Miami Heat Center Eddy Curry sought motivation to get back into NBA shape from teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, according to the Miami Herald.
“I was getting a call or email or text every other day. When it wasn’t D-Wade, it was LeBron.†Curry recalled of his life with James and Wade during the lockout.
“I thought I could help them while I was watching the playoffs,†Curry told the Herald. “But then they started calling. It wasn’t me imagining or dreaming anymore. It wasn’t third party. I heard it from their mouths. Do you know how much that motivated me? That these guys wanted me?â€
The center played in his first game last week since 2009, after missing time due to a mixture of injuries and poor conditioning. Despite a promising young career in which he averaged 19.5 points per game in 2006-07, Curry gained massive amounts of weight which threatened the seven-footer’s ability to get on the floor ever again.
In his first game back since 2009, Curry logged in 6 points and 4 rebounds for the Heat against the Los Angeles Lakers.
