@@rizqiereza4835 Ewing got doubled and triple teamed the whole series. As soon as he made a move, help converged. He also set the record for blocks in a final series at the time.
Although he failed to bring my city a championship, I'd give just about anything to have him back in his prime again. At least then we were competitive.
It would be cool if he played during the same time melo was in New York. He’d get more recognition because he was significantly better then every Center except Dwight Howard and they may have won a ring
I believe if his knees weren't so screwed up. He would've been in a better argument for most dominant and efficient center. Would've been nice to see him win a ring.
The problem is he was good at everything but wasn’t great at anything. He was a good, but not great shooter, he was a good inside scorer, but not a great inside scorer. He was a good defender, but not a great one. He had no specific quality that made him a superstar. Shaq had that ELITE inside game Hakeem has his unstoppable dream shake and supreme defense Alonzo Mournings defense Ewing was good at all of that, but not all time
6ix9ine Solid description. He’s underappreciated, but definitely not being “shafted” when it comes to all-time great lists. I’d say he WAS great at all those things, but not ELITE. But your point stands and it is why he was behind them.
This was an awesome video Low. This makes me like Patrick Ewing even more and I already loved him on the knicks and I’m a knicks fan. Thanks for standing up for the knicks GOAT
I remembered my dad cried in the car one day reminiscing about the Pat Ewing day’s of the Knicks because they never gave him another superstar around him. Very great player and i wore 33 growing up because i used to play center just like he did
Did yall notice how Shaq always had great teams around him his whole career? Magic- Penny Lakers- Kobe and Phil (arguably the best coach ever) Miami- Prime DWade and Pat Riley coaching Cavs- LeBron Suns- Nash and Stoudemire Celtics- KG, Pierce, Ray and Doc coaching Imagine if Ewing had teams as good as these...
@@nerdstop5025 He only played on a good team in his prime on the suns. The sixers were good when he was very young but that was during a loaded east and they were getting old
I was born in 2003, I was never there to see the greatness of the 90s(luckily I have my NBA superfan of a dad to tell me stories) but how I wish I could see all those great big men battling it out. Of course the big man isn't dead like some people say, but I doubt I will ever see a player like Hakeem, Robinson or my favorite of them all Ewing again.
Ewing all day. To appreciate Ewing is to watch him play on a bad achilles and still school cats bf it snapped in the conference finals. He was a baller!!! a warrior, a real one!!!
Sums up the issue in the last few minutes. Played while Olajuwon, O'Neal and Robinson were playing at a comparable level. Even in his early years you still had Kareem and Moses putting up numbers
you hit it on the head....statistically players like T Chandler and B Wallace and D Howard would have gad less defensive respect had they played in Ewings era... Ewing was a defensive stalwart and one of the top 10 defensive anchors ever and he stands above many players that have won the DPOY award in the years following Ewings career and prime... Ewing played in the golden age of Centers in NBA History
He is in the same league of guys like Shaq, The Admiral, The Dream, Moses, KArem, etc...... BUT - he does not have a ring. That´s the only reason he is underrated.
That 99 postseason run was incredible Though Ewing did get hurt in the Eastern conference finals and didn't play for the rest of the playoffs That's still incredible that an 8th seat made the NBA finals
People forget how great this man is. I watched MJ’s double-nickel game, and looking back, I never realized how dominant Ewing was in that game. He’s easily the greatest Knick of all time, 🚫 🧢
His best chance was in 1997. The Knicks had reloaded their roster with Houston, Johnson and Childs. Unfortunately, the suspensions during the playoffs killed them
The Knicks most likely would of won that year if there was no suspension. They were the best team after the all-star break. That team gelled perfectly midway though the season
@@Terror832 The two best teams in the NBA that year were the Knicks and the Bulls...the Jazz were a distant third (and I say that with all due respect to Utah). A 1997 ECF between the Knicks and Bulls would have been epic and quite possibly led to the dethroning of the Bulls but I am biased towards the 90s Knicks.
I applaud you, (who cares ) have changed my mind about Ewing . Jordan never won until he had a supporting cast I have always known he had puss for a supporting cast . I think the Knicks were an adaption of the Pistons , but the rules would not favor them . Well done .
