I think Curry should dunk the ball a lot more, for example, when he uses the baby hook (which is good), he spins away from the basket, but how about spinning toward the basket and stuffing it in the defender's face. He never dunks anymore besides when he gets nice passes from marbs and he is wide open, he has to throw down on someone because he can defintley do it. I remember a Toronto game when he spun into bosh and stuffed a monster jam home, it was sick

I would just like to see more of it, becuase he can defintley do it (i think hes worried about fouls though)

he just doesn't jump for whatever reason. which is funny because we've seen him leap at the basket, but those were when he had a running start, which is why he's good in pick and rolls, and would be good in transition if he ever ran the floor. i guess he's just not a stand-still jumper, or he's just lazy... it's my opinion that it's a mix of both, because he doesn't jump to contest shots either

Its hurt to dunk when you put on atleast 15 pounds of fat during the season. I like Curry but there is no excusing the fact that he is his own worst enemy. He has to reach a level in his life where he works out on at an intense rate because it appears that his metabolism is very slow. As the season wears on he is becoming more and more fatigue especially now that he is being immmediately double team. Also to complicate matters Curry is VERY foul worry. You can see it in the games. He is foul prone like Shaq which also affects his game. The folly of the big men, picking up cheapies. Some players never overcome that, look at Wilt and it appears even Shaq still has that problem. That usually happen when your center is also your primary scorer. Curry isn't the only one that I noted that has lapses like this, I watched a number of Orlando games and I noticed Howard does the same thing when he is asked to score on post up moves. He almost becomes non-factor in those games. Russell always said the best way to play Wilt is get into his head and let him start to worry about picking up fouls.

I agree that Eddy Curry should get drunk more often.

I've screamed at the t.v set countless time dunk it. It is very frustrating watching him dip the as though a he is 6 feet when he should have a Shaq like dunk.

i just hate it when he beats his man in the lane and is all alone and does a finger roll

what 6-11 250+ man does a finger roll underneath the basket

if u ask me i think he should have his balls cut off next time he does that because he dosent deserve them

90 percents of the shots Eddy took last year was the dunk...The haters here said thats all he could do is dunk...Eddy is fine..He needs to get in better shape and show up on the defensive end...

I think conditioning has a lot to do with it....and the focus on avoiding fouls.

I just think eddy is afraid of those flop artists. Whenever he does turn inside somebody drops like a bad habit. Its sickening, then again if one our boys did that I would love it. It sucks to be the biggest dude on the court. I'm confident curry will continue to get better. He has shown an ability to learn fast.

Still with these fouls. I wonder if that's why he doesn't challenge shots? He doesn't fight for rebounds either. I never saw curry battle anyone for a reb.

I'm still gonna roll with the fact eddy is still figuring out how to play the game. He has never been held accountable for his play until isiah came along. The pressure of anchoring the defense, attacking the glass, and dominating the post. Passing out of the post is hands down a new thing for him.

He is part of this movement towards contending. He doesn't have to be ewing. He does have to be effective and accountable. Hopefully he can continue to get getter.

Or else I will give him the channing shy treatment.

he can't get a good grip because his fingers are slippery from the glazed donuts he eats.
some Knick fans accept mediocrity as excellence .... I don't!

I'd be willing to bet that Eddie is amongst the league leaders in dunks.
I just hope that people will like me
