OKLAHOMA CITY - The Knicks were afraid, very afraid. And it had nothing to do with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

For two days, several players had trouble sleeping because they were convinced that their downtown hotel is haunted.

"I definitely believe it," Jared Jeffries said. "The place is haunted. It's scary."

Eddy Curry claims he slept for only two hours Sunday night because he couldn't stop thinking about ghosts roaming the hotel.

For years, guests staying at the Skirvin Hilton have reported ghost sightings and strange noises. Legend has it that sometime in the 1930s, a woman jumped to her death while holding her baby in her hands.

"They said it happened on the 10th floor and I'm the only one staying on the 10th floor," Curry said. "That's why I spent most of my time in (Nate Robinson's) room. I definitely believe there are ghosts in that hotel."

Assistant coach Herb Williams teased Jeffries and Curry for believing that the Skirvin is haunted, but Curry wasn't laughing.

"There are too many stories," Curry said. "Something is going on there."

Whether it is true or not isn't important. If the guys believe it and can't sleep, the Knicks should book a different hotel next time the play in OK City.

Eddy and JJ are the ghosts in NYC already.
They will join spirits of Steph, Isiah, Jerom, Zack, and Craf very soon.
Booooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

And BigBaby Eddy is hiding in Little Nates closet...

Since Eddy was on the bench for the game, what does that implicate?

Haha, this is too funny.

Can we just make the visiting teams stay in hotel in close vicinity to hookers? It will work even better than ghosts. Maybe someone will get a groin injury. NYC is the place where they said take a walk on the wild side is it not LOL

A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

The Knicks dont have enough money, as an organization, to make other lodging arrangements?

somewhere DJ White is laughing his ass off hiding in a closet on the 10th floor of the Skirvin Hotel.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Yeah, Eddy really needs his sleep these days. Must rest up for riding the pine. Poor guy, he must have been exhausted.

Can someone PLEASE photoshop eddy's face onto Demi Moore's body?

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

So we have a guy 6'11" 220-something and another 6'11" 320-something afraid of ghosts.

Really?

And let's not forget this in the papers now. I don't think teams will be rushing to take Eddy off our hands now. Great way to kill any miniscule trade value he may have had left.

Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News:

"The Spurs spent Tuesday night at The Skirvin Hilton, an Oklahoma City hotel rumored to be haunted. Earlier in the week, several members of the Knicks blamed their loss to the Thunder on bumps in the night at the spooky inn. Spurs guard George Hill didn't know what to make of his sleepover at the Skirvin. 'I stayed up all night listening for strange noises,' he said. Manu Ginobili, unsurprisingly, was unfazed by the ghost stories. After all, he's already taken on a bat this season. 'No problems at all,' Ginobili said. 'I slept like a baby.' On the whole, the Spurs didn't seem too spooked by the experience. They planned to stay Wednesday night there, too, instead of heading on to Charlotte."
