to this day. Humble dude and was willing to talk to me and my siblings.
He went broke
Station wagon?
I saw him at River Oaks Mall right after he was drafted. I remember kind of sizing him up, I came a little past his elbow.
My younger brother used to work at Carson's at the mall and saw Derrick Rose on lunch break shopping in one of the jewelry stores by himself shortly before he was drafted. He said he was walking by, looked over at him and did a quick doubletake thinking "WTF, is that Derrick Rose?". He said they made eye contact and Rose just flashed a big cheesy smile at him 😆😆

If he hadn’t caught that life insurance thing he’d be dead by now. That’s f’d up. You can’t trust anybody
Exactly, and that's the deep part of that story
I’m glad his accountant caught it before getting it processed.
🎯🎯 with friends like those who needs enemies
Might have been the case. But even if not, that guy being an assistant could have been somebody who grew up with. And many athletes get taken by the share the ride thinking.
@@jackmckool1570 🤣😂😅 right
He got more medical attention in a week then most people can afford to get in a lifetime . They’ll keep them NBA players alive, if u poor, with no insurance, forget about it!
Duh
Profits over people
Hater
What kind of perspective is this?
Join the military if you are worried about healthcare, I have had more treatment than most people could have ever thought about..
This guy is a Good Speaker & a Thinker. Salute!
Why when a black man can articulate himself he's a good speaker.But when any other race of men do the same it's never brought up.Lame ass people.
This is a stupid comment. Of course he can speak and think. Fuckn idiot
this dude actually played decent his first years.. that legendary bulls line up ill never forget. Hinrich, Gordon, Dunleavy, Chandler, Curry.
Dunleavy was not on that team....
Yea I wouldn’t say he was bad bro was just out of shape😂
@@hollap2798 he thinking about the 2011 bulls 😭😭😭

Smh Mike Dun-nothing was not on the Bulls back then
We call these athletes "bust" so much that we forget to learn their personalities... Great interview.
I wouldn’t call Eddy a bust. He had seasons where he averaged 15 and 6, 16 and 5, 19 and 7
We don't care about their personalities... We just want them to perform well and win games.
@@c-mobucks4930 there not fucking robots you 🤡
Man. To be honest I forgot about that.
So a bust with a personality?
400k a year for 50 years is 20 million in total bruh!! NBA is literally Never Broke Again💯
I damn near forgot the bobcats were a thing🤣

Props to him for sticking to his principles and refusing the DNA test. Talk about putting others ahead of yourself. Crazy respect for this guy.
What principles? They asked him to take it for health reasons. They probably wanted to prevent another Reggie Lewis or Hank gathers tragedy.
@@oneday5572 you operate under the presumption that they would never use that data for unscrupulous reasons or sell it all together. Professional sports (especially the NBA) are very greasy to say the least.
@@seabrook1976 You realize you can get a DNA sample from excessive sweating right? If they wanted to be sneaky, all they needed to do was swipe his dirty uniform. Gaurenteed to find hair and skin particles. The pen he used to sign his contract had his fingerprints on it- DNA. Like do you see how easy it is for them to get access to his DNA? At least they asked AND a offered him a nice payout.
He should of left his friend on the life insurance plan but for him to only get 1 dollar and it had to be a check handed to him.😂
@@oneday5572 the payout was bullshit it was the money they owed him anyway.
"Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, something like that" something like that? you said the whole thing already 😂
Heart murmurs are very hard to detect. In many cases, they go away as soon as you schedule a procedure, preventing the fix. It's devastating to an athlete who can't play until the event happens again so it can be fixed.
No they're not. All you need is training and a stethoscope.
@@ctj111 did you even listen to the upload? Of course it's simple, simple isn't easy.
How bad a human being can you be !!?? Putting your name on someone else life insurance ??? Thats crazy
Ikr like wtf bruh🤦🏾♂️
Right how did he possibly think that he'd get away with that?
Family && friends do crazy shit for money .
Sad world .
Smfh
He might of gotten murdered so his friend can cash in on the life insurance if the friend never got caught…
It sound like eddy didn’t even adjust it either lol real one
That irregular heartbeat went away as they were prepping him. The body tightened up quick but good to see Eddy 💪🏾
Its crazy the body will do that. I have a swollen lymph note or whatever in my armpit for years and the day before surgery to get it removed it went down.
