you name a center with a ring ill tell you the other HALL OF FAMERS who helped .... EWING never got that.... Patrick got a buncha scrappy tough guys... and still got to a game 7 in the finals.....UNDERRATED
@@Just_another_Euro_dude Dirk is not a true center. Hakeem is the closest. 95 with old Drexler. 94 Rockets had no HOFers. Which suck cause I love “Beast”
@@charlesnavin4482 "Old Drexler" was about the same age as Hakeem, right? More or less? Still, I know what everyone means with that is that he was past his prime, it wasn't the Phi Slamma Jamma. Nevertheless, give me a veteran all-time great past his prime to play the Finals.
I mentioned this in another thread, if you consider which player in modern NBA history is the GOAT based on NBA roster, I must hand it to Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon!
@@dkdebestlol you young and doesn't know ewing's caliber. That dude can play in any era with his smooth jumper and elite defense. The knicks had been abysmal and never had the chance of competing for a ring even in the melo-amare era once pat was gone. He could have had atleast a ring if he had another superstar teammate
My favorite player all time . these highlights shows me one revelation. That no matter whatever outcomes happened in the NBA . alot of attention was brought to the NBA because of Patrick Ewing. I can remember in the 80s and although larry and magic had them great rivalries. College basketball was getting more hype than the pro game. And although Michael won the chip in the NCAA title and definitely more nba chips. We can say yeah Michael was the greatest. But Patrick started that hoya paranoia. And when he got drafted by the knicks . they were in the hunt throughout his career especially in the 90s. People criticized ewing for not dominating every night but he brought it every night. This man went from a defensive juggernaut in college to one of the best shooting centers of all time. The patent fall away or fade away jumper the best . can shoot from 18 to 20 ft him and rik smits the only centers I seen do that. Dirk dont count . im talking about the development of their games. How many centers we seen developed a game after not having a game in college. Wilt was dominant shaq dominant Kareem that beautiful sky hook. David more of a finesse game from college to pro. Hakeem olajuwon great footwork college to pro. To me it's not about chips. It's about warriors. Ewing stepped up to the challenge. Yes I wud have loved to see him win a chip. But ewing never cheated the fans bad knees and all he never backed down from all the greats. Funny I use to hear marv Albert bring up his fourth qtr free throws in games. But as I remember his career. Him along with Karl Malone was like the only ones who always loved playing the bulls and historically did well against them. Ewing will be blamed and he relished that although he had that love hate relationship with New York. but although we respected mike and yeah we wud have love to win a chip. If I asked most New Yorkers today . if u had to start a team and I dont care he was most talented . if they were the same era. Carmello or ewing. The only fans that wud choose Anthony is these young cats. Matter of fact. I will lobby and say shaq David hakeem Kareem wilt and Patrick . olajuwon wud get the edge but I bet majority wud still choose Patrick.
I was a New York Knicks fan just because of Ewing!! I will never forget that 90s Ewing, Oakley,Mason,Starks,Davis..I used to watch the games 04 h mornings Europen time from Kosovo. There were so close to win that NBA finals. Until today I don’t know why John Starks was trying and trying with those silly 3 points shot’s! He missed all night. Terrible mistake by the coach! Ewing is one of the greatest of all time. Entire the team was on his shoulders.
He attacks the game like a beast, intimidating the opposition. You don't have to know basket ball to see how incredible this guy was. You are spot on with most of your comments.
The weird thing about it. You don’t have enough time to make an all time great moments on Patrick. Every game he played he had a moment. Every game he did a highlight!! This is why he’s the best center
Thanks for this post. Patrick will always be my favorite athlete of all time. I was lucky enough to go see him through his college years as a Hoya and he made me a Knicks fan for life. I always felt he put his all out there every time. Very underrated.
Not the greatest player , not the greatest center , but my personal favorite player of all time . Been a Knick fan since ‘89 , and Patrick was the tip of the spear of those 90’s Knicks teams.
