50 pounds or not Eddy is the only one that can truely and honestly get the Knicks into the playoffs. If the plan is playoffs then the Knicks need Eddy to badly show up and play with heart night in and night out. If he can duplicate his performance from 2007 I honestly think the Knicks will make the playoffs. As fans i hope he shows us all a different side of his game and just takes it to a new level. I'm rooting for Eddy, I don't necessarily want to trade him without seeing how he comes to camp and how he performs in camp.

50 lbs in 2 months is a lot, even for a 300-400 lbs person, especially one with a heart condition. 1-2 lbs per week is safe weight loss which if he really started in May would put him at 15-20 lbs of weight loss. So the 50 number is a little scary, but since he is large it is possible.

I doubt he can sustain it, even if he gets through the season in shape - he has shown a history of not being able to stay in shape. The real troubling part is that even if he does show up to play, his value probably won't rebound much because of his history like one of the quotes mentioned. We will most likely have this guy on our roster until he expires which is a crime considering how little he has played in the past couple seasons.

I lost 30 pounds in 60 days last year when I felt I was way overboard with drinking and quit cold turkey. Changed nothing else. Just stopped drinking.

Went from 190 to 160 in exactly 60 days. Given that it's not hard to fathom that a pro athlete under the watchful eye of trainers could lose 50 pounds off his 350+ pound fram in the same time frame.

I heard SNY ran a piece yesterday about Eddy losing 50 pounds, showed footage of him being slimmer, the problem was that Marbury and QBRick were in the footage I heard. LMFAO at that. Journalism at it's best I suppose.

Congratulations on ceasing your alcohol abuse.

Haha, if that's true, about the footage, then that's pathetic. Curry did not lose 50 frickin' pounds- if he did, they'd have some real footage of it. I'll believe it when I see it.

I appreciate that but of course I went back to drinking. Just not at such an abusive level. Still got work to do.... was just more chiming in on the weight loss. If I could lose 30 pounds in 60 days being just some schmuck who was drinking too much --- it's conceivable a pro athlete under such a guided program could drop 50 pounds in the same time off of nearly twice the frame of mine.

Yes, the footage is true, but the Knicks said Curry wouldn't be in Vegas until Sunday - so - any new footage wouldn't appear until then or later....curious why they HAD to run footage when talking Curry...and show old footage. Who knows.
