    He went through some crazy ****. Didn't even know all the rumours, lawsuits, going broke etc. It's kind of sad, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy who got caught up in something he wasn't ready for and took him long to catch up. Very strong and admirable he owns up to everything, his wife even more so. What a powerful woman, to take all of that and stay by the man's side. She's like his angel, literally!

    I for one didn't joke about him.

    He was no Oliver Miller, his game just wasn't up to standard.

    I read this article the other day. If I had an opinion about him before it would’ve completely changed it.

    I always enjoyed watching Eddy’s offensive game. He has been through a lot but sounds like it has given him perspective. I’m rooting fo you big guy!

    Eddy Curry was drafted the same year with Tyson Chandler, Shane Battier, and Eddie Griffin.

    That was probably one of the weirdest draft classes ever in terms of how those players turned out.

    I am not sure if that is true or what TV shows just promote but some athletes do not love sports actually.

    Their parents, high school coaches made decisions for them, pushed them, promising them teh riches.

    Relatives and friends grow dependent on them.

    They just happen to have the bulk and frame to play football or basketball.

    I think that's the best way to phrase it for me too. Like... wow...

    It crushes your faith in humanity and restores it in less than a 15 minute time span.