BVLLE My friend they are not real, Basically anyone who took the VACCINE is now a BOT for the CIA/ GOVERNMENT/ ELITES, they have these people patrol the streets harassing citizens who didn’t take the VACCINE, such as creating many micro aggressions, they Try to get you to SPAZZ OUT, loose your FREEDOM they always have perfect looking minority groups, a gay black male, handsome Spanish dude, mid level attractive white guy. It might sound far fetched but listen to a couple of my points, basically the VAXX made the human body some sort of conduit/CANVAS for a DEMON/UNCLEAN SPIRIT. The DEVIL has all the HOST’S memories. It’s a SLOW TAKE OVER, but my assumption 2-3 months after second dose your as good as GONE. The only downside for the DEVIL is he looses the ORIGINAL PERSONS MEMORIES SLOWLY. But by year 2 -3 THEIR DONE , before then he tries to convince THE HOST’S FAMILY to get VAXXED ANY CLOSE FRIENDS GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND- with a lot of manipulation . ONCE The whole family gets VAXXED. “THEY” OFFER the remaining DEMONS , THE ONES WHO HOST BODY DIDNT DIE INSTANTLY FROM THE JAB immediate DEATH or continue converting other people, ganging up on friends, if you think about almost every parent who got VAXXED also VAXXED their KIDS. Wherever there is a HIGHER VAXX RATE the situation will be worse. For example I am in TORONTO CANADA my CITYS rate Is 94 %.😭😭 THEY PUSH THE BUTTON DROP YOU , CALL the 100 percent VAXXED PARAMEDICS, THEN they take you to the 100 percent VAXXED HOSPITAL, get your organs, throw the rest out. (OR FEED EM TO REPTILLIANS), THEN their only job is keeping the lights on in your house, IN CITYS LIKE TORONTO AND New York WHERE PEOPLE ARENT FRIENDLY AND MOVE OUT EVERY YEAR, ITS EASIER BECAUSE PEOPLE DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBIOR. EVEN FOR ME ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP TRACK OF EVERYBODY MOVING IN AND OUT. IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE ITS ALL RENTERS YOUR FOOKED . Right now theirs some family where their might be 1 or 2 PEOPLE who won’t get the VAXX but then they run the risk of having them discover the DEVIL in THE HUMAN BODY dosent have the memories of your family member. THEN they do that SADS nonsense AND give you a death from COVID, unfortunately their were too many “BUTTON NON HOSPITAL COVID DEATHS” So now they can’t DROP YOU VIA THE REMOTE AS MUCH, So they send out their BOTS to HARASS AND STALK AGITATE YOU. PUT YOUR THINKING CAP ON BOYZ Canada is 33 MILLION people if the VAXX rate is 94 percent they have over 30 MILLION BOTS, 😭😔 THEY ARE getting worse at FAKING. Oh yea this might sound crazy but them getting a DEMONIC looking TATTO such as a PYRAMID or EGYPTIAN STUFF ECT gives them a bit more control and power so the host body can last longer, ITS LIKE THEY DRAW RUNES OR SPELLS ON THEMSELVES. That’s why your seeing Buisness Professionals getting TATTED at all time highs. THIS IS how they FAKE/ENLARGEN the PRIDE PARADES, The MOVIES- . THE COVID LINES , I didn’t believe the COVID LINES at first but once I SAW THEM WITH MY OWN EYES I had toO ACCEPT IT PEOPLE ARE STUPID, I couldn’t lie about what I seen, But these guys are getting SLOPPY they are running out of people and they cant keep DROPPING everybody, ALSO they really put themselves in pickle at the places where there is 100 VAXX rate the HOST body can’t last more than 2-3 YEARS and by the 1 YEAR mark depending how strong the host is, and it has nothing to do with PHYSICAL STRENGTH from what I can tell. EVENTUALY they gotta get all those TATTOS A lot of THOSE THINGS are hiding them, and that’s why you see younger teens with SLEEVE TATOOS right now lmao. Just look at wherever there is 100 VAXX RATE/ such as your GYM, GOVERNMENT OFFICE thats why it was MANDATORY VAXX with THE PARAMEDICS, THE POLICE THE FIREMEN, (ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT) THE SCHOOLS /UNI THEY RUN the BASIC FOUNDATIONS OF EVERY FUNCTIONING SOCIETY, THATS why THEY tried SO HARD TO GET THE TRUCKERS, cause then they could CONTROL TRANSPORT AND CAUSE EVEN MORE SHORTAGES, I was curios why the people who got VAXXED still kept wearing masks and all the other mumbo jumbo but it didnt make me loose sleep can’t lie 😂😂😂 but it makes sense now, its actually a DISGUSTING thing the GOVERNMENT did. they even brought in illegal IMMGRANTS TRICKED THEM or didn’t tell them the whole story, and paid them to stand in line obviously using a diff name then gave them citizenship vaxxed him and that’s it another BOT IN THE FUTURE ARMY. ,that’s why a lot of RAPPERS SINGERS AND COMEDIANS got VAXXED NO SHOW MONEY OR TOUR MONEY WITHOUT FANS. (SOME KNEW) Plus for the first year the demon has like 100 percent of memories so he can play like everything