Knicks center Eddy Curry has already begun two-a-day workouts at an undisclosed facility in Michigan. The program was arranged by Curry's agent, Leon Rose. Curry's weight has ballooned up around 300 pounds. Rose brought in William Wesley -- yes, "Worldwide" Wes -- to oversee the Curry renovation project.

I'm speechless!

He has weight issues?! Really?!

This is just bullsh!t PR. Curry is waaay over 300 lbs. He's in Michigan because that's where his favorite restaurants are.

look at the picture of him it looks like hes about to throw up trying to do a lay up

Does he have any desire to be a great ballplayer? The agent is pushing this? Lebron is pushing for a championship, while Curry wants to get paid so he can eat.

He's trying to lose the weight so he can pick up on more limo drivers.

No surprise.

This article was poorly written. At first glance it looks like he was under 300 pounds and then his weight ballooned after he started the work outs. On second thought I think the writer meant to say he was over 300 pounds that's why he's working out to cut out the fat. Anyways the league needs to come up with some rules to protect teams from loosing so much money due to excess weight piled on by these players.

The Knicks should set a target weight for him and force him to play summer league...

Everyones piling on curry like he piles on food at a buffet.....
But in reality- whether this is for PR or whatever-
at least he seems to be trying to get into shape

We make fun of him all we want- but a MOTIVATED curry
can score- still won't play D or board....but he can score

So anything he does to TRY and improve I am all for....
- I'm not holding my breath, but MOST people do grow up
(and out in his case)

That pretty much says all you need to know. Not only is he maybe 60lbs overweight, he's LAZY. Prediction: After this charade, he'll report next season having lost 5 pounds and declare himself "in the best shape he's been in the last 3 years."

"...the Curry renovation project."

What is this... Extreme Home Makeover?

send him to the Grizzlies, make him the mascot, he already has the size.

Should anyone really care about Curry 'The Scrub"?

Curry's like Shawn Kemp, except, without the good years.
