Patrick missed a lot of big shots because he wasn't afraid to take them. He got dunked on a lot because he wasn't afraid to be dunked on. They don't make players like this anymore. Legend!
Loved Ewing, my favorite player of all time, maybe in any sport. A 7-footer with a finesse game, speed, agility, and also power. There wasn't anything he couldn't do.
Ewing was an excellent player! I really enjoyed him and the other Knicks in the '90s. I'm glad he was inducted into the Hall of Fame! Well deserved honor.
Patrick Ewing did almost what Hakeem did stat wise on bad knees. He got injured badly early on and the NBA never saw what a healthy knees Ewing could do. He would have been faster, gotten more pts, steals, blocks.
+JT Hunter you're legitimately a dumb shit. If we adjust his numbers to today, including the percentages of his era compared to today, it'd look like this for his '89-'90 season: 25.5 points 11.0 rebounds 2.6 assists 3.7 blocks 0.9 steals .529 FG% .775 FT% Not as good as originally, but he would be certainly considered for All-NBA 1st team.
I can't believe the amount of people who disrespect Ewing. He is a top 25 player. People say he choked in big moments, but at least he didn't shy away from them
When I talk defense. This is who comes to mind. Thank god the knicks got this young player ( Mitchell Robinson ) as a center. Dude is showing defense like crazy. Feel like if he bulks up more and learns a lot more. He has potential to be a Ewing. That’s why I have much respect for the spurs and popavich, they always focused on defense. That’s why they’ve always been able to secure a playoff spot for so many consecutive years.
Ewing truly deserved a Championship. More so than Barkley, Malone... no offense to those guys. Patrick was a true ALPHA during those Knicks years. Didn’t back down and had a real complete game. A true intimidator
I hate how people try to play Ewing about getting dunked on by Pippen & Jordan, but rarely speak on how Ewing dunked on them & how many of their shots he blocked.
I forget how great he was in his prime. My greatest Knick disappointment was to never see him play with Bernard King. I just knew that was gonna be something to see.
the reason Pat never won a title was the bad energy associated w/ how the Knicks got that #1 pick. you cant have stuff like that happen and expect a good outcome
This man was an embodiment of NYC during the time he played here..passionate, strong, and energetic..I miss the game the way it was played..I don’t watch now..it has become soft, silly, with a bunch of guys throwing up 3’s..can’t touch anyone without a foul!
I wish modern basketball still emphasized the Big Man. Today, Big Men are a non-issue and non-effective. Back in the day, guys like Ewing, Hakeem, Robinson, Shaq were SUPERSTARS!
best center ever. no center can make jump shot like him. . no championships because he was alone in team . robinson got duncan . jordan got pippen. malone got stockton. olajuwon got maxwell. but who was there for ewing ! starks made 2-18 shots in game 7 but he was a good shooting guard. check my channel to see what the classic knicks was like.
Olajuwon was all by himself bro what are you talking about? It's common knowledge that Olajuwon outplayed and almost dominated Ewing 95% of the time! But I do consider Ewing better then Robinson and Shaq tho!
come on dude. we all know he didn't dominate ewing. both of them were so tough in those playoff games . but in game 7 hakeem was a little bit better than ewing. ewing my not be better than hakeem in that year. but in 92 and 93 he was better than the dream
in the late 80s and early 90s Ewing was better, but then in the mid 90s Olajuwon was a lot better than Pat. His knees worsened every year, and Olajuwon matured his game in his 30s.
For the record, Ewing hit many game winners and clutch shots. Ewing DID play with some great talent, also: Allan Houston regularly outplayed Reggie Miller, for example, and, in my opinion, is one of the best pure shooters of all time. He also had Mark Jackson, Doc Rivers, John Starks, Sprewell, of course, Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley. Fact is that Houston Rockets could easily have lost the 94 championship to the Knicks. It was very close. Ewing also would have, in my opinion beaten the 99 Spurs, alongside Sprewell and Houston, if he wasn't hacked and taken out of action by Andrew Lang - during the Hawks series that he played so well in. Insofar as Jordan being in the way, it can be argued that with Allan Houston as a #1 or #2 option, depending on your assessment, Ewing finally overcomes the Bulls in 98, when the Ward - PJ Brown debacle got the Knicks eliminated by the Miami Heat. A lot of stuff, unless you are an all time great at your position, e.g., Shaq or Jordan, is about having the stars align for you, at the right time.
not a huge fan but I loved when he'd hunt down blocked shots, protecting "his" area down low, kinda a lost art and even a feeling of self responsibility to do it anymore.
sedaberry makes me sad to when I think of NBA today not just Knicks! It was so much passion, defense..physical game and actually was so much dramatically until last second! Most of the game didn’t know the winner until lost shot.
I always liked ewing more when his limited and knew what he could do. Just up there with Wilt, Russel, Kareem, Shaq, Hakeem, Yao, and probably AD sometime in the future.
Why couldn't I have been born in the 80s instead of the late 90s so I could've grown up watching 90s basketball. I can't stand today's NBA because it's all about who can score more threes instead of who's gonna set the tone and physically dominate the other team
EWING ATHLETICS..... forget about the Jordans for one second Ewing Athletics 33 hi best basketball sneaker gonna to buy.... even 2 Chainz is rocking that shit I recommend the 33 hi but you can get the Rogue and that shit is nice too
my start I g 5 will always be John Stockton kobe bryant Denis Rodman Karl Malone and Patrick Ewing off the bench magic ,gary payton,LeBron James,tim duncan, David Robinson.
But are those skills entertaining? No. This is a highlights video, and jumpers aren't as exciting as dunks. Good point though, a few more clips showing his other skills would have been nice.
+Adrian Guerrero I'm a knicks fan, but this is an absurd statement. Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Bill Russell, Olajuwan and (arguably) David Robinson are all ahead of Pat. That being said, I wouldn't have traded Pat for any of these guys. I loved the 90s era knicks and Pat was the linchpin of all those fiercely competitive teams.
underrated player.....rememeebr jordan given all 6 by refs same as lew, ruleys knicks robbed shoulda won titel from bulls but TV wanted jordan amde a demigod same as lew and diet jordans....all bs like silicon valley musk obama and democrat fascist shit
Patrick Ewing might be the most underrated player of all time. Never had a fantastic supporting cast. Always productive. Team always contended. Great on both ends. Just played at the wrong time.
Absolutely correct! Ewing was the only knick that i liked and respected because i rooted for the bulls as a kid back then and hated the Knicks. But now i feel bad for the Knicks damn your team owner and management same for my bulls we have nothing ro cheer about this season but whomever get the top pick in the draft will get Mt. Zion.
Irish67 the way I look at it. He had a terrible supporting cast especially on the offensive end. If Ewing had had someone like Reggie Miller or Clyde Drexler, I think he definitely would have won a title.
