When Eddy Curry wasn't wearing his Bulls uniform, he favored $1,400 cashmere sweaters and $350 dress shirts, a lawsuit filed Wednesday alleges.

Curry racked up a bill of more than $41,000 at Casual Male Retail Group, and two years later it remains unpaid, the suit says.

The company says Curry owes an additional $5,424 in interest from his 2006 shopping sprees.

''It's just a matter of him buying clothing he didn't pay for,'' said Edward Margolis, the attorney representing Casual Male and Jared M. Custom Clothing, a business popular with professional athletes that once was owned by Casual Male.

Margolis confirmed that the defendant was the former Bulls player, who is on the New York Knicks' roster.

Purchases on Curry's shopping trips, which occurred between January and April 2006, included $22,000 in suits, eight sweaters ranging from a $750 wool crew-neck to a $1,390 cashmere V-neck and more than $3,700 in ties.

He's a total Abomination to skinny and even fat people.

I wonder how this happens. How does a millionaire pro player not pay his bill? How does this go down? Where is the breakdown? It's seemingly so simple, to pay for stuff you want to buy.

When these kids get into the league, don't they give them sort of financial planning classes of some sort?

Things like this tell me he's not been very responsible financially - which is not surprising since he's not very responsible physically either, it seems.

I think the shop owner is just making this BS up. They are trying to rip Curry off tough times leads to desperate measures by shop owners.

That's luda.