is Normal and your like well he’s still good HIS NUTS WORK AND IM LOSING MONEY From not being VAXXED that’s HOW THEY GET YOU, only the very TOP ELITES know what it ACTUALLY IS. prepare for WAR I wish I lived in the UNITED states with guns I’m more than likely FOOKED but hey there’s still THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND ISRAEL RIGHT ?? THEIR PLAYING WITH PEOPLE PASSPORTS IN CANADA, LOOK UP MONTREAL PASSPORT OFFICE, I KNOW I’m on the list ANY GOVERNMENT SERVICE I need now gets delayed but 4_6 weeks, THEY RANDOMLY HANG UP MY CALLS DONT FOLLOW THROUGH LOSE DOCUMENTS ECT. also once the FULLY VAXXED STAFF DIE they rotate in others that’s why you see a bunch of NEW people staff at the GYM SERVERS IN FOOD, then you see the other ones leave who KNOWS maybe they really wanna dot their eyes and cross their Ts they do a big going away party put the whole decorations in the front of the gyM or office when you walk in just for show ITS ALL A PHASAHD JUST FOR SHOW it might sound crazy but you’ll notice some patterns go to any major intersection in city and watch outside especially if there is a busy SUBWAY they LOOP over and over agin .

Who ever that insurance agent was, or friend, that questioned him about that new beneficiary, Shout out to him. he probably saved Eddy Curry life. The dude that did that,
dangerous to be around. Also, that bulls deal just totals 20 mill (gross, not net). With expectations that he'd die sooner...Via his Condition. It was meant to benefit the Bulls, and Eddy peeped that. Good job
Think about the dude and the heart and insurance??!
@@sicaaroulie6716 ???????
Yo real talk! I pulled out the calculator cuz of course to us common folks that sounds awesome…and then I’m like 20 mil…that ain’t shit…even in his time for a player. Hell no!! Lol
@@sicaaroulie6716 are you slow?
Eddy definitely had some good people taking care of his finances. The Insurance agent who caught the fraud could've definitely saved his life. The agent who told him not to take that deal got him an extra 30 mil/ he got 50+ mil with the Knicks vs the 20 mil Chicago offered him. Chicago sports teams have always been cheap why they all are terrible
Shoutout to Bobby Bonilla, one of the SMARTEST and BEST contract decisions EVER made.
4th of July
i think allen iverson has a nice contract where he gets a nice lumpsum after number of years or something
Bonilla day coming soon.
That contact helped the Mets on the low as well. They got pieces that helped them to the series the next year and got David Wright
I think the Bonilla contract is nearing its end soon. But yeah he ensure he always had stacks coming in for years.
This is why athletes, mega stars, artists, die young..
The heart cant handle so much pressure, anxiety ,noise and addrenaline.
That makes no sense, like literally none
Ya I can see dat..
First they start off smokin that wacky Tabacky then they start poppin perks next thing you know they show up for the game and they be on heroin and cocaine, and that’s just pre-game, after tha game they be smokin them ‘Jeffries’ and gettin wet..
(Wet? Wha you mean wet?)
P.C.P baby
Chicago bulls actually cared about his health though
Makes sense why he turned it down and they would have absolutely used that against other Black players.
U sound dumb
@ariestiger michael used their health to under pay them or fuck with their career/playing time
I thought they wanted to clone him. A blood test would show specifics and diseases and stuff. But that's true
Im not completely aware of the details to his story but didn't his own family essentially misuse him for his money
@ariestiger michael not being totally upfront with what happened thats why it dont make sense,i think its more about his dna being attached to them kids that might or might not be his, u think atheletes care about players in the future look at the clippers when chris paul was there. The owner called niggas, niggas, and they still went out there and played. If they offered him that, and he still was able to play for a differentbteam and get the money then why not take it
I had this same procedure done to me when I was in 9th grade. The syndrome is called Wolfe Parkinson’s white syndrome and it’s an electrical pathway in the heart. The procedure is they put two Catheters (one on each side) up your groin (right between your testicle and your thigh) and go up to your heart and zap the pathway. Crazy, I never thought I’d hear anyone else had it
That’s what I have and the crazy part is most of us don’t know until our early 20’s because of the feeling of our heart racing or feeling light headed when we’re not even doing any type of physical activity
@TutStore no cap I had the same exact procedure in 8th grade! I had 3 catheters though. Shit crazy. Dag.
