Who is Eddy Curry?
Eddy Anthony Curry Jr. born on the 5th of December, 1982, is an American former professional basketball player, who became known for his many years playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for teams including the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks. He also spent a year playing for the Zheijiang Golden Bulls of the Chinese Basketball Association.
Eddy Curry’s Early Life
Born in Harvey, Illinois, Curry is the son of Gayle and Eddy Curry Sr. He has a brother named Jason and has two sisters named Nicole and Beth. Before falling in love with basketball, Curry first had his heart set on becoming a gymnast, and not until seventh grade did he join the basketball team at Thornwood High School, in South Holland, Illinois. In 2001 he led his team to place second in the IHSA State Playoffs, and was named Illinois Mr. Basketball that year. After a successful basketball career in high school, Curry gained a full scholarship at DePaul University, but then decided to declare himself eligible for the NBA 2001 draft.
So Curry’s professional career started when he was selected fourth overall by the Chicago Bull, and his contract signing with the Bulls jumpstarted both his professional career in basketball and his net worth. Curry played well for the Bulls for a couple of years until it was discovered in the 2004-2005 season that he had an irregular heartbeat, causing him to miss most of the end of the season. The Bulls requested a DNA test to see if he had a congenital heart condition, but Curry refused, and so he was traded off to the New York Knicks, for whom he played from 2005 until released in 2011. Before the year ended, he was signed by the Miami Heat, where he played for two years and helped win the 2012 NBA Championship.

Although his career with the Chinese Basketball Association was short, it still helped increase his wealth. There is no news of his activities since then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD42fvSuMyE