My earliest basketball memories are from the mid 90s onward and the way I remember that era, Ewing was definitely not underappreciated in his time. I feel like the dialogue around him was that he was basically an automatic hall of famer. Clashes with the Bulls were legendary, just ask Spike Lee. However, the winds of time have definitely been less favorable to Ewing than they have to other players you mentioned like Barkley and Malone but it depends where your knowledge of Ewing is coming from. He seems to appeal less and less to younger fans and players, but anyone who watched the game actively while he was playing for the Knicks has applied the eye test and would probably argue that he's a top ten center of all time. Basically if you remember that John Starks could spontaneously take over a quarter despite not being a consistent All-Star caliber player then you probably also remember how consistently excellent Ewing was.
Not many conversations about him, but I never knew his greatness was ever in question. The lynchpin of that franchise. Pressure put on him every night to perform at a high level on both ends with no second star to help shoulder any of those responsibilities or take them over if he had a bad night or was hurt.
Doubt you really read this but just wanna take the time out to say thanks for the vids man. Actually inspired me to not only make my own channel and vids, but to even try to be a pro sports analyst all together. Great work bro and thank you✊🏾
I don't really think he was underappreciated, maybe he became so by some younger fans but to me he even felt kind of overappreciated, because he played in one of the biggest markets in their last great NBA era and he was a truly positive figure for all we know. Everybody ranks Pat in the top 50 and often top 30 players of all-time, in the top 10 centers, as one of the greatest Knicks ever, and so on. Everybody who knows a little about basketball knows him as a great college player, the face of the New York Knicks, and a defensive presence to be reckon with. Then, there is the fact that he didn't win a ring (tough when you have to play Jordan's Bulls and Hakeem's Rockets) and played in a decade where other great centers were around the place, so maybe that's why you could say he is "underappreciated". I think most people value him correctly, he's not in the same discussion as the top 5 centers but comes right after alongside David Robinson, Alonzo Mourning, Dwight Howard (who's arguably more underappreciated) There is also the "Ewing theory" of 1999 when his team played better as he got hurt, which may be a reason for some people to underrate him.
I'm taking Patrick as the 5th best center of all-time, and yes I'm taking him over Olajuwon solely based on his leadership, unbelievable grit, and heart. Olajuwon may be the better player, but I'm still taking Pat every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Oh yeah, there is no doubt in my mind Patrick is better than Robinson as well, and that one isn't even close. #KNICKSTAPE #HOYADESTROYA
The NY Knicks royally screwed up the opportunity to have Bernard King and Ewing play together. The intensity of those two would have even stiffled Michael Jordan. Especially in Jordan's first 6 years. After that I don't know how they could be so inept at getting Ewing another dominant player. The Knicks ownership and management is still inept! I always said when he was playing that NY did not fully appreciate Patrick Ewing and that they'd regret that - well when Ewing retired they were never able to get another player or have another run like when Ewing was leading in a talent packed era. Ewing played in the time of the bigs - dominant centers and with Jordan! He still excelled!
He never played with another all star player. The man consistently took it to every other big in the league. Even Shaq calls him a top 5 all time center. He was literally taking Jordan's bulls to 7 games by himself. Hell, he even took Hakeem to 7 games and could've won if Starks didn't play so badly. Give him another star and he has a ring.
for all the winning that ewing did in college, he was a tortured soul in his nba playing career with no one realizing how little taletn the knicks had. his best supporting cast in his prime was pat rilley, who was a coach and not a player on the court! John Starks was great for wht he was but in no way shape or form was he a bonafide reliable second star.
Well yeah but you do have to compare him to his peers, and he was clearly below D-Robinson, Shaq and Olajuwon. He might be slightly underrated but that's about it really.
Maybe since the modern era, but he ain't win them a championship. Dont disrespect the guys that actually won it all like Earl the Pearl or Walt Frazier
PATRICK EWING IS A SUPERSTAR . HE IS A GREAT PLAYER . HE IS A 10 TEN CENTER EVER . PATRICK PLAYED WITH GERALD WILKINS WHO HAD 1 SEASON WHERE AVERAGED 20. PTS. , ANOTHER SEASON WHERE HE. ALMOST. AVERAGED 20 . JOHN STARKS. HAD SEASONS WHERE HE. WAS. CLOSE. TO. AVERAGING 20. PTS . XAVIER MCDANIEL WAS RIGHT THERE . THE 1 SESAON IN PLAYED WITH PATRICK .

