With Eddy Curry Around, No Medicine Ball Is Safe

by Marcel Mutoni

Over the years, Eddy Curry fat jokes have become incredibly boring and overdone. But the man makes it impossible for us to avoid them; at times, the jokes write themselves and quite literally come to life on their own.

Curry was at practice yesterday, doing some light stretching (ha!) on a medicine ball when the unthinkable hilarious happened. From the Daily News:

Poor Eddy Curry. He sat on the giant blue physio-ball during a break from Monday’s practice and the ball exploded. Eddy fell and scraped and his wrist but should be okay.

The ball, which is used for stretching exercises, was pronounced dead at the scene

That has to be a first of some kind.

To compound Eddy’s problems, it appears as though he won’t be part of the starting rotation for the Knicks come Opening Night.

    Didn’t Lang campaign for Eddy to be an All-Star at one point?

  • Paul Posted: Oct.14 at 9:02 am
    FIRST, that’s funny

  • Boing Dynasty Posted: Oct.14 at 9:04 am
    physio balls and medicine balls arnt actually the same thing, just saying…

  • andrew Posted: Oct.14 at 9:07 am
    Boing is correct. Also, I sell those things in my store. The Knicks should get a refund. They’re meant to be burst resistant, so if they pop, they don’t explode, they just deflate slowly so as not to injure the user. HA!

  • KayDoub Posted: Oct.14 at 9:12 am
    you 2 are right, but let’s not forget this story is really to mock at Eddy…..hahahaha….but thank you for letting us know they’re meant to be burst resistant, but apparently Curry is that fat.

    Stop playing.

  • jay Posted: Oct.14 at 9:21 am
    he’s eating himself a way out of the NBA one twinky at a time…

  • Jukai Posted: Oct.14 at 9:23 am
    Andrew: I don’t think the balls are Curry-stress tested.

  • Mo Charlo Posted: Oct.14 at 9:24 am
    I’m going to have this mental image of Eddy Curry sitting on an enormous whoopie cushion, with that perpetual “What else can go wrong?” look on his face.

  • Moose Posted: Oct.14 at 9:27 am
    Oh my god.

  • andrew Posted: Oct.14 at 9:46 am
    Jukai: I’m going to propose to our supplier that they hire Curry after his NBA career finishes to test them out. Imagine his face on the box “Even I can’t break it!”

  • mat smith Posted: Oct.14 at 9:46 am
    Eddy’s blood type is Ragu

  • Jukai Posted: Oct.14 at 9:48 am
    Andrew: He’ll need work when he’s out of the NBA, I suppose.

  • jay Posted: Oct.14 at 10:23 am
    yeah, At Burger King…

  • Exile Posted: Oct.14 at 10:31 am
    Mat smith wins.

  • MSkittle Posted: Oct.14 at 10:38 am
    Wish you guys had video of this.

  • Chris O'Leary Posted: Oct.14 at 10:40 am
    That’s like something you’d read on April Fool’s Day and just assume that it’s made up. It’s too ridiculous.

  • Diesel Posted: Oct.14 at 10:46 am
    I don’t want to bring the dude’s family into it, but I sat behind Eddie’s sister at a Bulls game once and her head is HUGE. Biggest head I’ve ever seen on a human being.

  • Gerard Himself Posted: Oct.14 at 10:54 am
    Diesel: I’m 5’11 but my head looks like a freakin’melon. I could beat her.

  • niQ Posted: Oct.14 at 10:57 am
    i didn’t think that was ever possible. thank you eddie curry, you have made my day .hAHAHAH

  • BETCATS Posted: Oct.14 at 11:13 am

  • Froggiestyle Posted: Oct.14 at 11:26 am
    yes video must be had – too funny

  • matt Posted: Oct.14 at 11:30 am
    he should try the starbury mixtape :D maybe with those exercices he could lose some weight …..

  • Niio Posted: Oct.14 at 1:15 pm
    I could just hear Eddy saying “SEE!! This is why i don’t exercise, you could get hurt doing this!”

  • d.Y. Posted: Oct.14 at 1:56 pm
    You can’t make this sh*t up.

  • Maeng Posted: Oct.14 at 2:10 pm
    Bwhahahahahahahahahahahaha that’s hilarious!

  • CARTEL Posted: Oct.14 at 2:11 pm
    i’m not even surprised!!!

  • JoeMaMa Posted: Oct.14 at 2:22 pm
    And this is after he supposedly lost a bunch of weight from being sick.
    He’s a rich man’s Ike Austin, sans pre-contract hustle.

    well at least it was the ball and not the gymnasium! sad……..

  • Khalid Salaam Posted: Oct.14 at 4:09 pm
    is this on youtube??

  • TADOne Posted: Oct.14 at 4:10 pm
    If this somehow gets on youtube, I guarantee a million hits.

    Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 NEWWWW YORRRRRK KNIIIIIICKSSSS!

  • Diesel Posted: Oct.14 at 5:46 pm
    So who got the better of the Chicago/New York Trade? New York got Curry, who when near 350 pounds can be decent. Chicago got Noah and Thomas, who have both not yet lived up to their potential? Is it possible they both lost?

  • speedy Posted: Oct.14 at 5:58 pm
    Nobody knew that there had been a medicine ball under his a** until the explosion happened.

  • Pete Casey Posted: Oct.14 at 7:57 pm
    Good foreshadowing of the Knicks’ season.

  • Cupcake Posted: Oct.14 at 10:41 pm
    Sh!t. I really wanna see this.
    Be totally amazing if Sean May and Eddy Curry got together at an all you can eat buffet.

  • Patrick Lok Posted: Oct.14 at 11:10 pm
    I think you’re talking about a Swiss ball – but imagine if an actual medicine ball had exploded. Those things are dense like dark matter…

  • Darksaber Posted: Oct.15 at 1:45 am
    Physio or medicine ball, who cares what’s burst resistant. There are a number of huge guys in the nba who at one time or other sat on physio balls, without having them burst. (Benoit, Shaq, Oliver Miller anyone?). So this is hella funny. Eddy Curry is a joke.

  • KA Posted: Oct.15 at 3:14 am
    eddy curry fat joke > yo momma fat jokes.

    I dont understand how all these comments before the above were dated October?

  • awesomepossum Posted: Dec.15 at 2:46 pm
    On Eddy, i know money makes the world go round (pun intended) but be a hero and just annul your contract. Jeez…

  • j-zone Posted: Jan.4 at 7:18 pm
    I’d like to see what Eddy eats over the course of 24 hours.
