Scott Skiles Still Hates Eddy Curry

Lost in last night's beat down of Knicks was this little gem in the Sun-Times today.
''Eddy's having a very good year, but it seems like he's being put on a
pedestal here awful quickly,'' Skiles said. ''I don't think that's
necessarily
fair to him because he's still such a young player [24].

It made me remember one of my all-time favorite sports quotes. I believe it was in the middle of the 2003 season, Curry was starting to break out offensivly, but he was getting out rebounded by guards which didn't make Skiles very happy(Curry didn't even average double digit rebounds his senior year of high school). That led to this exchange:

Reporter: "Scott, what do you think Eddy can do to improve his rebounding?"
Skiles: "Jump"

Ah, the good old days.
