Driver sues former Knick Eddy Curry

Eddy Curry’s limo driver is giving him another ride — to court.

The failed New York Knick’s emotional account of his mistakes as a pro basketball player violated a confidentiality agreement, his former driver charges in a new lawsuit.

Curry, the former center and 2001 fourth overall pick, said in an article titled “The Truth Was Way Worse” on the Players’ Tribune website this year that the Knicks enabled the bad behavior that ruined his potential. His many low points, Curry recalled, included a suit filed by his limo driver, David Kuchinsky, charging him with sexual harassment and unpaid wages. The dispute went into arbitration, and Curry settled with Kuchinsky for $300,000, Curry wrote.

Disclosure of that figure, as well as details of the negotiations, were a violation of a confidentiality deal, Kuchinsky claims in a lawsuit filed Monday in Manhattan Federal Court.

“Not only did Curry fail to meet the expectations that us fans had after he signed a contract with the Knicks, he failed to adhere to his contract with Mr. Kuchinsky,” the driver’s attorney Matthew Blit said.

In the article, Curry recalled that during a pause in negotiations Kuchinsky was “crying his eyes out,” apologizing for the embarrassing allegations and explaining that his wife had left him and taken their kid.

“At one point I turn to him and am like, ‘So what are you saying? Are you saying that I don’t have to give you this money?’ ” Curry wrote. “He wipes his eyes and takes a second, and then, all quiet, he’s like: ‘Oh, no bro. I still need that money.’ ”

Curry, who joined the Knicks in 2005, failed to meet the expectations that came with his six-year, $60 million contract. He had weight, work ethic and debt problems. Kuchinsky’s original suit added to Curry’s woes. The driver said he’d made sure Curry’s wife didn’t know about the player’s many affairs, among other duties.

“I was approached by Curry in the nude and solicited to engage in homosexual acts with him,” Kuchinsky claimed.
