True. But if he would have kept his fat ass in shape, the circumstances probably would have been different. $60Mill. killed his drive, not his Baby mama eventhough she ain't shit.
I'm a lawyer that went to law school in Chicago in 2002. I actually knew the lawyer that killed his baby's mother and the baby. His name is Fredrick Goings. That was a total shock to me. I didn't know Fred was a fucking monster. Fred was not Eddie Curry's lawyer; he represented Curry's baby's mother in a patenity suit against Curry, and later had a sexual relationship with her. He found out that she was pregnant, and that the baby wasn't his, which made him snap.
He was a good low-post scorer (better than Tyson Chandler) but a terrible defender, terrible passer, and weak rebounder for a big man. His lack of defensive stats (steals and blocks) and horrible assist to turnover ratio led to the invention of the infamous "Curry line"
@@realniggashit3 exactly. Bulls fan here and avid watcher of the show Preps. He was never really the "Baby Shaq" that everyone put on him. But definitely skilled as a low post scorer w good footwork and athletic ability for his size. Loved when the Bulls drafted him, did not want to see Brand traded for Chandler but in hindsight that rookie twin towers idea could have worked possibly but it didnt. The video maker def highlighted the worst parts of Curry. I just wish him well in post bball life because all in all he seemed like a good dude. His family def came off good.
He had a very nice fluid post game / moves down low, so ballet explains the footwork and grace on the block at his size. I remember Isiah gave up a few 1st round picks to get him which turned into multiple lottery picks. So there was always that underlying Knicks fan pressure demanding greatness for what was given up. Maybe there was more on IT though. Curry showed glimpses.
Had 4 seasons where he played less than 12 games. So he played 7 seasons. 7 seasons with 13ppg for a 4th overall pick is not what youre looking for as a GM
Remember being introduced to this brother on the show called "Preps". Based on the Chicago High School basketball prep stars. Eddy was on there, as well his teammate, Jay Straight. Duke great Sean Dockery, Crane high school stud Will Bynum. Whitney Young's Luther Head, and LeVar Seals, to name a few. Great show. Didn't realize Eddy was the leading scorer, on that Baby Bulls team. He definitely didn't have as bad as a career, that his perception perceives.
@@Boss2739 right. Jay Straight was his best friend, but didn't actually play for Thornwood. And yes, brother Luther Head definitely went to Manley. I don't know where I got Whitney Young from ☹️. Salaam YG.
I think the Bulls bringing him and Tyson Chandler in together might have stunted his growth as well. Trying to develop one kid fresh out of high school is hard enough. But two? Maybe the Bulls should have kept Elton Brand and tried to play him and Curry together. Maybe some of Brands work ethic would have rubbed off on Curry. Also Ed Cota.
Dude had mad hop. He showed a lot of promise with the Hornets and cashed in big with the Bulls based on potential, but was an epic flop (if I remember correctly, his contract was bought out before it expired and he never played in the NBA again). It's a pity. I thought he and Desmond Mason were gonna be the next T-Mac.
I’m from Chicago we loved eddy curry he grew each year a skill big ass dude..when he finally broke out he had that heart condition I swear my heart was broken man…the bulls hadn’t mad the playoffs since Michael Jordan..eddy was a big reason for the team making the playoffs..
You're right, he wasn't as bad as many of us were led to believe. The Knicks system at that time was an absolute shitshow...hell the Knicks system now is an absolute shitshow. If he was in a system that suited him and his teammates better, he would've been put in a better light, like how Tyson Chandler blossomed with the New Orleans Hornets. Not to mention that RIDICULOUS contract the Knicks (mainly Isiah Thomas) gave Eddy didn't help either because it made him complacent, regardless of the effort he put in he was still getting his money regardless. I can't put it all on his weight because as big as he was, he still had significant games. There were just way too many egos in those late 2000's Knicks teams, it just wasn't conductive of winning.
i honestly thought had Curry stayed in Chicago...those bulls teams with him and Chandler would have been a threat in the East...really good player and last of the big men centers
7th grade?? I don’t believe that I played against EC in aau nationals in Florida when I was in the 8th grade ain’t no way he only had 1 year experience then no way!
Great video, you're right he wasn't as bad as I remembered. You are also right about the NBA's changing style of play. Curry could've been an all-star in the 80s or 90s.
@@charismatic9904 The fact is 7-footers were in high demand in the 80s, most teams had one two or even 3. This is because it was a low post dominated game, I know that's hard to imagine in 2022, but it was so. Many of them were clumsy and weak. The Bulls had Longley, Wennington, Perdue and Cartwright (all 7 foot) in the early 90s. Curry was much better than most of them, so, I'm correct.
@@Chasstful bro I know the NBA because I watched in the 80s and 90s. Fact is curry was SOFTER than toilet paper and the NBA of the 80s and 90s was a mans game. It was tough. Not like todays ultra pussy nba. Curry couldn't hang. He was soft and had no drive.
If you start counting at age 6, learning to be a basketball player, and that's 16 years, then you should count at age 5, when you start learning to be a doctor. That's when your official education begins in school. So, that means it takes 25 to 28 years to become a doctor. I don't know what the point of that is, though. I thought you were gonna say something about him going straight to the NBA right outta high school.
This is my new channel I hope this channel flourish cause this is that content!....let’s get that Ron Mercer Wayne Turner or Jeff Shepherd to represent my Kentucky Wildcats
Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler were the two top high school players in the country their senior year. They faced each other in a game in St Louis. It was the last game of the night and for some reason it started very late. I have forgotten why. The game was so boring and both played so bad that when the half-time buzzer sounded all you saw was this mass exodus of people leaving, lol. I bet over half the stadium left.
I'm a lawyer that went to law school in Chicago in 2002. I actually knew the lawyer that killed his baby's mother and the baby. His name is Fredrick Goings. That was a total shock to me.

More injuries than anything. If he'd have left college after his first or second year.....he would've been a top pick in the draft. The 30for30 explains in detail where he fucked up.

Griffin was an alcoholic. His problem was so serious that the Nets forced him to go to rehab instead of playing with the team. The Timberwolves were more than patient with him and KG tried to mentor him, but he couldn't conquer his demons. He was involved in multiple car crashes due to his drinking. The last one killed him. The Wolves gave up on him that March. He died in August. If he had lived, pretty sure he would've gotten another shot. He was an insanely good shot blocker and could also threes. Talent like him is rare.
Bro I love this channel but it does not take 10 years to become a lawyer. This coming from someone who was IN law school prior to health problems. Haha, but year nice vid... Eddy was really not so bad.
That incident with his baby Mom's and his daughter, would kill any man's drive. 🙏🤲
True. But if he would have kept his fat ass in shape, the circumstances probably would have been different. $60Mill. killed his drive, not his Baby mama eventhough she ain't shit.

The greatest insult ever was when a reporter asked Scott Skilles how Eddy Curry could get more rebounds and he responded Jump
LOL
Remind me of watching a Knicks game thinking dunk that shhh with tenacity instead of being a big man laying it up.
I remember that
No player got more rebounds without trying to get rebounds.
Do Russ Smith from Louisville
That boy was almost an all star with the Knicks.
He was a good low-post scorer (better than Tyson Chandler) but a terrible defender, terrible passer, and weak rebounder for a big man. His lack of defensive stats (steals and blocks) and horrible assist to turnover ratio led to the invention of the infamous "Curry line"
