Despite comprehensive scrutiny by doctors, it remains unknown what caused Eddy Curry to become so sick he required immobilization at the Knicks' Saratoga hotel (and two trips to the hospital) for the team's entire five-day training camp. Team officials stated he had contracted a bacterial infection, whatever that means. "At first they thought I had strep throat. Then doctors were worried the infection might attack my heart. But they never identified for sure what hit me. I still don't know," Curry said Tuesday night in the wake of a stomach ailment that forced him to sit out all but 6:21 of the 76ers' win at the Garden. I told Curry word had it a contaminated needle may have been the origin of his mysterious illness, that a trip to the tattoo parlor three or four days prior to the Knicks' assembly triggered the trouble. Confirmation denied! "You're telling me something I haven't heard before," Curry said. "I did get a tattoo, but it was three or four weeks before camp, not days." I was down to my last morsel of hearsay. I gently led my witness. "Supposedly, the area around that tattoo was red and open." "No, by then it had healed. The redness and the swelling had gone away," Curry said.

i wouldn't mess w/no 7 foot tall 300 lb dude, tats or no tats.

Perhaps you didn't see his defense on Friday night. My boxer could beat him up.

i saw the guy at the white plains movie theater last year ... the dude was the least imposing 7-foot 300 lb guy you'll ever see ... he barely stood out... i'm serious, it was remarkable how he just blended in as nothing special, standing in line ordering his two slices of Sbarro.
