You can tell who and who is not married. If my wife and I plan a week vacation and my boss calls me up and asks me to work that week....now way do I cancel and make it up by taking her up to dinner. A freaken dinner Bonn?

Family then work...and it doesn't matter how much money you are making. If it does, you better re-evaluate.

A dinner? No. But Bonn offered dinner and sex, I beleve.

But seriously, obviously you make up with something at least equivalent, or better. He's getting paid a lot of money and he has responsibilities to both family and team. Not just one or the other.

This is an interesting take. Watching the game last night Aguirre seemed to be raving about Curry.

He's just setting his priorities following our awesome cracked out leader in Marbury, you know the guy that was selling shoes a couple hours before a game last yr not showing up to the shoot-arounds and pre-game warmups.



EY's "BETTER HO" is more important obviously.

Do you seriously take shots at Marbury ever chance you get?

Well, it's not like he's lying. We have players that have basketball way lower than it should be on the priority list... and that's the #1 reason why we will never win a chamiponship with those guys on the roster. Guess the truth hurts.

Alright but what does this article have to do with Marbury? I thought this was a Curry article........about Curry. Back to Eddy, he plays 9 months a year and he cannot take a 1 week vacation with his family who he cannot see as much as he wants to from October to April cause of work. Family comes first.

Did you skip certain parts of last yr? Bundury was on his crusade right up the the last hour before a game selling shoes. If you're a teammate of his considering how volatile last season was couldn't that alter how you view basketball compared to your personal life? Then when you add the captain on the team has stated "BASKETBALL IS JUST A HOBBY" and "BASKETBALL IS JUST A PLATFORM FOR HIM TO DO OTHER THINGS" what leadership affect do you think statements like these produce?

Exactly. I wasn't saying to never go on the vacation by any means. The girlfriends I've had (at least the ones I enjoyed being with) have always wanted me to succeed at what I do. They'd want me to go to the training camp and probably feel guilty if I didn't go so I could celebrate with them something I could have celebrated a few days later.

Each year for the Knicks Eddy has shown up fat, and its hurt his game. Each year for the Bulls Eddy showed up fat. The one exception was his contract year, which was his best. However he took so many diet pills that the heart side effects ended his season.

Lets see how Eddy shows up. When he's fat like he usually is and slothlike when he's doing anything besides dunking from point blank then we can look at all things he doesnt do, like attend off season workouts.

He full fills his responsibilty to the team. This isnt an official camp. They cant have an official camp based on the CBA. So far Zach and Malik have been there for 1 full day. We dont even know if they worked out.

Like I said Solace, the amount of money you get paid should not make a difference. Family is #1 then work.

the purpose of this piece was to start trouble. that's fine, berman is just doing his job.

so how should fans react? should they dismiss it as junk? should they take it as gospel? who cares.

but we know curry's history and his work ethic/drive questions. so this is not going to alleviate any concerns from fans that already have their doubts whether there's any validity or importance to him not being there or not.

When has Aguirre not raved about Curry? He raved about him last year and he came into camp out of shape as well. I'm just sayin...

A girlfriend is not a wife. Not even close. Thats the difference between a puddle and a beach.

Basketball training camp? Thats a funny one.

Berman is Berman. His motives and honesty are always in question.

I'm just surprised more people dont call him out on his obvious biased reporting in terms of Marbury.Its pretty clear they have each other on Speed dial and that Berman does whatever he can to help him.

Simply put, other than possibly Isiah, Curry has no rolemodels to look up to on the team. Marbury sets a terrible example, and it's not shocking when it appears Curry is following that terrible example.

Terrible example, the man is on vacation with his family. He plays basketball 8-9 months a year. This is not like it's mandatory, Let the man live.

As a fan, I am ok with Bermans piece. Eddies "Camp" should just no comment on the situation and say he is excited about "Zeddy" and there is plenty of opportunity to work and build chemistry.

THere are plenty of very high paid professionals whom make sacrifices on vacations as its part of the job. I think going forward this Las Vegas jucket thing for vets to hang in the offseason and do some light mid summer work is a good thing and perhaps should be encouraged early so that players can make it and build some unity.

If Eddy is going to the lake with his wife, thats one thing, if they take an annual big trip that involves lots of planning and/or other family members then you just go. I travel alot and its a bitch to make changes.

Regarding Marburys brain coming up small, its baffling that Thomas has put so much into him regarding his role as being the team leader. This guy has a brain made of jelly and only money makes him relevant outside the game. There were so many quotes on that interview that give insight to his views its hysterical. The one about him not able to teach the children himself was priceless.

THe fact he would not talk about how the team will do this year was interesting. But they will try to "steal" the shiney stuff! In the game of life he has won, but the game of basketball he is just like the Mavs!

Hes a nice playful dude though. Nothing like the scowel towel guy we see so often.

"Eddys camp" equals Bermans imagination. Since when does Eddy have a camp? Eddy speaks for Eddy and he probably avoids Berman like the plague hench Bermans hatchet jobs.
Curry is one of the nicest guys around. He is friends with Zach. Odds are Curry had nothing to do with that statement and more likely is Berman just made it up like 1000's of other lines in the NY Post. Larry Brooks does the made up nameless quote thing all the time as well.

Hehehehe, you don't have a clue man

It doesn't matter if the bulk of you and us are fat guys talking stuff on an Knicks fan site all day on the hour Ad Nauseum with the same repetitive responses.......or that the bulk of us aren't doing our job at work (now there's commitment for you) because we're posting hundreds and hundreds of times about a flippin Basketball team. It doesn't matter because.....we supposedly have a life.

He went with his wife or he didn't. It doesn't matter if it's true or not...because as long as he performs on the court to championship expectations....it won't matter that he hung out with his wife on that special day (sounds corny to those that aren't married.....and smart to those that do).

So, on that note I leave you all with this.....Get back to work you Bastards!
