NBA Basketball … gymnast ??

Eddy Curry of the New York Knicks had a dream …

Since he was 11, he knew what he was going to do for the rest of his life. He was into gymnastics, but when is the last time you saw a 7-foot black male gymnast in the Olympics?”

… “When Eddy Curry was in junior high school, his idol of choice wasn’t Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Hakeem Olajuwon. It was Dominique Dawes, the Olympic gymnast. “She was real cool,” Curry says. “I thought she looked good, too.” […] In an age when every 7-footer dreams of being a point guard, Curry, who can still complete a backflip, is a genuine throwback who doesn’t mind throwing his weight around.”
