CBS Pre-Game Segment on Patrick Ewing's NBA Debut 

One of 50th greatest NBA players.

Imagine IF Bernard King and Patrick Ewing PLAYED TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P to Moses Malone, Don Imus and David Stern

my favorite player of alltime one love like pa announcer wud say pa trick ewing boy i use to live for that

Lived up to the expectation. Only lost in the first round once. Knicks where always contenders and came super close to wining it all many times!

wish i could have time machine...

Even though Ralph Sampson certainly had big moments Ewing much more lived up to the hype

Happy Birthday Patrick Ewing!🎂🍰💪🎉🥳

Wow...CBS didn't normally debut that early in the regular season.

Wow this is dope! my fav player PAAATRICK EWING!!!!

if I was NBA communsenoer it would go like this NBA goes back to CBS & NBC opening night belongs to the NBA champion season would start in October/November playoff games would be changed Eastern Conference Finals on CBS and TNT Western Conference Finals on NBC NBA finals games 1,2,5,7 on NBC games 3,4,6 on CBS NBA TV remains with fan night Tuesdays

I watched that game and the Sixers wer e my team. Talk about baptism under fire against the hardest and one of the most underrated greats in Moses Malone.

Great upload, as always. Thanks, mate!

Love the clips you put up! Keep it coming!

Great times when the NBA was still watchable.

He is definitely the greatest player to ever were a kNick uniform. Strange how the Knicks never won the number one pick since that year. 1973;. 51 years and counting. still have my Ewing 1995 Jersey.

Note that this was the debut of the shortened backboard where you saw no gap between the bottom of the basket and the backboard. The reason why they closed the gap between the bottom of the basket and backboard was because players were hitting their heads on the bottom of the backboard.

Lot like magic in ‘79 - debut shown on ntwrk tv cbs, beginning w/ nbc’s 2nd yr ntwrk cov of an nba season would start on Xmas

RIP to sound.
