Knicks center Eddy Curry was slapped with a shocking sex-harassment suit Monday by his former driver, who claims the 6-foot-11 hoopster tried to solicit gay sex from him.

The stunning court papers claim Curry, a married father of three, repeatedly approached chauffeur David Kuchinsky "in the nude," allegedly telling him, "Look at me, Dave, look" and "Come and touch it, Dave."

Curry also made Kuchinsky perform "humiliating tasks outside the scope of his employment, such as cleaning up and removing dirty towels [Curry had ejaculated into] so that his wife would not see them," the Manhattan federal court suit says.

Kuchinsky, who is straight and Jewish, also alleges racial discrimination, saying that Curry hurled slurs at him including "f---ing Jew," "cracker," "white slave," "white devil" and "grandmaster of the KKK."

The sex allegations hark back to the bad old days of Isiah Thomas running the team, when the team's VP of marketing, Anucha Browne Sanders, filed a 2006 sexual harassment suit claiming the general manager made advances toward her and even said he "loved" her. He also allegedly called her "ho" and "bitch."

She also complained the team was allowed to become a sleazy old-boys club, in which Stephon Marbury had sex with a female intern in an SUV. In the end, Sanders was awarded $11.6 million in punitive damages and the Knicks settled with her.

And in a disturbing episode reminiscent of some of the evidence in the manslaughter case against former Nets star Jayson Williams, Kuchinsky further claims in his suit that Curry pointed a "fully loaded" gun at him on at least two separate occasions to keep him from complaining about his treatment.

"Look, I have one in the chamber," Curry allegedly said.

Kuchinsky, who worked for Curry from October 2005 through October 2008, says he was initially hired as an around-the-clock chauffeur for Curry and his family at their Burr Ridge, Ill., mansion.

But shortly after starting work, he soon found his duties fell well outside his job description and "progressively became Curry's "house-boy,'" his suit says. He is seeking $98,000 plus compensatory damages from the injured Knick, whose contract pays him $9.4 million this year.

Kuchinsky says he is owed $68,000 in unpaid wages, as well as $25,000 in expenses for which Curry never repaid him.

"Instead of paying him, they discriminated against him, figuring that it would keep him there," said Kuchinsky's lawyer, Matthew Blit. "Imagine going into your boss's office ... and he stands up and drops his pants and he asks you take care of him. Those actions are unacceptable whether it's in a corporate office or a private home."

Curry, who has played just 2 minutes, 38 seconds this season because of knee injuries, declined to comment late Monday in New Orleans, where he was expected to sit out the Knicks' game against the Hornets.

His lawyer, Kelly Saindon, denied all of Kuchinsky's allegations, calling them "absolutely untrue," and saying he began making a series of claims for unpaid wages several months ago, upping the ante each time.

Saindon said Curry took a chance on hiring Kuchinsky despite a criminal record that includes a three-year prison sentence for a 1992 burglary in New Jersey. He also got three years' probation in a 2004 resisting-arrest case in the Garden State, records show.

"It's shocking that Eddy opened his home to a convicted felon out of prison, and gave him a job when he couldn't find a job, and this is what comes out of it," she said. "The entire thing is preposterous."

Kuchinsky's lawyer conceded his client's "troubled past," but said that was all behind him.

Eddy Curry earned the art of sexual harassment well from Isiah. I think Isiah may have even gave him his own personal training session.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Maybe this stuff will be proven and the Knicks can find a way to void the player option in his contract for 2011.

If any of this is true then wow. Seems far too strange to me so I'm not going to just flat out believe it. Besides isn't this Marc Berman reporting? I was told nothing he writes is true because he's Marbury's bff.

As to the money owed though I could see that. Doesn't Curry owe some clothing store in Chicago 40K or something? So that's not that far fetched. The rest who knows really.

It's not from Berman. Look at the actual article. Berman probably contributed the stats about Curry playing 2 minutes this season. The authors are not even Knicks writers.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

My bad. Didn't notice the "additional reporting by" there.

I'm with Cos on this one - the only I part I find believable is the part where he owes this guy money. The rest is just... wow.

WTF??? This really doesn't sound believable, but then again, Curry is an Isiah guy, so I guess you never know.

Wow, this is insane. Just when you think we might have moved forward from the ridiculous off court issues, this happens. Can Curry get more untradeable than this?

When people started talking about him retiring, I thought it was insane because he is still young and has some talent, but that is all quickly going down the toilet. But now, with his constant injuries, his obvious lack of interest in basketball, his immaturity and now his image even going to waste, Im starting to believe it could happen.

One thing, though: If the man suing Curry had such a horrible job experience, how come he stayed 3 years and just recently left the job? Thats really strange.

I can't wait to get rid of all the mess that was Isiah's tenure. First Marbury, now Curry. People say Mike D is a bad influence, then Isiah must be the devil himself.

Makes you wonder what kind of orientation videos Isiah was showing all new personnel.

The crap never ends. Can we void his contract for something like this?

Man, I dont know it seems like duke is just throwing as much shyt against the wall to see what sticks. Looks suspicious. If its true, then Curry went after this cat hardbody. Pointing a loaded gun at him, twice!?!?!?

I thought this was a joke written by GKF. It's hard to imagine this is all true. Will see if other newspapers pick this up.

If it is true, then I do believe we have grounds to void Eddie's contract.

Yeah... I think this is BS... but whether it is BS or not, it is just one more excuse for Curry not to get himself into shape and get his head in the game... his season is as good as over. I hope Curry reads some of these posts and decides to be that big angry ball player rather than the soft sack of potatoes that he has been for too long. He needs to get angry. Real angry.

I just can't Curry being that kind of guy. Obviously we don't know the guy personally, but I've just never gotten that kind of vibe from him.
