Eddy curry's 1st love was to be a chicago gymnast tumbler until he out grew the act. Look how nimble eddy can be on his feet, the problem he's just overweight.
His heart is not into basketball, he plays just to take care of his family because if he could do something else in life and make this kind of money he would.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to becoming considered one of the best high school basketball players in the nation as a senior at Thornwood High School in South Holland, Illinois, Curry aspired to be a gymnast and did not pick up basketball until the 7th grade when he reluctantly went out for the school team.
According to his father, Eddy Curry Sr., "For a long time, Eddy hated basketball. Being a gymnast was his backyard dream, I guess."
In the 2004-05 season the Bulls improved by 28 wins and made the playoffs as the 22-year-old Curry led the team in scoring before being hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat.
This caused him to miss the last 13 games of the regular season and the entire playoffs. On June 24, 2005, heart specialists cleared Curry to resume practice.
On October 3, 2005, after refusing on privacy grounds to submit to a DNA test, as requested by Bulls management to assess whether he has a congenital heart condition, Curry was traded to the New York Knicks.
Several prominent cardiologists cleared Curry to play, but Barry Maron, a world-renowned specialist in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, suggested the DNA test.
During the team's media day, Bulls General Manager John Paxson said he understood the privacy issues involved but insisted the Bulls did not have an ulterior motive; they simply do not want a situation similar to those of former Boston Celtics guard Reggie Lewis or Loyola Marymount star Hank Gathers -- players with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who collapsed and died.

In order for eddy to be effective and in shape and perform night in and night out on the NBA LEVEL he had to take Diet pills.
Now look at him without the diet pills, we laugh and make jokes on how out of shape eddy is.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLIMENTS are not regulated by the federal goverment, so you take them at your own risk which can and may cause multiple heart problems.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