THREATS . THAT. THE. OPOSSING. TEAMS. WOULD. HAVE TO. GUARD AS. WELL . INSTEAD. OF. JUST. DUMPING. THE BALL TO. PATRICK EWING EVERYTIME. DOWN THE. FLOOR AND. THE DEFENSE KEYING IN ON HIM .>🎤
At 90s he has lost playoff series only to chicago. Indiana (3-3) and miami(3-1) at the eastern conference. No other team never beat ewing and knicks. This is why I thing he was real warrior and true leader.
Still think the best team the Knicks had with Ewing was 1996-97 when they had Ewing, Oakley, Starks, Allan, Houston, LJ, and other role players. Problem was that team was stupid enough to leave the bench and get involved in a fight with the Knicks which cost them the series eventually.
I dislike putting Shaq in the same debate with the likes of Ewing, Olajuwon and, Robinson because these centers had many years on Shaq. In regards to Ewing vs Shaq, like video stated, Ewing never had superstar players on his Knicks teams.
I Think most people underrate him. I mean even 2k does it i Think he every year should have a Galaxy opal and be competitive at some point during the year (doesnt have to be the Galaxy opal thats competitive). But thats just a thought
Before even watching I agree. Ewing is mad disrespected. Ewing would kick butt in today's league with his abilities and athleticism. Personally I'd rate him at 5th-8th all time at center
Not underrated by me. When we got the NBA here in Australia in the 90's there were 2 player's I loved watching. Hakeem and Ewing. I just liked Hakeem more which is why I chose to follow the Rockets.
at the end you should have made one last comparative analyst of Ewing vs the top 7 or 8 or even 10 of the 90's best centers... also Ewing had great playoff success and he beat up on some great players in the postseason
Do a video on Chris bosh I swear he’s one of the most underrated players in NBA history 11x all star in 12 seasons 17k points 8k rebounds averaged 20 ppg and 7 rbg per game for his career 2 time champ and more
It’s weird I’m a New Yorker and we love and respect tf outta Ewing so hearing that he’s under appreciated is new to me but when I think ab it I’m actually not surprised to hear this
Great video, Ewing is pretty underrated which seems crazy but true. He wasn’t quite Hakeem or Shaq but just right below them. He’s for sure a top tier big man in NBA history. Shame he didn’t get a ring
Hes definitely one of the best defenders also a player who should have won DPOY even during his career he did kind of develop a 3pt shot but he gets ranked lower because of that bad series in 94 finals where hakeem destroyed him in that series also missed a open wide game winner aganist the pacers
This notion that David Robinson was better than Patrick, didn’t take hold until AFTER they both retired. And if the Knicks had drafted Duncan instead of the Spurs, and Patrick had won two rings right before he retired, nobody would say that Robinson was better.
Dude only put up 1 season with PER higher than 25. Peak Ewing, 10 seasons (ish) was 22.5 PER, 2.0 OBPM, 2.0 DBPM with a 0.172 ws/48 With peak ORTG not even being top 250 all time and peak DRTG being top 20 (18th) A comparable player to Patrick Ewing is peak Dwight Howard.
So Scottie dunks on Ewing once...I vividly remember Ewing blocking Scottie's shots in dramatic fashion on numerous occasions. People also forget Ewing had a leg injury in that finger roll game...no lift
But the reason why the Pippen dunk was so "WOOAAAAH!" was because Ewing was so great. Remember Deandre Jordan's lob dunk where the defender gets obliterated? Well imagined the Defender is the one dunking, and obliterating DJ instead. That's why the Pippen dunk means something :)
Ewing Mattingly Lundqvist all loved by New Yorkers they performed at the highest levels Ewing and Lundqvist ESPECIALLY had no help. No award winners/top level players alongside them. Not everyone wins a ring, thats how team sports work and thats ok, their legacy is permanent.
Ewing not on David Robinson level is hilarious 🤣 😆 😂 he used to shit on the admiral he beat Olajuwon in college for the chip and he used to outplay a young Shaq and he averaged 28 a game in 89'-90 hakeem was better and I guess Shaq being bigger and playing bully ball was better but Ewing was a far more skilled basketball 🏀 player TO SAY HES NOT ON THEIR LEVEL IS LUDACRIS especially Robinson
Top 10 centers of all time 1. Kareem Abdul-Jabber 2. Shaquille O’Neal 3. Hakeem Olajuwon 4. Bill Russell 5. Wilt Chamberlain 6. Moses Malone 7. David Robinson 8. Patrick Ewing 9. Dwight Howard 10. Willis Reed This is where I rank Big Pat as a center
Imagine if John Stark didn’t go cold in game 7 or made the shot in game 6? Patrick Ewing gets a ring and more respect now that sounds kool
John Starks went full Westbrick. Imagine if social media was around. They would be clowning him nonstop.
Game 7 Starks describes Harden, Westbrook, and Derozan in the Playoffs😂😂
If john didn't go cold, he would've won the finals mvp. Ewing shot 36% from the field that series
@@rizqiereza4835 Ewing got doubled and triple teamed the whole series. As soon as he made a move, help converged. He also set the record for blocks in a final series at the time.
Harper probably would have gotten mvp. Rockets had a great gameplan for him. They took their chances with the Knicks outside shooters.
Although he failed to bring my city a championship, I'd give just about anything to have him back in his prime again. At least then we were competitive.
AMEN!!!
It would be cool if he played during the same time melo was in New York. He’d get more recognition because he was significantly better then every Center except Dwight Howard and they may have won a ring
@@yungtago9161 no they wouldn't not with Melo
@@debrahoffman4673 I think they could have, pairing Ewing with a 25-30 ppg scorer like Melo in his prime would be a deadly duo
I am not a Knicks fan but you know what when Ewing was playing the Knicks were competitive
You know why?
"The Pippen Dunk"
That is what the new generation know him by
Pat was posterised alot in his carrer, but all big men have
The MJ dunk too
@@tmac731 who cares about that the Pippen dunk is the best posterizer of all time
Debra Hoffman that’s close. What about Lebron vs Jason, or DeAndre Jordan vs Brandon Knight
@@tmac731 so we just ignoring dwade on varejao or Perkins
I believe if his knees weren't so screwed up. He would've been in a better argument for most dominant and efficient center.
Would've been nice to see him win a ring.
He gave it his best, but came up short.
Lol he's s so underrated I've literally never seen him on an underrated players list
Under appreciated
Imagine having this take after watching this video.
The problem is he was good at everything but wasn’t great at anything. He was a good, but not great shooter, he was a good inside scorer, but not a great inside scorer. He was a good defender, but not a great one. He had no specific quality that made him a superstar.
Shaq had that ELITE inside game
Hakeem has his unstoppable dream shake and supreme defense
Alonzo Mournings defense
Ewing was good at all of that, but not all time
6ix9ine how is he not a great defender? Man averaged 3 blocks a game for his prime, and yes i know blocks arent everything on defense

