PATRICK EWING is the most complete Center and most of all the most complete basketball player the Knicks put on the floor from 1987-1999.... he was a Batman without a Robin
@Flybkmami. John Starkes. And Before you go cocky on us here ask MJ (who is better than Kobe) how tough Starkes is because other than Joe Dumars he would say Starkes gave him fits and was the toughest defender ever to guard him.
Compare the heroes of the 1994 Finals with the faggy butter hoochies of the 2009 Finals. Kobe, Gasol and the rest would have been broken down by defenders like Starks, Oakley, Mason...
Basketball instead of getting better is getting worse. Back then the game was for men while now it is soft, boring and the players are like faggots from beauty salons and not warriors like then.
1994 Knicks vs. 2009 Fakers 4-0 sweep. Kobe and Gasoft wouldn't survive one game with the pounding they'd receive in the paint by Ewing, Oak, Mase, Starks and Harper.
etsi einai mas exoun zalisei t' arxidia m' aftin tin poustara ton Gasol kai afto to anasfales nipio ton Kobe, i8ela na dw posa rebound 8a epairne o Gasol me ton Oakley antipalo kai poses dieisdyseis 8a ekane o Kobe me ton Starks i ton Maxwell na ton markaroun. 4-0 sweep.
Excuse me, what's so delusional about that? Do you really think Gasoft would handle the beating he would get down low from the big front lines of the 90s (and not just the Knicks')?
As for not winning diddly squat, tell me just how well your Fakers did against Jordan and in the 90s overall.
@neoellinas , LOL your funny and your lack of basketball knowledge shows. who are the fakers? i know of a team called the Lakers who won 15 championships and have won 9 since 1980. Do you really think the 1994 Knicks would have swept the 2009 Lakers? The Nets took a game from the Knicks in the first round that year, The Bulls were a bullshit Hue Hollins phantom call from knocking the Knicks out in the second round,
And the Knicks did everything possible to lose to Indy in the conference finals that year. The bottom line and it hurts me to say it because I enjoyed watching the 1990's Knicks but they were chokers who didn't get the job done. 1994 and 1995 were their years to win the title and they choked. Losing to the Pacers in 94-95 in game 7 at home, hell even blowing game 5 to the Bulls at home showed that mentally they weren't good enough to win the title.
@patrick429. Are you SERIOUS??? If they play by the rulebooks of the 1990s then not only do the 1994 Knicks kill the 2009 Lakers but a sub.500 team from the 90s beats the 2009 Lakers (adjusted---what are you on man??? they couldn;t handle the so-so physical Rockets---well had to go to Game 7 at least). If its this eras rulebook, then I still think Knicks may win because Ewing vs his matchup is greater mismatch than Kobe vs his matchup. Pau Gasol,please he is star as result of watereddownbigs
If the 1994 Knicks and 2009 Lakers played eachother with 1990's rules, the Lakers would have adjusted and toughened up and the matchups would have favored the 2009 Lakers, remember in the playoffs last year everyone was talking about how all the teams the Lakers faced were tougher then them and look what happened. The last part of your argument is void though. Weren't the Knicks Jordans personal girlfriend in the 1990's. The 1991 Laker team that played the Bulls in the finals was injured and
older and they were a shell of their former selves. In the end the 1990's Knicks had the same amount of titles to show as the Lakers did and remember from 1991-1996 the Lakers were in rebuilding mode, post Magic. Like I said, I like the 1990's Knicks and the basketball they played but they were chokers and should have won a title but choked chances away in 1993, 1994, and 1995. 1993 because they would have beat Phoenix and 1995 because they would have beat Houston with home court advantage.
Bro you are right the Knicks were chokers but to be fair Ewing was the only star the Knicks had... they never gave him a scoring threat to compliment him as the Lakers did with Magic and Kareem and West and Chamberlin....You understand because I believe you are a knowledgeable basketball mind.
@decreerealg Um oakley? mas? harper was decent.. so was john starks? And don't say john starks isn't clutch because of game 7. Patrick Ewing had teammates.. it just that they were outdone by the better teams like the bulls
it's ironic that marv albert mentioned only 2 teams have come back from a 3-2 deficit in the nba finals, and the rockets became the 3rd team to do it.
Isn't this the game that took place as OJ SImpson was driving away from the police in his White Bronco on the Freeway in LA? I think NBC even puled away from the game and covered it. You got that part in this coverage of the game?
The Knicks may have very well won this world title, had they been the team with the homecourt advantage..they had a great 11-2 record, counting this win, at the Garden, but away from New York only 3-7..that's what brought them down in the end..
@jaredf921 Never mind..I meant 3-7 BEFORE Games 6 and 7 at the Summit in Houston..which adds up to 3-9 overall on the road in playoff/world championship games..
The girl behind Pat Riley on 7:27 is damn HOOOTTTT !!!!

No, unfortunately Ewing could never match up to the great players of his era. Maybe one day he'll coach a team and get his ring.