His advanced stats put him in a top 25 player of all time. I get he never won a championship but that due to a lack of help. 9th greatest defender in nba history according to advanced stats!
When the discussion of NBA players who never won a championship ring comes up, Patrick Ewing is forever my number one. I ABSOLUTELY HATE that he didn’t win at least 1.
Although he didn't win a NBA World Title... he still earned a NCAA Championship Ring AND Two Olympic Gold Medals, plus a 11x NBA All Star 🌟 he still did the damn thing!
Is it me, or did NBA players from the our day (even as rookies) look more like mature men. I rarely watch modern NBA, but today's players look like high school kids. I imagine Patrick Ewing running down court on a fast break would flatten a skinny center today trying to defend or block him.
It’s because these guys would have patience and would stay in college for 3-4 years, instead of the bitches now who aim to get to the league as soon as the can, and some of them even avoid college, thinking they know what they’re doing 🤦🏾♂️
Ah the NBA golden age, 80s-90s... I miss those old commentators who were so articulate and added so much to the excitement of the game. Unlike today where they sound like prison inmates trying to sell drugs to each other.
@@kingdarkonda1460 As a lifetime Knicks fan, I can't disagree with you. Hakeem was the best. But I revered Ewing too. From what I recalled from that 1994 Finals, the series went a full 7 games. It's a tribute to two great big men leaders leading two hungry competitive teams.
No statue of Patrick Ewing?Outside MSG,Knicks organization should be ashamed of themselves not honoring NBA legend,he did a lot for franchise hello James Dolan
And sorry about spelling your name wrong but still would realy enjoy your hosipality if i could get payed .hay ther the one that have the cash and fonyou know how much snickjers and pattruc made from thous 3 comershals allot more than i made sence that moment
Basketball is just not the same.. game lost a lot of its soul. 3:36 players now are more athletic but have less fundamentals and overall basketball iq.
I could Patrick in sea first bank in Seattle how Manny of you did and who.brian Lee maricle born nov.26 1971 Oregon that lives in sequim Washington in a Broak down arrow star van gray and reluts Patrick hung and Snickers collaborated. Slam dunk ..I still haven't got a check
Pat Ewing was a choke artist. He played 63 playoff games where he shot under 45%. In the 1994 finals against Hakeem he shot .363 as Hakeem shot 50% and was outscored 27 to 19. Gutless basketball and countless times in a big spot I'd watch him clank foul shots or settle for fadeaway shots. I'd be screaming it's Bill Cartwright, take the goddamn ball to the basket or Rick Smits. Look at these games against Rick Smits? 4 for 15, 8 for 21, 4 for 9, 11 for 24, 0 for 10, 10 for 23, 4 for 10, 9 for 22, 12 for 27, 3 for 11, 6 for 16, 4 for 13, 7 for 16. WTF Rick Smits, not Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell or Lew Alcindor that Willis played against. In the 1970 playoffs before Willis was injured early in game 5 of the finals, Willis Reed scored 266 points and had 120 rebounds against Alcindor and Wilt in 9 games in a row! Not Rick Smits! Lets see if Ewing dominated Cartwright? 9 for 20, 8 for 17, 5 for 15, 3 for 7, 8 for 22, 7 for 16, 5 for 16, 5 for 14, 8 for 19, 13 for 31, 4 for 12, 11 for 25, 7 for 16, 9 for 21, 7 for 17. WTF Bill Cartwright who we called Mr Softee! How about Luc Longley? 9 for 23, 9 for 19, 10 for 21 Luc Blanking Longley and in 3 playoff games in a 5 game series Ewing was 28 for 63! Are we for real with this choke artist? Willis Reed in the 1969 amazing 6 game series against Bill Russell that went 6 games and the Knicks lost games 4 and 6 by ONE POINT in Boston Garden. Maybe Boston got the calls in Boston Garden? Reed shot 56 for 110 scoring 144 points with 81 rebounds. No gagging by Willis against Bill Russell in 1969. 24 and 13.5 shooting 51% Bill Russell played all 48 minutes in 5 of the 6 games and 40 in the other game and yet look at how great Reed was? The nonsense for this Pat Ewing is ridiculous! Rick Smits, Luc Longley, Bill Cartwright? Lets not forget that Ewing had the best team in College three years going 99 and 13 and yet they lost two NCAA title games. He won ONE NCAA title in 3 tries. We should of known in 1985 he was gutless and to think the media compared him to Bill Russell! Lets be honest Pat Ewing can't carry Willis Reed's jockstrap!
