OKLAHOMA CITY - The Knicks were afraid, very afraid. And it had nothing to do with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
For two days, several players had trouble sleeping because they were convinced that their downtown hotel is haunted.
"I definitely believe it," Jared Jeffries said. "The place is haunted. It's scary."
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."
Assistant coach Herb Williams teased Jeffries and Curry for believing that the Skirvin is haunted, but Curry wasn't laughing.
"There are too many stories," Curry said. "Something is going on there."
We don't really talk about the Knicks to much here at The Improp. Kinda surprising considering they've been playing pretty well as of late-- The Knicks are 12-8 in their last 20 games, and are only a 1 1/2 out of the playoffs. Not bad if you think about it, this team wasn't even suppose to sniff the playoff race this year. Even the games they lose are close, they seem to be in pretty much every one. Last night was an exception though, they got rocked by the Thunder, and to blame it on a haunted hotel is absurd. Seriously if you cant sleep, you think your hearing something down a bottle of NyQuil. Its bound to do the trick. Once you start making obscure excuses like this, you never know were its gonna end.
