Eddy Cury was 348 lbs ? 

Post#1 » by raps_aviator » Tue Aug 11, 2009 6:33 pm

Well, Eddy Curry reportedly lost 20 pounds a couple of weeks ago. It today's wiretap archive, he reportedly lost another 10 pounds and his current weight is 318. That means he has lost 30 lbs so far. so does that mean he was 348 lbs :o That's like 20 pounds more than Shaq!

According to multiple sources, Eddy Curry has lost another 10 pounds since the Knicks last saw him in Las Vegas last month.

As of Tuesday, Curry is said to be at about 318 pounds, which is near his ideal weight.

According to, http://dimemag.com/2009/07/eddy-curry-d ... lieves-it/, Curry has lost 50 lbs prior to Las Vegas Summer League. So that would put him at around 398, according to your calculations.

"They’re hearing that Eddy Curry has dropped 50 pounds off of his jelly sandwich frame thank to a strict diet and workout program. "

Curry, 26, who appeared in just two games this past season because of knee and conditioning issues, weighed about 328 in July, which, according to Weatherspoon, was 30 pounds lighter than he was at the end of the NBA season. As of Tuesday, Curry is said to be at about 318 pounds, which is near the ideal weight range that Weatherspoon has set as Curry's playing weight.


Wouldn't that mean his weight was at 358 last season?

here's the thing about curry, even as overweight as he was, he can still play 20-25 mins, give you 14-16 pts in the post on 55-60% shooting.

the guy gives you zero defense, zero assists, zero anything else, but can score in the post if you feed him the ball (and he shoots it instead of eating it).

so much talent for a guy that doesn't love the game. oh well...

i just don't see how d'antoni would like this guy. i bet their goal is to pump up his #'s so they can dump him asap.

Frankly its probably pretty easy to gain that much weight being his size and having no offseason work out plan whatsoever. He's gone pretty much half a year without doing a thing... I could literally explode eating nothing but beer/wings and chocolate as appetizers in his position. Respect to Eddy Curry's appetite!

He was most likely around the same weight as Shaq. Shaq hasn't been in the low 300's for a while now.

But Shaq, even at this age, is still largely muscle.

The Knicks are counting the days until they are able to deal Curry. The guy has no heart!
