The Knicks have been talking about Eddy Curry as an All-Star-caliber player, and now the Magic are, too.

Curry, passed over when the All-Star reserves were announced last week, was definitely the star against the Magic, scoring 27 points, to lead New York to a 94-86 victory Saturday night.

"Eddy showed tonight he should have been on the All-Star team," Knicks forward David Lee said.

But Curry didn't, probably because the Knicks are well below .500.

"I was upset I didn't make the All-Star team because I felt with the season I was having, I should have been there," Curry said.
