i dont think its tim grover's fault, i'd go with eddy curry on that one. tim grover has the endorsement of dozens of pros, inlcuding MJ, its not his fault some overweight, disinterested zero doesn't want to work.

why are we paying attention to a sports article written by msnbc? That's no better than trying to get your sports scores from the 10 o' clock news.

Somehow, I find it hard to believe that your average NBA talent would come on a message board and reveal information unless he was lying. Hell, I could say I played with Kobe Bryant after he flew me on a private chartered plane to Asia where I later dunked on him...TWICE. Don't mean that it's true.

Obviously you haven't watched Curry if you haven't seen any results. Take a look at NBA.com and you'd notice that his stats actually increase with time and he's only 24 years old.

Hey, I'm glad you got rid of him too because as a Knick fan he makes our present and future so much brighter. How is the Tim Thomas and Mike Sweetney deal working out for y'all?

Grover knows that a guy with Curry's frame should weight more than 285, Bulls tought otherwise and it hurt EC and Grover.

Isiah and the Knicks will let Grover do his thing and they will monitor everything.

Eddy will never get better. He doesn't have the motivation or desire to do so. His best season was the one where he was down at 285, but it got ended short at the hands of Eddy, because like always, he has to cheat, and take the easy way out, and took diet pills, which led to his irregular heart beat.

LOL, talk about falling into the trap. Eddy Curry gets paid $60M, the bulls got a ton of cap space, they got tyrus thomas, and if thomas was a knick he would have the most trade value on the team, and best of all, the bulls will be switching your first rounder this year, so expect a pick in the 23-27 range. this trade set the knicks back even further, everyone knows that besides some diehard knicks fans

Never saw this article before, but looks like Eddy has self esteem issues too!

The Daily News has learned that in the summer of 2004, Curry, in an attempt to lose weight, either knowingly or unknowingly began taking ephedra, a controversial diet supplement that increases metabolism. It is not recommended for anyone with a heart condition and federal investigators have linked ephedra to at least 100 deaths - including that of Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler - and to strokes, seizures and heart attacks. It was banned by most sports leagues, including the NBA, long before the federal government finally outlawed its sale last year.

According to a source, the pills were provided by Tim Grover, the Chicago-based trainer whose A-list clients include Michael Jordan and Alex Rodriguez. Curry denied taking ephedra, saying the weight loss was the result of a low-carb diet. Grover did not return phone calls made to his office.

"I wasn't taking any supplements," Curry says. "I cut out bread and sugar from my diet. I lost something like 35 pounds and I came in at 275 pounds. I felt uncomfortable. I didn't feel like myself at all. I wanted to play at 285 or 290."

According to a source, the Bulls noticed Curry's dramatic weight loss and became suspicious. Curry gained a reputation as a player who gained weight during the off-season and avoided the Bulls' training facility during the summer. Curry contends that he preferred to use Grover, whom he hired four years earlier, to monitor his workouts at Hoops the Gym in downtown Chicago.

who is the source ?

how does he/she know? what's their relationship to being in the know on this?

sources can say anything . I remember sources saying George W. Bush is a smart man who cares about everything and everybody doesn't make it true.

Tim grover doesn't say it (notice I used an actual name) eddy curry doesn't say it in fact both say the opposite, so who should I believe 2 grown men in the know or an unnamed source whom isn't even forthcoming with his name or how he/she comes about such info yet knows so much .

i'll remain unconvinced .
