Eddy Curry has been working extremely hard, and it seems like he has lost at least 50 pounds since his fattest days last season. It is curious that he hadn't been working hard or trying to stay in shape before now, but props for figuring it out eventually. This is a very exciting development, opening up the possibility for Curry to be a contributor, or even become tradeable.
I remember one game at the Garden, Curry was on fire early and scored 24 points in the first quarter! He didn't score much after that but the memory of that utter dominance leaves me hopeful that he will end up doing some positive things this year. The announcers in Fifa 10 say "Form is temporary, but class is forever" and hopefully Curry's past 2 years of dreadful form are over, and his class as a dominant offensive center will return. If Curry actually comes back and is better than ever, it will be very interesting to see what Coach D'Antoni does. Will he alter his philosophy which obviously is not working right now with this team, and utilize the dominant low post scorer by giving him isolations on the low block, or will he try to mold Curry into an Amare like pick and roll beast? Either way Knicks fans, we should be super pumped just for the fact that Eddy is no longer asking his chauffers to touch it, and no longer looks like this:
