  • One of the subconscious negatives of competition is realizing that someone has to lose. Someone has to wear that loss until the next time they win. The thing about sports and age is, you may never win and as you age, those chances fade even more. Well, unless you golf.. Patrick Ewing was one of the best players to ever play the game of basketball. A generational big man, that won a championship in college and drafted as the #1 pick to change the Knick’s future and win in an era traditional big men were still having success. He’s a 2 time olympic gold medalist and named one of the 50 greatest players ever in 1996.. But every year, as more great players emerge and more of them accomplish the one thing Patrick couldn’t, his name slips down the list. Here are 3 reasons Patrick Ewing’s basketball career didn’t live up to some of the other great big men of the game. I think whenever speaking about a former Knick player, you always have to first look at the franchise in itself before accessing whether they played a hand in the players growth stunt. For whatever reason history has shown their decision making to not be the soundest and with Patrick Ewing, he was in the prime of that franchises bad movie making career.I think whenever speaking about a former Knick player, you always have to first look at the franchise in itself before accessing whether they played a hand in the players growth stunt.

      He never played with another hofer during the period of the Knicks contending years , the only one he did play with who was Bernard King , tenure with Patrick Ewing wasn't when the Knicks were apex contenders ,and was only for 1 season .That's Ewing's stunted growth ,he simply didn't have the adequate help needed to fulfill winning a championship . Another potential Hofer who Patrick Ewing played alongside Mark Jackson wasn't considered worthy enough to be compensated financially amongst the top tier point guards when his contract ran out which certainly had a hand in the missing titles on Ewing's resume as well as Jackson's .

    the Knicks have a big responsibility in Ewing's lack of rings. They never built an adequate team around him. However, I feel many people overestimate the importance of rings won in evaluating a player. Championships are won by teams, not by single players. Several different factors involved. Winning is important but it's not the only thing that should be considered

    Growing up in NYC and a die- hard Knicks fan, I respected Patrick's heart and effort that he displayed on the court but having to keep trying to fight through Jordan's Bulls teams in an already tough Eastern Conference took its toll. One of the reasons Patrick didn't win a ring outside of Michael Jordan was Pat Riley ego for keeping John starks in game 7 instead of putting in Hubert Davis or Rolando Blackman .

      I loved starks but everyone knew how streaky he was. Brilliant game 6 horrid game 7. I'm shocked more people don't blame starks like they blame Charles Smith. Starks game was all time worse in history of the finals & it was a game 7. They just need that game they win it all Ewing gets his ring. Smith got stuffed excruciatingly like 8 times in a row & is hard to watch. I know it was a huge game to not lose home court & to beat mj they worked so hard all year for hoke court. Which is so easily taken away in one playoff game. Anyway the Knicks everyone knew were done in 93 as they just could not beat the bulls in Chicago & usually got destroyed. Which they did. I remember after the Smith game nobody in my family wanted to watch anymore. Lol. I'm not kidding the Knicks were still alive but beating mj in Chicago was a sad formality of not gonna happen.

    He’s in my Top 10 Centers all time, Ewing was a beast and never cheated the game. The injuries, bad press, lack of talented teammates, whatever, it didn’t matter. You knew that if you saw that box fade, knee pads, and #33 you were getting your money’s worth.
    He’s always thrown in with the Malones, Stockton’s, Barkley’s etc., but to me Ewing had a legitimate excuse. He’s the HOFer that played with the least amount of talent all time. Who was his 2nd best teammate? Oakley? Starks? And Pat was taking them to the Finals. Idc what nobody says, you can’t think of 90s basketball without Ewing.

      @@vizionaryentertainment8464 Ok, so you disagree with my point for being included with the Malones, Stocktons, Barkley’s, etc., which is a completely different point from your first reply.
      Now first, you disagree with him not being in with said other greats, but did nothing to refute my point; Patrick Ewing had the least amount of talent around him for a superstar of all time. The only thing you did was name the only other superstar who has done it in modern times (post-ABA merger):Hakeem (for his first ring) and Bill Walton. The only other to do it before Hakeem and Bill Walton was Wilt Chamberlain. You’re killing Ewing’s stature for something that had only happened 3 times in the NBA’s 80+ years of existence. And you’re grading him against players I didn’t compare him to. I’d never make the argument that he’s better than the players you listed, but I do feel Patrick Ewing is better than Barkley, Malone, and Stockton and other players from the era who were affected by the Jordan Effect. Patrick Ewing had 2 NBA Finals appearances in his NBA career, where he was either the de facto leader or elder statesmen for those teams and THEY BOTH HAPPENED ON THE KNICKS.
      Malone was playing next to another HOFer in Stockton, Chuck asked for help and got KJ (who was an all star), and I’m a bigger fan of Barkley but I’m being completely honest about legacy ranking. The 2 best players Patrick Ewing played with was John Starks and Oakley. While other legends played with Top 50 players in their prime, like The Dream (w/ Clyde) and Mailman (w/Stockton), Pat was with players who’d probably wouldn’t crack the Top 300 and he still made it up there to the Finals twice, which is more than Barkley, Iverson, and Reggie Miller, and equal to Malone and Stockton’s Finals appearances. I’d say Pat Ewing is the middle bridge that separates the Malones and Barkleys, from the Robinsons and the Hakeems.
      I’ll even take it a step further on the only player on your list who I’m gonna take a shot at: David Robinson. David Robinson got his two rings, not in his prime, but only after he got Tim Duncan. If you take out the rings pre-Duncan, David Robinson’s resume won’t come close to Pat Ewing, it wouldn’t even be better than Reggie Miller, if we’re being straight up.

