A day after his former limo driver filed a head-turning sexual harassment suit and made allegations that he was insulted with racial slurs, a lawyer for Knicks center Eddy Curry says he is is considering a defamation suit in response. Curry told the Chicago Tribune, "He calls me racist and my best friend on the planet is white. He calls me an anti-Semite and my agent is Jewish. I really don't understand how anybody could look at this and think it's remotely true." In today's Times, Knicks teammates rush to defend Curry, calling the allegations, "the complete opposite of his character" and former Coach Isiah Thomas's assessment that he's "a nice man." But Deadspin calls Curry "dodgy" in avoiding the homosexual accusations thrown at him, suggesting he might have "sexual identity issues." In a case of strange timing, the day that the suit was revealed happened to coincide with USA airing the repeat of the Law & Order: SVU episode "Lowdown," where the show tackled the hidden world of the "Down-low" community.
