[@BratatoChip]

Absolutely! Super underrated !

[@elijahruderman]

@@BratatoChip He ain't top 40 all time. Definitely top 50 ever. He was never a top 5 player in the NBA. He was a good, but not great offensive player because of his lack of efficiency. His career playoff field goal percentage is 47%, which is terrible for a center, and it's worse than Jordan's career playoff FG% of 49%. It is also slightly worse than Chris Paul and Reggie Miller, who are guards. However, he is one of the best defensive players ever, and easily could've won a few DPOY's. He led the league in defensive win shares in '93, '94, and '97, and from '87 to '97, he averaged 6.3 defensive win shares per year, which is better than any NBA player has had in a season since Dwight Howard in 2011. He only made the all defense team 3 times, because only two centers can be chosen, which is unfair because Ewing was a top 5 defender every year from ' 89 to '97. Also, he (only) had 10 all star level seasons, from '87 - '97, which is a lot, but not that much when you compare it to other all time greats. Also, he was terrible in the '94 finals, and Hakeem was 3 times as good as him in those finals. He was never an MVP candidate, unlike a lot of guys you would put below on an all time list. His peak was basically what Joel Embiid is now, except if he was healthy, and a little bit more efficient, because Joel Embiid shoots around 40% when he's guarded by Marc Gasol level defenders.

[@antrinh5525]

he does have great touch with his jumper and turn around fade away jumpshot, but another big man with just a a little bit better jumpshot, hakeem the dream, i love the 94-95 season when hakeem vs ewing , that was a battle of the big men. can't see them now a day, now every big man want to shoot 3 and want no part of playing in the post.

Maybe some do not know, but he was head of NBPA in the 90s and he fought for the players, he is the main reason why NBA players get paid this high today, most players who signed at the end of the 80's had shitty, Long-term contracts, and Patrick is the reason why, when they re-signed those contracts, they started making 10s of Millions a year instead of 10's of millions per 7/8 years, and I think he was the highest paid player for a couple of years till MJ came back. Such a class act, and one of the top 10 centers in History, Played the game purely out of love for it, and will be remembered forever.

[@someoneunknown3391]

I was a knicks fan in the 1990s. Patrick Ewing had very lottle talent around him. He didn't get get real good talent around him until 1999 when he really could not play anymore. He had Mark Jackson for a few years, but Pat Riley inexpelicably traded him. It was a terrible trade. It killed the knicks offense for the decade. Patrick is not Michael, but he did great work with lousy talent around him. John Starks did his best, but he is not really good enough to be a #2 on championship team. Knicks front office could havd signed Reggie Miller, but went with Allan Houston to save money. Houston is a nice player. Miller was an HoF.

The legend talks!❤️

[@adrianbilly5158]

My Legend. This guy push me when i was 10 years old to love the game of basketball back in 1992. The Knicks logo perfect in his body......

[@hudsonm3498]

Class act response by Ewing. Media be baiting so they have more material but he responded with sportsmanship and acknowledging maybe he should have.

[@mikeancajas23]

Ewing so happy seeing Jeff holding man so hilarious he swinging with his eyes close..

[@pauljansen1137]

trashtalkers will be trashtalkers..it is just their personality..when you are 80 years old mr. Ewing...michael will still remind you of that huge poster lol!!!

[@hipking23]

Lol 😂

[@markjordan5478]

That pippen dunk tho lol

[@pauljansen1137]

@@markjordan5478 that would be 80 year old mr. Pippen reminding Ewing..and even then MJ would call Ewing and say..remember Scottie posterizing you? lol

[@Mzldy1shari]

Great interview! Patrick Ewing is a class act 🇯🇲 👏🏾

[@terrystarks2507]

Patrick Ewing and John Starks are my favorite Nicks players of all time!

[@inclair8610]

Hands down, yes.....and given where Starks came from, bagging groceries to dunking and guarding MJ.....priceless!

Knicks*

[@manonanisland2712]

@@inclair8610 That dunks Starks did on Jordan and Pip....is low key one of the top 5 game dunks ever.

[@inclair8610]

@michael lee Huh, what is your point ? I am confirming my favorite players for the Knicks. I can't speak on Frazier , ok, so Starks had a very bad game.. what is your point? Smh, still dosen't change the fact that he was my favorite player.

[@aerialshadrone9921]

Starks getting hot was dangerous for opposing teams. Starks getting "hot" in other ways was dangerous for the Knicks. When he was locked in though, that dude was good.

[@tziodim]

i d love to have a grandpa like him !!! his calm voice hypnotises you !!!

[@mikecorker3314]

Man...when Scottie dunked on Ewing and walked over him...smh...still to this day ...I feel some type of way about that..😐😐😅

[@cheickh123]

Deadass everybody in New York wanted to boom him😂😂

[@arealgoodguy]

Don't forget the push down after the dunk.

[@DIBEA-sj1iy]

I’m from Chicago & was on 💯🤔😷🤣

[@mrblack6439]

Beyond savage, he pushed him and walked over him.

[@jcashkingofdamajors]

I was about to buy a pair of Ewing’s one day and I remember that dunk. Long story short I ended go buying some Jordan’s 😭

[@nungiceman]

Patrick Ewing, what a class act! Absolute legend!

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

This is a guy who had a good face up game and jumper in an era where big men were not shooting the ball from the perimeter. The knicks still have not truly recovered after Ewing's career ended. They had a few good years with Melo, but they were never the serious championship contenders that they were with Ewing.

[@SumMumBoMum]

Thank you Patrick for the great years of basketball you give to your fans.

[@damonm.]

I'm pretty sure he did. Wasn't Ewing an assistant coach with the Hornets before he got the Georgetown job?

[@2KILLAVILLE]

Oakley was involved with the Hornets also..MJ, Ewing & Oak all were close & tight at some point. To this day MJ & Oak still real cool now

[@chrisspencer4093]

Yeah

[@shawnshepard2939]

Not Horents Orlando

[@alexobed4252]

So humble. Love Patrick.

[@captainsnake7406]

Patrick almost broke that last dude's hand with the high five ✋

[@PathtoYahawah]

Captain Snake 😆

[@ronque23]

A class act as always! The Knicks loss is the Hoyas gain and I hope he’s there for as long as he wants and has tons of success!

[@tyrone4u559]

Ewing - class act

[@wv8071]

Patrick Ewing, Class Act! Great interview.

[@nikeetime7581]

My man Pat was the truth, always left it on the floor!!!🏀👏

[@AxeKick80]

Damn...I remember getting really excited for the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. I was in fifth grade. I had just seen my first Olympics with the Albertville winter ones earlier that year. And then seeing a bunch of my favorite basketball players going to the Olympics together...man, that was awesome.
