People underrated what a player Patrick was today its just hurts us old nba fans. Filled with Good Defenders but None Scoring Threats or Great Game Creators but himself in the Strongest Confereince in the NBA (Late 80s East and Early 90s East). All by himself in a Poor Offensive and Uncreative Team he played like an MVP every season. He had way more Heart and was way More Clutch than Robinson, Way More!

Do you even watch basketball?! This guy's retired! Get outta here you first comment troll! Patrick Ewing was one of the greatest Knicks ever and he deserved a better fanbase! Most notably you being the prime example of how people underated him.

@art9schw No, he did win without The Glide, in fact he did so in 1994 against Ewing.

Even Hakeem didn't win until Clyde Drexler was brought in. David Robinson lead a draft lottery spurs team until they got one of the greatest PF ever in Tim Duncan.

It's too bad Ewing never got that ring, Michael Jordan simply had a lot more help and a dominant supporting cast around him during that time. That was really the difference and the main reason why the Chicago Bulls were able to knock the NY Knicks out of the playoffs time and time again. If only Ewing had a second option like a Scottie Pippen type superstar on his team, than the Knicks possibly could have won at least half of their playoff rivalries against MJ and the Chicago Bulls.

If only this man had won a couple of championship his legacy would have been so different. It's no wonder that he and Jordan are great friends-real recognize real