Ewing is the only player who ever really competed with shaq in the paint and every year consistently pushed the bulls to a limit
Did yall notice how Shaq always had great teams around him his whole career?
Magic- Penny
Lakers- Kobe and Phil (arguably the best coach ever)
Miami- Prime DWade and Pat Riley coaching
Cavs- LeBron
Suns- Nash and Stoudemire

Imagine if Ewing had teams as good as these...
This is the basis for Barkley’s argument whenever Shaq is a dick to him out of nowhere about him not having a ring
@@willbaldwin8031 but Barkley also played with great talent, so shaq picking on him was justified
Gamer Kenny who? any all stars for a solid time?

This was the nicest way to say that Ewing played with bums

His best chance was in 1997. The Knicks had reloaded their roster with Houston, Johnson and Childs. Unfortunately, the suspensions during the playoffs killed them
Charlie Ward really f***ed up. I was looking forward to a Bulls vs Knicks 1997 ECF.

Great comment.
Really thoughtful and insightful examination of Patrick's career as a Knick.
The knicks actually made it to the finals twice 1994 lost to Hakeem, 1999 lost to Duncan/Robinson and the ECF lost in 1995 vs Shaq.
You're correct..except in '95 N.Y. lost in the ECSF to Indiana, almost coming back from being down 3-1 in the series, losing in game 7.

Absolutely love how LOW can be professional one minute then play around another....a gangster and a gentleman
Two oxymorons
Pat is one of guys that Shaq has mad respect for.