Catheter ablation and procainamide is the treatment. He probably had athletes heart which is normal.
@@maxplank1632 I’d bet $1000 it’s WPWS. He stated he felt an extra beat is heartbeat and the doctors found an extra electrical pathway. Trust me.
I had the same procedure to check for clogged arteries and sure enough i has two blockages from high cholesterol. The symptoms were mild chest pains and tingling in arm. Mind you im in army so im in decent shape and conditioning.
Having excellent counsel makes a huge difference
WOW! I have followed Eddy's story from the time he got drafted as "Baby Shaq" Can't wait to hear what went wrong from his perspective.
He gone blame everybody but himself.

@@bodolla 😏😏😏deeezzzz nutzzzz 😆😆😆😆...........sorry I'm immature
I graduated from the Wood in 2010. Coach Bundy told me alot about Curry
I had a point in my late 20's when I would get many extra heart beats and i would tell the doctors, but they always told me that it wasn't nothing serious and that was more than 30 years ago. I started taking stress Vitamins with B's and C and soon those extra heartbeats left on their own, and I have never had any heart problems, or enlarged heart or anything.. I think that stress can cause one to have irregular heart beats like 5+ heartbeats within a coupe minutes and then go right back to normal. Sometimes we cannot allow worries to overcome our thinking. The Chinese doctor reassured me that I was 100% healthy, and that if i didn't stop worrying that I would end up in a mental institution ha ha, so I immediately stopped worrying and that was 35 yrs ago ha ha.. Never any more problems..
Same thing that’s been going on with me. They told me the same I’m in my late 20s
It's very common knowledge that stress raises heart rate along with blood pressure. That's literally why the saying is "stop stressing or you'll have a heart attack"
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
God tells us he already has our entire life mapped out for us, Just be patient and be still an this too shall past. This is one of many scriptures I’m glad I’ve came across and probably helped me more than I know.
Vitamin b and c? Or some vitamins with the first letter b and c
i used to skip a beat followed by a extra beat, quit smoking weed and tobacco, eat better and its totally gone.

Respect to eddy Curry & Leon rose.
Allowing that test wouldve created alot of problems and hindered players from getting their money. Allowing the league to be too invasive
One of the reasons why the bulls couldn’t get free agents, they screwed up the eddy situation and he’s actually from Chicago
Sometimes money doesn't truly full fill your needs. Im from Chicago & I was spoiled by Jordan & Pippen ( 6 rings). Ohhh we were excited when we had the young Bulls ( Tyson, Kirk, Ben & Eddie) . It was literally a well balanced team that was about to make a run... smhh btw the Bulls almost got Kobe LOL
Yea we almost got Kobe in Detroit too. He actually was bout to trade decided last minute he didnt want to.
Kobe wanted to play with them 🥺
Glorious times those 1990's were. Even the struggle in the late 1980's against the Pistons, Celtics and Cavaliers bring back great memories of what hard work/Dedication/Determination/Will Power can do

The enlarged heart is the scary part. The heart murmur is usually not dangerous. I was cleared for being fine. Check with your cardiologist!!!
When I read the title of this video, I was thinking who in their right mind would reject such a deal, but at the end his lawyer was smart not to let him do it
Not really. He had money issues after retiring for various reasons and would have 400k annual income plus pension the rest of his natural life. The agent got a nice chunk too of that money. Hence why he didn't want that deal, as well.

@@blessingstoyou2126 but they offered him 400k per year for 50 years lol
@@flavor8921 that’s literally only a payoff. He couldn’t have known he wouldn’t have been worth that much or more. Always believe in yourself and your self worth, not the dollar amount that others ascribe to you
so you telling me he could’ve had a Bobby Bonilla type of deal and he rejected it ??? 💀💀💀
Similar, but way more intrusive.
I'd be apprehensive about sharing my DNA, imagine having a league filled with Cloned Eddie Curry's lol
Why did dude think he could get away with doing that on his policy.. That's was crazy.
They had fax machines in 2002 lol
🤣he said before fax machines like they were 4g or something, them things been around a long long time.
I think back then it had to be the original copy that was signed. So no fax or electronic signature. At least I hope that’s what he meant when saying there wasn’t fax.
Good to have wise people in your circle.
Salute to him very good interview 👏👏👏
man eddy had some flashes of brilliance on the court...he was a good dude on the Knicks.. class act...so glad he is enjoying life
They were a lottery team and gave away that pick for this guy. What are you talking about?? One of many dumb moves by Isaiah Thomas.
Enjoy hearing the players side of the story. The media always makes you think the worst of them. When really they’re being taken advantage of so the cycle continues unfortunately.
