Remember Eddy Curry in '05-'06?

Remember the guy that would take that big forceful step inside and lay it in with ease, over opponents of all sizes, with either hand? And who could forget the jams..



You know, that low-post threat we took for granted? If Eddy Curry played low minutes in high intensity situations where he'd be able to get to the places in the paint that he needs to be, he could give the Knicks that extra surge in those score-drought situations that seem to be spreading throughout 7th and 32nd. I saw plenty of our deepest holes get made in the second half of the third quarter of games all season long. If, and only if, Eddy Curry can take his off-season training seriously, we may not need to draft or trade for the low-post threat we have been starving for.

Looking at the difference between NBA players and NHL players, I might suggest that Eddy Curry try out an ice hockey routine, perhaps the one of high-intensity routines that the Europeans like Daniel Alfredsson, Martin Havlat, and Patrik Elias put their bodies through?




Core training techniques that these European hockey players employ lead to 15+ year seasons at the top of the stat sheets. Eddy Curry might have another 1-2 good years left in him, yet. Depending on if his training this summer can really prove 'european' enough for his Euro-ball savvy coach.
