My Take
Eddy Curry fascinates me as a what-if story. Picked fourth overall in the 2001 NBA draft straight out of Thornwood High in Illinois, he was a seven-foot center the Bulls and later the Knicks bet big on. I find that prep-to-pro jump both thrilling and brutal, because the league expects instant returns from teenagers carrying enormous expectations. His career never quite matched the hype, and I think that says less about him than about how unforgiving the spotlight is on young big men. I still find his journey worth remembering as a reminder of how thin the line is between potential and production.
