Summary
Despite the critics who argue that Franics and Marbury cannot productively co-exist, they are currently superior to anyone on the Knicks' roster in terms of talent and production. Ultimately, the Knicks' hopes for a better tomorrow rest with Eddy Curry, whose passive demeanor has translated into him performing magician-like vanishing acts far too often this season.

The 6'11, 285-pound 23-year-old is tragically foul prone. Shaquille O' Neal, on a night when he was far from his best, took Curry out of the game early in the first quarter, as the Miami Heat center simply outworked the Knicks center in a recent game at the Garden.
