Eddy Curry - 2001 NBA Draft

[tixdismiss84]

i bet u charles is laughing at him now

[IamGabrielTorres]

Welcome to Miami.

[Mississauga905Boy]

i dont think he can be called a bust. he played at an allstar level beore getting hurt yea , he diddnt pan out but anyone who or even ONE SEASON can be conciderd one of the best at his postion shouldent be called a bust. there has been much worse. not making exuses for him but look at it like this. would u take a few good "some may say allstar caliber years from curry" or lifetime of fail from darko, or olowokandi or w/e or sam bowie.

[Munger88]

@Mississauga905Boy He was once a very good and talented player, but then got lazy and fat.

[xxeviltwinkyxx1]

man eddy curry was good starting out but he got fat and lazy and injured

[qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq316]

LMAAAOOO Eddy Curry is the last person to talk about conditioning

[najeenixonnixon]

This guy was betta suited at Power forward. He wasn't a Center. I dont know why the Bulls played Tyson Chandler at Power forward when they were both on the team. Curry could've probably been a good back-up in the NBA if he stayed in shape more. Afterall, a lot of teams need big men these days. But theres one thing that he did have; a jump shot. Its just too bad he wasn't a good rebounda.

[yungfo23]

Charles Barkley is in a better condition now than Eddy Curry lmao

[Jspang16]

the bulls mine of well just drafted a washing machine.

Thats how useful Eddy Curry was lol

[e3erockstar08]

@Jspang16 Good grief...now thats what the hell I call a good comment. GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!!!

[dapper892]

Played against him in high school. He got slowed down by a few teams in the state tournament and he was dominant but, mostly due to his size. I didn't think he was a can't miss like James would be a few years later. Still very tough to imagine him flopping this bad. He was followed almost as much as anyone except Lebron when he was a senior.

[THEJustinSimmons]

@dj23ordan haha. nice rebuttal.

[THEJustinSimmons]

@dj23ordan wow. im not even a bulls fan and i think youre a dumbass for that statement.

[GSingCSHS0950]

"A very safe pick" - Charles Barkley (I think he said it lol)

[MrDownwitthesouth]

@GSingCSHS0950 Kenny Smith said it.

[vanjo6187]

this season most valuable expiring contract

[jd55192]

He couldn't handle the pressure of playing in his home-town. Derrick Rose, on the other hand. . .

[Lorenshyne]

I never seen another this dominant center in high school as Eddy Curry back in Thornwood. South Holland and Chicago was going crazie, he was the new Shaq. HE AND Tyson were supposed to take da Bulls to the Finals in like 4 years.

I hope he rejuvenates his career, hes been through some shit he must get his acts together. Cmon Curry be an All Star.

[SpydaMonster]

@Lorenshyne yeah, dude. eddy and tyson surrounded by hinrich, gordon, and deng on the perimiter. i'm not a bulls, but it's sad to see that experiment failed.

[NickGarof]

wheres the kwame brown draft video?

[SenseofHumorTard]

He's been through a lot of food but also a lot of heartache.

[mrxlusive]

 He s a Bad Rebounder career 5.4 rpg

[patface]

BUST, FAT, LAZY.

[animetrix90]

WHO CARES WE GOT DERRICK ROSE SOMEHOW lol

[mikeey321]

smh shoot him

[royalfrenchfrie24]

MVP

[xxgotjollibee1211xx]

only highlight of his career

[MrJojopeligrino]

jarried jeffries over eddy curry, chris duhon over stephon marbury knicks will never i swear if the knicks would've never washed up eddy curry...he would've been better den stoudemire ....know something b4 u talk shit

[bough1995]

number 1 was kwame brown!!!

[z4ng3tsu1ch1g0]

Fatass Bust

[Imran500]

This guy sucks more than Kwame Brown.

[THEJustinSimmons]

@Imran500 <---IF ANYONE IS ANYWHERE NEAR HIM PLEASE KILL HIM FOR ME. "worse than kwame brown" -_____- ....ignorance at its peak dude, you disgust me

[rmathew2]

@THEJustinSimmons You took it a bit far but I agree with your point. Eddy has mad skills but spends too long in the buffet line. Kwame Brown has no skills but keeps himself in good shape for whatever its worth

[THEJustinSimmons]

@rmathew2 yeah but, dude, is shaq in good shape? ok eddy really did need to lose weight but his main problem was the enlarged heart which kept him from playing the last few seasons. the only thing wrong with kwame is that he didnt ever recognize his potential.

[rmathew2]

@THEJustinSimmons Thats a good point about Shaq, but when Shaq was 27 he was in much better shape than Eddy is now. I wonder how bad it is or is his conditioning exaggerated by D'Antoni, like does he run the length of the court and gas out.

[THEJustinSimmons]

@rmathew2 i wish i knew. no one will provide any updates except for that he might as well just quit basketball so that his career point average is still double digits.

[rmathew2]

@THEJustinSimmons yeah, but he is still pretty young, 31-33 seems to be the age where your skills decline, Vince and T-Mac remind me of guys in that age range who are a fraction of who they used to be.

[THEJustinSimmons]

@rmathew2 true. hes only 28 this year. if he can get himself back in shape, he could be a great starter for new york. they still need him. Mozgov is total trash as a starter.

