The second, via some character named Shoals, this CNN SI write-up on a Bearcats page from 2001:"When Eddy Curry was in junior high school, his idol of choice wasn't Kareem Abdul-Jabbar orHakeem Olajuwon. It was Dominique Dawes, the Olympic gymnast. "She was real cool," Curry says. "I thought she looked good, too." [...] Inan age when every 7-footer dreams of being a point guard, Curry, who can still complete a backflip, is a genuine throwback who doesn'tmind throwing his weight around."
So physically gifted and just a waste

I blame it on people gassing his head up to get paid and not to be a legend.

He is EXTREMELY gifted.
Reading that didn't surprise me one bit.
And why I say IF he's devoted he can thrive under D'Antoni and in the open court as a trailer.

[h1]MSG plays tough with Knicks voice Gus Johnon[/h1]
Gus Johnson
What's up with Gus Johnson? Will he return to his gig as radio voice ofthe New York Knickerbockers?
The question became worth asking after Johnson was conspicuously missing in action during Madison Square Garden Network's telecasts of Knickssummer league tilts in Las Vegas. Over the past few years, Johnson teamed withWalt Frazier on those productions. This time around, Mike Crispino joined Clyde.
What gives?
Well-embedded NBA broadcastingmoles, pausing to stop shaking their Redeem Team pom-poms, said Johnson's contract with MSG expired following the 2007-08 season. They report he'scurrently in negotiations with MSG suits.
How are the negotiations going? Here's where it gets sticky. The same sources said MSG Network brass - boss Mike Bair and executive producer Lydia Murphy-Stephans - are playing hardball with Johnson overterms of a new deal.
Would these two be bubbleheaded enough not to ink Johnson? The Excitable One has spent 10 seasons as part of MSG's Knicks radio team - the past five asthe Knicks' No. 1 radiocaster, working with veteran analyst John (Legend) Andariese.
The fact that it's almost September and MSG has not come to terms with Johnson is a tad strange. Especially considering what's taking place on thecourt.
With Mike D'Antoni in place as coach, and Donnie Walsh now the brains of the organization, the fog on 33rd St. has a chance oflifting. The Garden will be selling optimism. It better if it wants anyone to purchase overpriced tickets.
The broadcast end of the operation will be key in describing the transition to friend and foe alike. Johnson should be part of this. He's been with MSGthrough mostly bad times. If this is the start of a turnaround, Johnson has the chops to chronicle the franchise's resurrection on the radio.
Did Johnson cut Isiah Thomas major slack and spread MSGulag partypropaganda? Yep. He, along with all the other MSG Knicks voices who joined him, have been ripped to shreds in this space. A new day may be dawning.
Johnson took the heat. He has thick skin and a unique style. His calls are full of over-the-top passion. The man has a following.
Perhaps this has actually dawned on Bair and Murphy-Stephans. But who knows what these two are thinking? After all, their regime has not made anyone forgetabout those grand days when MSG was the Rolls-Royce of regional cablesports networks.

Gus is so overrated by you guys. He's great for the college game, but in the NBA he doesn't appeal to me. I much rather listen to Breen.

I hope Gus is re-signed. I think there is a lot of unfair hate for Breen within Team Knicks but Gus is a damn good play-by-play guy and should stay with theKnicks.

Breen is objective but he sounds like a commentator for the other team too much

^I can see that point....as I have stated before I think Breen sometimes struggles switching between doing a national and local broadcasts. I like that Breenis not a homer though.
