Via TKB, Frank Isola has us covered on the ghost story from before last night's Knicks-Thunder game:
Eddy Curry claims he slept for only two hours Sunday night because he couldn't stop thinking about ghosts roaming the hotel.
For years, guests staying at the Skirvin Hilton have reported ghost sightings and strange noises. Legend has it that sometime in the 1930s, a woman jumped to her death while holding her baby in her hands.
"They said it happened on the 10th floor and I'm the only one staying on the 10th floor," Curry said. "That's why I spent most of my time in (Nate Robinson's) room. I definitely believe there are ghosts in that hotel."
First of all, I desperately wish the word "ghouls" was used somewhere in this story.
Second of all, I'm gonna file this into the under-used "Steve Francis Hauntings" category. Steve's meddlesome ghost hasn't reared its spectral head in years, but this has all the trappings of a Francis haunting: strange noises, falling babies, etc.
Third of all, Eddy Curry has every right to fear the undead, especially after the time this past summer that a phantom rock band haunted his house.
Really, though, Matt Moore has the whole thing figured out.

Maybe Eddy was huffing paint.

Steve Francis' ghost must have followed the Knicks right onto the court
cus they were clearly scared of defense. Did Francis’ ghost cut in between Duhon and Durant? Was he trying to box out in front of David Lee?

Eddy must have looked in the mirror and thought he saw the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man and got frightened.

Update:
“Maids at the Skirvin Hilton reported a request for additional towels to Nate Robinson’s room at 3:42 AM, and, while cleaning after the Knicks’ noon checkout, were forced to dispose of all linens supplied to the room, which had been badly soiled. Tenth floor maid Betty Stevens, who entered the room assigned to Eddy Curry, noted that his room seemed completely untouched, and just as she had prepared it the day before.
Curry, cradling a box of SnackWell’s Vanilla Creme Cookies, declined further comment."
Eddy should've broadcast his experience on ustream again.
I can see it ending up alot like the Blair Witch Project, but with a ton more calories consumed while on camera.

sometimes, riding the pine so long can make dudes lose their minds.
