Chicago native and New York Knicks center Eddy Curry has 16 of his tattoos. After the jump, he talks about every one of them. Along the way he also offers advice to teenagers thinking of getting some ink ("A mom and dad tat" can help the parents come around), explains that the "Angels and Demons" tattoo on his calf took two six-hour sessions and was "excruciating ... I'm talking about pretty painful." (Duly noted.)

The best part: Curry's retelling of Bulls guard Anthony Roberson's tat.

That and the video below.

Knicks on Eddy Curry: 'Not Ready'

Man, Eddy Curry spends his entire summer working the Stairmaster and eating like a vegan caveman and he still can't get fit enough for his Knickerbocker bosses. Curry tweaked his calf within the first days of training camp, and that (plus ongoing fitness issues) had Knicks prez Donnie Walsh telling reporters things like "When he can get out here and do it without pulling something, we'll bring him back."

Walsh is rarely this direct; you'd never see the Knicks discuss Danilo Gallinari's back injury (which plagued the 2008-09 season) in this fashion. But Curry's reported lack of effort in the gym prior to this summer hasn't earned the big fellow the right of indignation, I suppose.

In the foreseeable absence of Curry, the Knicks will roll with various levels of David Lee, Darko Milicic and rookie Jordan Hill at center.

Hot on Heels of Twitter, NBA Players Make Lifecasting 'Next Big Thing'

The 2009 NBA season could be considered the season of Twitter, as the NBA was at the forefront of the explosion of the micro-blogging service. Twitter became the go-to communication tool for many NBA players because of its ease of use and because it enabled them to reach their fans without the help of mainstream media.

But if the 2009 season was the season of Twitter, then the 2010 season might be the year of Ustream. Ustream (and competing services such as Justin.tv) is a web platform that allows for "lifecasting" and streaming of live events via a web cam or some high-end phones.

Revisiting the 2001 NBA Draft

FanHouse fixes a decade of draft-day blunders in Revisiting the NBA Draft.

After two putrid drafts, the NBA returned to form in 2001 -- but not right away. This draft will forever be known as the day Michael Jordan transformed from the greatest player on Earth to a below average general manager. With the No. 1 overall pick, Jordan held the fate of the Washington Wizards in the same hands that dunked on many of opponent, and he had a rich variety of players for which to don the savior of the franchise.

And he chose Kwame Brown. It really wasn't Kwame's fault. He was the victim of an amazing workout that impressed Jordan so much -- was this thing on video? -- that Air was convinced Brown would emerge as an All-Star. The brutal truth is that this prep player from Georgia faded into one of the biggest busts in draft history, hanging out in the same club as LaRue Martin, Joe Barry Carroll and Michael Olowokandi.

Warning: this one's a little crazy, even for the insatiable New York media types. Knicks center Eddy Curry was handed a sexual harassment lawsuit on Monday, which normally wouldn't be all that surprising -- especially considering the example that was set by the team's former president, Isiah Thomas.

Sex Scandals in Sports

Doing Lines: A BCS Muted Slate of Games

Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the lig. Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list.

Yeah, every night there are some stupendous lines. Thursday night, they were just stupendously bad! On an night when the BCS Championship game took over most of America's televisions, the NBA made sure to only have two very underwhelming games schedule. Knicks v. Mavs and Clippers v. Spurs. Yep, they might have been better off not having any games.

Gator Tribute Falls Short: David Lee tried to pay tribute to his Florida Gators with a 13 point, 15 rebound night. However, his team didn't hold up their end of the bargain, as they lost to the Mavs 99-94. In that game, Eddy Curry also saw his first action of the season, scoring 2 points and grabbing 2 points in 3 minutes of action. Yipee!

All-Stars Underwhelm: How bad were last nights games? Well the two best players playing last night both had off nights. Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan combined to score 18 points on 7-24 shooting. Gross! It was as if the two of them realized no one was watching and figured it would be okay to take a night off. Not cool guys...not cool at all. UPDATE: Nowitzki gets a pass, since he played through a fever. Although Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant would laugh at such an excuse (even in the regular season). But still, you get my point.

Don't worry, the league will make up for Thursday's irrelevance with a few gems and a full slate of games tonight. Check the NBA Guide later today for the details.

David Lee Might Not Be Going Anywhere

As Tom Ziller pointed out over the weekend, rumblings of a three-way deal between the Knicks, Blazers and Clippers surfaced a few days ago. Exact details of the alleged trade were never clear, but it seemed to hinge on David Lee (and potentially Eddy Curry) heading to Portland, Marcus Camby returning to New York and, well, someone going to the Clippers.

Now that a couple of days have passed without movement, the trade appears to be dead in the water -- and if you believe the parties involved, it may not have ever been alive in the first place.

Eddy Curry Gets Sued for Not Paying His Shopping Tab at Casual Male Retail Store

Eddy Curry has had a tough life, insofar as an NBA basketball player can (although most of it can be attributed to his work ethic I suppose). But not so tough that he should be subjected to the latest humiliation headed his way: he's being sued by Casual Male, where he allegedly spent $41,000 on clothes and then failed to pay off his bill.

Curry racked up a bill of more than $41,000 at Casual Male Retail Group, and two years later it remains unpaid, the suit says.

The company says Curry owes an additional $5,424 in interest from his 2006 shopping sprees.

''It's just a matter of him buying clothing he didn't pay for,'' said Edward Margolis, the attorney representing Casual Male and Jared M. Custom Clothing, a business popular with professional athletes that once was owned by Casual Male.

Curry supposedly bought almost $4,000 in ties and $22,000 in suits, which, um, yeah, seems a bit freaking absurd. But then again, if you're going to be non-rebounding, non-defensive playing baller in the NYC, you've got to bring your A-game when it comes to clothes.

The only downside to this whole story really is that the store's name doesn't involve "Big and Tall" or "Husky Ballers". (Glorious Update: Turns out Casual Male is a big and tall. Sweet.) But, on the bright side, there's any number of "uncomfortable place" jokes just waiting to be abused if Curry refuses to pay.

Knicks Win in D'Antoni's Coaching Debut

The New York Knicks opened the season on a great note tonight by winning their home opener against the Miami Heat. It was Mike D'Antoni's first regular-season game as Knicks coach, and from the jump you could see his fingerprints all over this year's Knicks squad.

Ball movement, cutting, and smart offense were all things the Knicks displayed tonight. There also was a level of effort that I haven't seen displayed by a Knicks team in years. Zach Randolph looked especially good in the offense. D'Antoni had him moving all over the place, coming off of curls in the paint and playing the pick-and-roll game with Jamal Crawford. Crawford also had an outstanding game, which has to be a relief for some Knicks fans, since Crawford had a "tuurible" preseason.

Outside of the great play from the Knicks, the major story was the lack of Eddy Curry and Stephon Marbury. We knew Curry wouldn't see any action before the game, but Marbury had been getting burn in the preseason, so it was surprising to see him log a DNP-CD. Even more surprising were the chants of "We want Steph" the MSG crowd sent D'Antoni's way throughout the game. Wasn't he getting booed last season? Now Knicks fans want him to play? You gotta love New York.

Speaking of boos, that was another element that was different from last year. I can't recall one moment where the MSG crowd started booing the home team.

Although they were playing a Heat team that was one of the league's worst teams last season, seeing the Knicks give a consistent 48-minute effort tells me that this season will be much better for Knicks fans than the previous few.