@@kingdarkonda1460 is this meant to be comical? Patrick Ewing was number four of the top 4 centers in the 1990s. He never won a championship - Olajuwon had two, O'Neal had four and David Robinson had two; Ewing was never named MVP - Olajuwon was the 1994 NBA MVP and two-time Finals MVP; O'Neal was the 2000 NBA MVP and three-time Finals MVP; even Robinson was the 1995 NBA MVP. Ewing was only named to the All-NBA First Team once in his career - Olajuwon was on six, O'Neal eight and Robinson four. Though Ewing and his New York Knicks was well-known for their defense, Ewing himself never won the Defensive Player of the Year award - both Olajuwon and Robinson did. Then lets see Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Jabbar, Willis Reed, Nate Thurmond, George Mikan, Moses Malone and if he had stayed healthy Bill Walton. Dave Cowens also won 2 NBA titles and could be better. Maybe top 15 alltime? Did you see how he was abused by Olajuwon in the 1994 finals. Ewing choked shooting .363 and allowed Hakeem to shoot .500 scoring 27 a game. Stop being delusional!
@@kingdarkonda1460 May I have what you are drinking? Shaq was a 15 time allstar, a 4 time NBA Champion, twice led the NBA in scoring, was 14 time all NBA, was 3 time all defense, was 3 time all star MVP, was 3 time finals MVP and in his first 12 years averaged 27 and 12 and for his career was 24 and 11. Ewing isn't close to any of that? Willis Reed played the 30 and 16 Lew Alcindor/Kareem and was 15 wins and 6 losses and shot over 50% against him and Ewing shot 41% against the old bald 6 rebound Jabbar who shot 60% against Ewing! Ewing can't carry Reed's jockstrap as Clyde Frazier says all the time. He says Cap or Captain is the greatest Knick not even close. I'll listen to Clyde before your nonsense. He's 4th of 4 of his generation and then as I showed around 10 more better. Ewing was abused against Rik Smits and Bill Cartwright as I showed. Look at these games against Rick Smits? 4 for 15, 8 for 21, 4 for 9, 11 for 24, 0 for 10, 10 for 23, 4 for 10, 9 for 22, 12 for 27, 3 for 11, 6 for 16, 4 for 13, 7 for 16. WTF Lets see if Ewing dominated Cartwright? 9 for 20, 8 for 17, 5 for 15, 3 for 7, 8 for 22, 7 for 16, 5 for 16, 5 for 14, 8 for 19, 13 for 31, 4 for 12, 11 for 25, 7 for 16, 9 for 21, 7 for 17. WTF Even the immortal Luc Longley: 9 for 23, 9 for 19, 10 for 21 Luc Blanking Longley and in 3 playoff games in a 5 game series Ewing was 28 for 63! Are we for real with this choke artist? Go back to your bottle and leave us alone with the nonsense!
@@kingdarkonda1460 Lets see 2000 to 2002 with 3 NBA Titles Shaq averaged 31 and 15, 30 and 15, and 29 and 13 shooting 56% in 58 playoff games. Ewing in the 1994 playoffs shot .437 in 25 playoff games. O'Neill at 56% scoring 30 a game over 58 playoff games and Ewing .437 at 21 a game over 25 games. Ewing shot .469 in the playoffs scoring 20 a game. O'Neill shot .563 in the playoffs averaging 24 a game. Not close! If Shaq had been a 75% foul shooter would have scored around 5 more points a game.
