its on espn2, at 6:30-7:30pm. should be pretty interesting. i dont know if he'll be there or not but they will discus him and the situation around him with the dna testing and what he'll bring to the ny knicks. should be interesting to watch. sry if this was already posted.

Someone please watch careful and give us a recap!!!! I can't be home at that time!!!!

Don't worry, I'm watching it and I'll give everybody a very fair and unbiased account.

oh another thing i forgot to write about is that my friends brother has a different heart disease and he suffers from the same symptom as eddy curry (blackouts, fatigue, dizziness at times, etc). even if eddy curry is cleared for cardio myopic arrythmia, it could still be another heart ailment that could kill him instead.

the agent of reggie lewis was a supporter of hte genetic testing. he said reggie lewis had all the tests just like curry did and not the dna test and they cleared him and gave him the green light to play, but he died anyway. pretty scary stuff if you ask me. there's definite reason to be concerned if your eddy curry.

Yeah, I thought that part stood out as well. He said Reggie Lewis was cleared to play by the chief of cardiology of a hospital in Boston and affiliated with the Harvard Medical School said that Lewis' heart was fine and there was nothing wrong with his heart.

I really don't know how anybody could think that Curry's health isn't any more questionable than anybody else's on the team.

everything I've read before this says Lewis was NOT cleared to play?

exactly, I never read anywhere, where it said Lewis was cleared to play...

well another way you can see it is that these symptoms whatever they are a consequence of are coming from over exursion and strenuous excercise. i dont think curry will be getting over 30 mins a game, so i dont know, could that possibly reduce the chances of these symptoms, since he wont be playing starter minutes? my guess is that he wont because lee, frye,malik, and davis are all more of larry's type of guys than him. who knows though, he could have issues during practice

this also brings me back to the draft hedge. if eddie isnt what they thought they would be getting physically--if he doesnt play 30+ minutes and play well--the knicks stink and sit in the lottery the next two years, the chicago bulls OWN the NY Knicks draft the next two years even if its greg oden and josh mcrobrts the bulls get them

I dont think our success is that dependant on eddy curry, Even if he plays little to no better than he's played in preseason we should still be significantly better than we were last season with davis, frye, butler, and JJ. as for the heart issues,

I've always believed that curry had secretly had the test and didnt tell the bulls, what intelligent person wouldnt want to be sure that they dont have a fatal heart condition, even if he didnt want to take it Im sure his family would urge him to do so, also now that his career doesnt depend on it why not take it now?

anyway Reggie Lewis was cleared to play by 1 guy, the "dream team" of doctors that originally looked at him said he had the fatal disease, eddy curry has been cleared to play by all the doctors hes been to only 1 said he should take the test just to be sure, (the opposite of what happend to lewis) also lewis lied about not taking drugs information that probably would have led even the 1 doctor that cleared him to play to realize he was wrong.

From that perspective Im not worried about eddy, however I still believe that he should take the test idependantly to be sure, more than once and by different doctors if neccasry.

I dont however believe that the bulls had the right to force to take the test becuase in all likelyhood he doesnt have the disease, and its eddie's life not the bull's, therfore it should be his desicion, if eddie did die his contract would come of the bulls' books and theyd get an exception to sign another player, it would be a much bigger loss to eddie(so to speak) and his family than it would be to the bulls. also it wouldnt have been as morally irresponsible as paxson made it seem to let eddie without the test because 1. the test isnt even foolproof, and 2. it was eddie's desison not to take it not paxson's. paxson isnt eddie's father and is therefore not responsible to force eddie make responsible decisons. It is for these reasons that I beleive that paxson was simply trying to get eddie to play for less, just as the old guy on the SAS show said.

we gave up SO much, we risked so MUCH to get Curry, he better be a 30+ minute player and YES absolutely he is critical to our success. if this is botched, if the 100mm$ we gave to Curry and ft arse James goes to the shtter, we are SCREWED

Sorry but just 2 months ago you said our whole season depended on Channing Frye.

I never said the word season, I mean in terms of MULTIPLE years. Now that we have given away the house for Curry--we have no hedge to compensate for failure

a couple things... please please please stop mentioning Reggie Lews and Curry together. Reggie was not cleared to play. He got a 2nd opinion. He was not cleared to play. He got a 3rd opinion. He was told he could play. He died.

Lets say it all together now...

Every doctor that examined Eddie Curry cleared him to play.

One more time class...

Every doctor that examined Eddie Curry cleared him to play.

I got that this summer playing baseball when it was 100 degrees outside. Hell I get that when Aunt Flow visits us every montth and Mrs. Fish says hands off.

I'm sick of Curry debates, unless we are talking about his rebounding and defense and how long its going to take him to learn what those are.