[TMGPREZ]

@Imran500 curry actually had a season were he had a double double and had flashes kwam brown miss dunks more then he made them lmao but both badbut kwame brown is the worst for second round let alone a 1st pick

[THEJustinSimmons]

@TMGPREZ actually eddy curry never had a double double season. i wish he did though :/

[mattdrummer34]

@Imran500 ha dude his fat ass would still kill kwame. Kwame has 0 post moves, small hands, and no basketball IQ.

[lolocedricarmani]

lol look what he says at 0:22

"a very safe pick"

[neverbackdown1983]

it's funny how back then he was making fun of Charles Barkley's conditioning but now he's a lardo on the Knicks' bench who can't run in Mike D'Antoni's system.

[statusmvp01]

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST

[satdaacmys]

well he did average 17 one season

[ohthatsportsguy]

@statusmvp01 ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? everyone who put a thumbs up to that comment and you are an idiot for that statement...eddy is arguably in the top 10 players out of that that draft...it was a horrible draft class to begin with

[statusmvp01]

@ohthatsportsguy eddy curry is not the top 10 of anything u "idiot".....

[ohthatsportsguy]

@statusmvp01 do you even know what a bust is kid?

[statusmvp01]

@ohthatsportsguy a bust is eddy curry....and guys like you who is actually defending his career.....ur funny kid!!!!

[ohthatsportsguy]

@statusmvp01 oh im sorry i didnt know that 13.3 points and 6 rebounds over a (so far) 8 year career(in which he spent 2 seasons sidelined with an injury) was a bust....but i shouldnt be arguing with you anyway..you probably dont even know what team he plays for...hahhaa

[MultiReK]

@statusmvp01 Have you ever seen Eddy play, he ain't no bust. The media and D'Antoni just screwed him up. Especailly D'Antoni!

[DPB54]

@statusmvp01 he would dunk on your ass LOL

[statusmvp01]

@DPB54 LOL LOL LOL LOL but clearly not on anyone in the NBA LOL LOL LOL LOL

[DPB54]

@statusmvp01 true...unnecessary amount of lol's tho

[HermesPastelle]

damn 4th pick in the 1st round!?

geez

[lachon91]

eddy curry was a flop like almost all players from 01 draft was expected to rule the nba and didnt do shit! smh kwame brown has to be the biggest disappointmnt in nba history

[subsaresogay]

the draft was way better when tnt did it.

[johncenafan07]

lol at 1:09...Eddy Curry can't talk about somebody else's conditioning now lol

[JZ2001JC]

Curry being taken under Elton Brand's guidance as the Bulls from 2001-on would have a dominant/unstopable post game tandem....OH WAIT the morons in Buls Management traded Brand away for some scrub named Tyson Chandler. And Chandler is only getting recognition in New Olreans now because he plays with Chris Paul and David West, and those two guys draw people away from Chandler giving the 7'2 athletic big man Rebounding chances and easy layups.

[XxbloodmoneyxX08]

i agree. brand helped guide kaman on the clippers and would have helped curry as well. curry wouldn't be the fat, useless peace of meat he is right now.

[LifeFirst]

Look at Brand and Eddy Curry now....where are they?

Just underachievers

[JZ2001JC]

Uhm, Curry yes. Brand has not underachieved. What can you do when you get injured? GO watch your sucky boy Tyson Chandler.

[LifeFirst]

And what the fuck did Brand do when he was healthy huh??

Led the Clippers to the playoffs all those years right??

Go watch your sucky-ass clippers in the lotto every year.

[JZ2001JC]

Im not a Clippers fan you jabroni. Brand has NEVER been on a team with talent, and the fact he lead any CLipper team to the playoffs is great. Would your boy Tyson Cheatler do that---NOPE. BRAND WAS ROOKIE OF THE YR in 1999-00 and Rookie game MVP in 2000. He also won Player of the month numerous times, especially in 2005-06 and single-handily led the sorry Clippers one game away from WEST FINALS. GO watch Cheatler and Curry if you dislike Brand so much.

[heyyy19]

How many playoff games has Elton Brand won? And, how many times has he been injured?

[JZ2001JC]

Are you seriously saying Tyson Chandler is better than Elton Brand????? LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, You idiot. First of all TEAMS win playoff games. I mean Grant Hill has NEVER gotten past the first RD yet Luke Ridenour has--so is Luke Ridenour better career-wise than Hill. Besides Brand CARRIED a medoicre Clippers team in 05-06 to one game away from the WEST FINALS. Chandler rode the coat tails to one game away from WEST FINALS. Seriously get a clue.

[heyyy19]

My point wasn't that Tyson Chandler was better than Elton Brand, it was that Elton Brand wasn't that big of a loss. Remember, Elton Brand played with the Bulls for a couple of years and they were dismal, so Jerry K. took a chance on Tyson C. who, at the time, was thought to have a higher ceiling than Brand. It didn't pan out, but hindsight is 20/20. You're flipping like he traded MJ. Btw, calm down and take a deep breath, freak.

[JZ2001JC]

Yes Krause is a moron to think a worthless peice of garbage is better than a star like Brand. And the Bulls were dismal Brand;s first two yrs because he had NO TEAMMATES around him. Brand put up 20/10 eac of his first two seasons---WON Rookie of the YR (technically himself because Steve Francis getting a share is a joke) and he was Rookie all-star game MVP. Did Chandler do that stuff----checkmate. Brand still on Bulls=get better talent and Title contendors (if Brand is healthy).

[lachon91]

wow cuz hs been gettin injured since 08 season? u make like hes fuckin tmac and has had injuries damn near his whole career..and whn brand is healthy hes a dominant player..go take this bullshit comment and stick it up ur ass!!