    Ewing was expecting a bump on that miss layup Antonio or Dale stayed back. He put a little extra for the contact that never came then there goes the back iron. You’re not gonna stop MJ but I think Xavier McDaniel helped neutralize Pippen (took the Bulls to game 7 in 92). I also feel Riley should take some blame. If Starks is on fire in game 6 only Mason or Oakley set picks (no need for a P&R option since Olajuwon is good at covering ground on a switch). Game 7 I blame Riley and Starks because most people know you get out of a slump by attacking the basket and free throws. Because of injury Ewing’s prime was when he first got in the league up to about 90-91.

    Great video man I really got a good perspective on Ewing , I slowdown though he was amazing and in any other era he’d help get a ring , but Jordan took 6 years out many talent players prime , and those who came in the 80s had to deal with LA , Boston , Detroit , then Chicago , it was a tough time to try and get a ring

    If he had a player as good as Pippen he’d have at least two rings. In 94, Hakeem was just better. But the Knicks still took them to 7. I’m glad I was young in 94 because Idk how you can get over a game 7 finals loss.

    This video details Patrick Ewing's Hall of Fame career respectfully. Of course he fell short against the likes of the great Michael Jordan and the amazing Hakeem Olajuwon if you look at his career. But one thing was for certain, Patrick indeed displayed his tremendous heart night in and night out. And as a Knicks fan, I will always respect that. The 1999 1st round playoff series against the Miami Heat displayed that heart. Hobbling up and down the court. Patrick had no business being on that floor throughout that 5 game series. Knicks don't beat the Heat without him. He still outplayed his fellow Hoya Destroyers in Mourning and Mutombo during those 1999 playoffs on one leg.

    Growing up a fan of the terrible New Jersey Nets I always hated the Knicks. When I say hate, I mean hate with a passion too.
    But even with a Knicks hater, Patrick Ewing has the total respect of any NBA fan watching the game in his era.
    This guy was a legend and did everything right. It's a shame he doesn't have a few rings, he certainly deserved a couple of them. Poor guy was always surrounded by overhyped barely average players.

  • @inandoutoftheabyss9953

    Imagine how hyped Dwight howard was....imagine all the gifts dwight had...
    Now that you have that image, give him a mid-range jumper, better hands, better awareness, better footwork, more toughness and a better off-hand...that's PAtrick Ewing. It Pat Ewing came into the league in the mid-2000s like Dwight, Pat would be looked at like the next Shaq.
    Always got love for Ewing. Wish he had better luck. Imagine if he somehow was a Spur with TD, PArker, Bowen, Manu, etc...instead of David Robinson.
    If i analyze his whole game on both ends... i dont know if I have ever seen a player like him. He was like if you made Karl Malone a 7' center.
    LeBron's best type of sidekick is low-key an athletic big who set great screens, catches every pass, rolls smartly and finishes on both sides with either hand, but can also hit pick and pop jumpers. Look in 2003, LeBron and Boozer, two young dudes, ran Pick and Roll like veterans. It was fun to watch. Then, LeBrons best sidekick in three straight playoffs was ANDERSON VAREJAO who he always hit on pick and rolls. I wish he could have played with a more dynamic big, earlier... like if Boozer stayed, if Amare went to CLE, if Bosh was more of a threat to dunk anytime on anyone, instead of mainly being a 18 foot threat in MIA.
    I think LeBron's best fit out of all the historic teams to this date, in my opinion, would have been to take Steve Nash's place at PG of the Suns with Amare, Shawn, Joe Johnson, etc...if he has all those shooters and a roll man like Amare....nobody would have ever seen anything like that.
    My off-topic-ass point is, Pat Ewing would have been fun to watch with LeBron. He could have tossed it to him in the post and had hiim get his own, he could have found himinside on PnRs or he could have him spread the floor with 15-20 foot jumpers
    Sorry, this is what happens when youre a millenial basketball fan from Akron. You imagine what it would have been like if LeBron played with _______ or ________.

    You do know that Pat played most of the 1994-1995 season on a bad leg, right? That layup against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals had nothing to do with heart. His leg finally gave up on him and he couldn’t get up high enough to where that would’ve been a usual dunk of Pat’s.

    Patrick Ewing had the best one hand jam thank you ma'am dunks of all time if anyone can prove me wrong more power to you but I can't say I wasn't a next friend I was at Seattle supersonic fan all because of my stunning growth Shawn Kemp and only reason why Shawn Kemp was my favorite basketball player of all time is because I used to play 101 with a good friend of mine that used to beat my ass because I was fresh off the boat from Jamaica didn't know what basketball was but over the time and years I became a beast so my story goes when we still have the upper deck basketball cards we used to play 101 and I've told him the first player that I pick from open the upper deck will be my favorite player and sure enough it was Shawn Kemp

    I don't know about the not enough around him stuff during his prime stuff, that really is a Jordan thing. The Knicks mid 90s were loaded and good enough to get to the Finals. Starks was no scrub and could catch fire at any moment. Derek Harper was solid, Greg Anthony. Their front court was crazy strong. Always loved Anthony Mason. Ewing will always be considered a winner even with no chip.
