your post typifies everything sugar is talking about. senseless bashing and overexaggeration..
well I guess you examined curry, because a host of doctors didn't find the heart problem, but keep on, why don't you add that he had herpes, a brain tumor and asthma.....
Why do you think the Bulls wanted him to take a DNA test? Just for the hell of it? Why did Eddy Curry miss the end of the 2004 season and the entire playoffs? Just for the hell of it? Yeah an irregular heartbeat when your mother died of a heart-attack is just something that we shift to the side and not worry about. This heart problem was enough for the Bulls to require a DNA test, that is unheard of in professional sports.
Outside of yao ming, how many players that guarded him has outplayed him. curry scored 20+ points the past 5 games, so i guess he isn't the only one not playing defense, right?
This is a horrible argument. We all know that Curry is a good offensive player and other centers that have guarded Eddy have had trouble stopping him but THEY play help defense, rebound and block shots.
So using your argument lets take a look at the other centers rebounding and defense during Eddys 5 game streak.
12/1 Pistons- Mohammed 8pts, 2rebs 0blocks 0 TO
McDyess 7pts, 9 rebs 0 blocks 1 TO COMBINED 12FGA
Curry 21pts, 5 rebs 0 blocks, 3 TO 15FGA
11/29 Cavaliers- Ilgauskas 12pts, 12rebs 3blocks 1steal 1TO 9FGA
Curry 20pts, 5 rebs 0 blocks, 1steal, 3 TO 12 FGA
11/28 Bulls- Wallace 8pts, 12reb 2blocks 2steals 3TO 6FGA
Curry 24pts, 8 rebs 0 blocks, 4 TO 15 FGA
11/25 Bulls- Wallace 5pts, 6reb 1block, 1 TO 3FGA
Curry 24pts, 6reb 1 block, 4 TO 16FA
11/24 Celtics- No Celtic had a good game against Curry
Curry 24pts, 10rebs, 0 blocks, 3 TO
These guys help their teams by playing defense as evident by the blocks and rebounds that I showed. Curry doesn't come close, he played Ben Wallace well one game, that was nice. Wallace, Ilgauskus and the Celtics centers aren't bigtime offensive players and play good team-oriented help defense as well as rebound and block shots. Curry scores points but gives them right back up on the defensive end. Turnovers is also a important stat because it shows how tough you are playing your man, if your making him work or not. Curry had more turnovers in every single game. So really Curry only showed true dominance against the Celtics.
Is that why paxon tried to keep him, even agreed to pay him if he just took agreed to take a DNA test? yea they really kicked him to the curb.. You can't be serious with this post..
The Bulls had every chance in the world to resign Eddy and if they really wanted him they would have kept him even though he didn't take a DNA Test. At the age of 22, how many teams do you see giving up on 6'11 centers in this league? At 22 years old, the Bulls let Curry walk, in return for draft picks and garbage contracts. The Bulls CLEARLY did not want Curry back.