Eddy Curry seems like a cool level headed guy. Appreciate a man wĥo lets life have control without being bitter. God bless his health and his salvation in Jesus mighty name Amen
This is disturbing because wtf I thought exercise was good for your heart?
Cardio is I heard lifting weights etc isn’t ,but In his case he couldn’t exercise cause it’d make his heart race faster & he had an irregular heartbeat
Mine is tough… great old school list except Center.
1. Earvin Magic Johnson
2. Earl Monroe
3. Elgin Baylor
4. Elvin Hayes
5. Elton Brand
Thats crazy because i be having that same extra heartbeat thing happen to me it been happening for years every once in a while
You NEVER KNOW what people go thru.
Vlad Interview “Lenny Cooke” next
Yeaaa!
100
That 400k sounds good but it’s really only 20million before taxes
I’ll do it!!!where are you NBA?!?!?
My heart has been doing that for a while now
Intelligent and articulate. This guy could be fourtune 500.
Yeah but folks tell these guys not to get educated
“Very grateful for the Knicks completely overpaying me like they do for everyone else”
Maybe some would’ve taken the money but I don’t blame him for passing on it.
Yea he's better than me because I would have took the money. It's not like the nba can't implement that type of testing during pre draft scheduled workouts for the rookie players which I'm shocked they haven't because of cases like these.
@@313Martin he lost all his money shortly after retiring. He would've been better off being paid the rest of his life for nothing. Wouldn't have a single story about income the rest of his life and could've negotiate it to go to his children upon death.
the right lawyer/agent MEANS everything --
I was a kid when this happened and i think about his situation every now and again. Like what if he had took the money over the course of 50yrs? Good interview
yeah I mightve took it
@@brettrogers5333 crazy part is bro was gonna get that money regardless minus the interest theyowed somewhere around 5.5 maybe a lil less a lil more over 50 years that’s 110k which they had to pay regardless in the long run they would have made testing for heart disease the normal and we all know blacks are at a higher risk for getting heart disease they would have def downsized them contracts
@@shiestlifesam I get it, I'm just saying how I probably would've been thinking as a youngster
@@brettrogers5333 yea thats how sports thrives when your young you just dont have the foresight to make the best decisions
@@shiestlifesam true story
That 400,000 for 50 years aint too shabby
Excellent interview, Vlad took cues from Prez and learned to just let people talk without telling his own story.. but the part I couldn't stop thinking is how many medical advancements (for lack of better words) that most of us will never have access to, or be financially ruined for life if for some strange reason we do gain access.. I mean most of the life-saving shit is reserved for the ULTRA-RICH, not even your fav rapper can afford it..
Because Magic Johnson was tied to the league, or the ULTRA-RICH, and had his stuff so public, he really made AIDS look like a minor inconvenience.. from the 90s tho! I get that we have treatments today.. but AIDS in the 90s took out some of the best, RIP Freddy Mercury! You have to be connected to the ULTRA-RICH to save your own life these days and hopefully GenZ won't stand for that shit.. smh
How gsypy
I mean that’s just how it is. Like it or not
Magic johnson didn’t have aids don’t be ignorant
Yea but look at Steve Jobs
@@HunnidYearsHunnidTimes never said he did my boy.. communication is key, reading is fundamental.. the point was, he seemed more bothered by losing basketball than the very real possibility of full blown AIDS and the world watching him shrivel up and die! He seemed confident he was standing next to the right people..
.. real simple stuff
I get what he's saying he didn't want to be the person that f up opportunities for a lot of other brothers so he wasn't trying to be selfish for some 💰 knowing that he going to be able to make a lot of 💰 off his next contract anyways respect to Curry
Great insight on how the NBA works. Seems like you get TOP healthcare. Geesh. I wish the rest of America was like that.
I remember watching Eddy Curry and David Lee in Chicago going at each other in HS. Great Times.
Damn i remember being in 12th grade watching the reality show they had on Curry and a few others graduating out of Chicago…. I used to be on the train every weekend from Detroit to Chicago to go see my GF at the time 🤣🤣🤣 2001-2003 memories
Chicago Preps!
I remember will Bynum was on it too
Luther head Jason straight and Sean dockery
Very good interview so far it goes to show just how much stuff goes on behind the scenes that u dont even know that is a very interesting story
That's why these talking heads shows are stupid, they don't know shit more than the average person and just speculate and yell back and forth
Bro his Accountant Saved his Life for Sure
Yup, I recently had a heart catheter procedure. They don’t put you to sleep! Felt the whole thing.
Stay strong
That sound scary af
Real shit....had one last year. You feel it all. They make you sign a release.