Ewing easily wtf
Gotta be Ewing they're both amazing defensively but Pat got the edge on offense
Stopppp this shouldn’t be a question

5th-8th all time at center

Do a video on Chris bosh I swear he’s one of the most underrated players in NBA history 11x all star in 12 seasons 17k points 8k rebounds averaged 20 ppg and 7 rbg per game for his career 2 time champ and more
First you discredit the all nba argument and then use is to show that Ewing never had an elite teammate?
Excellent video. I agree with all of your points.
It’s weird I’m a New Yorker and we love and respect tf outta Ewing so hearing that he’s under appreciated is new to me but when I think ab it I’m actually not surprised to hear this
Great video, Ewing is pretty underrated which seems crazy but true. He wasn’t quite Hakeem or Shaq but just right below them. He’s for sure a top tier big man in NBA history. Shame he didn’t get a ring
Hes definitely one of the best defenders also a player who should have won DPOY even during his career he did kind of develop a 3pt shot but he gets ranked lower because of that bad series in 94 finals where hakeem destroyed him in that series also missed a open wide game winner aganist the pacers
Ewing is a top 5 center all time. I thought that was a concencous thought
Great video Ewing still is my favorite player
Love your videos
I actually think Patrick Ewing was a better player than David Robinson. Patrick Ewing never played with Tim Duncan.
He was better than both of them.
A good and honest commentary. Great video.
This notion that David Robinson was better than Patrick, didn’t take hold until AFTER they both retired.
And if the Knicks had drafted Duncan instead of the Spurs, and Patrick had won two rings right before he retired, nobody would say that Robinson was better.
Ewing is better
I got the discord noti before the youtube one 😂😂
Can you send me the link to the discord? The one in the description isn’t working for me
Definitely unrated and one of the best centers. If he had another star that could put up twenty plus a game he would’ve got a chip for sure.
John starks wasn't that good for him
My favorite TH-camr making a vid about one of my favorite players
This was a great video. I don't usually hear much on Patrick but this was an insightful video.
You said, "Daugherty" as if it was spelled, "Dotry", or something close to that based on what it sounded like
Accents exist mate
@@nerdstop5025 True
Pretty sure it’s Daw Tree
@@matthewsantos655 I think it's pronounced "Doe herty"
Um.. Dirk won a championship
Dude only put up 1 season with PER higher than 25.
Peak Ewing, 10 seasons (ish) was 22.5 PER, 2.0 OBPM, 2.0 DBPM with a 0.172 ws/48
With peak ORTG not even being top 250 all time and peak DRTG being top 20 (18th)
A comparable player to Patrick Ewing is peak Dwight Howard.

Good shit LOW. Pat is so slept on!
If he had a team around him during his time he’d be look at differently smh
He'll always be remembered for the Pippen dunk smh 😂
I’m surprised no one brings up that blown layup Game 7 1995 ECSF
So Scottie dunks on Ewing once...I vividly remember Ewing blocking Scottie's shots in dramatic fashion on numerous occasions. People also forget Ewing had a leg injury in that finger roll game...no lift
Answerd Stewart I also remember a rookie jayson Tatum dunking on lebron why does no one talk about that
@@RDB0199118 people do talk about it. But why nobody talks about Malcolm Brogdon dunking on Bron and Kyrie in the same game
But the reason why the Pippen dunk was so "WOOAAAAH!" was because Ewing was so great.
Remember Deandre Jordan's lob dunk where the defender gets obliterated?
Well imagined the Defender is the one dunking, and obliterating DJ instead.
That's why the Pippen dunk means something :)
One of the five best center in NBA history!!!
He was a top 3 center from 87 to 94 and top 4 till 97, and he was a top 10 player from 87 to 96
Ewing Mattingly Lundqvist all loved by New Yorkers they performed at the highest levels
Ewing and Lundqvist ESPECIALLY had no help. No award winners/top level players alongside them.
Not everyone wins a ring, thats how team sports work and thats ok, their legacy is permanent.
Patrick Ewing is a casual
I owned a pair of Ewing shoes back in the day.
1983?
Me and friend were just talking about this a week ago
Ewing not on David Robinson level is hilarious 🤣 😆 😂 he used to shit on the admiral he beat Olajuwon in college for the chip and he used to outplay a young Shaq and he averaged 28 a game in 89'-90 hakeem was better and I guess Shaq being bigger and playing bully ball was better but Ewing was a far more skilled basketball 🏀 player TO SAY HES NOT ON THEIR LEVEL IS LUDACRIS especially Robinson
Lllllllllloooooooowwwwwwwwwwww
Low🐐🔥
One of the most successful eras in Knicks history...
Well the bar isn’t that high but good for Ewing
So you telling me that in a span of 9 yrs in seasons of 82 games Memphis only won 29 FUCKING GAMES WTF😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing better than a Legend of Winning video 💯
