I’d rather coach my basket-ball knowledge to Dwight Howard in Orlando than to eddy curry and zach Randolph at the lousy Knicks. Lousy, yes they have been lousy for ten years.

Good f*ck Patrick Ewing , Eddy Curry is soft enough without learning how to shoot fadeaways and finger rolls.

Bryan - watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm2GqveanLc - If you can dunk and shot a 15 footer at 7′1 you have repetoire. Patrick Ewing was a warrior!

Hey Pat, Eddy has no future go back with dwight howard, he will lead the Magic to a championship.

As Phunky said, why should Ewing waste his time w/ the Knicks? Dwight seems to be a worthwhile student. As for the standing O, I’m sure Ewing won’t forget the bum’s rush the fans, media & team gave him in his final year as a Knick.

No doubt, Pat was not treated right. I, myself, am ashamed of the way I used to dog him. He was one of the best players of his era. Still, since it was his team for so long, everytime we look at him, it hurts. We see that finger roll brick off the back of the rim against Indiana. We see Charles Smith (fouls or no fouls)unable to convert under the hoop against the Bulls. Yes, the Knicks came PAINFULLY close during his years as MSG. Regrettably, it seems that all that lingers is the pain. On a side note, I remember when I moved from my bachelor pad tenement at Hoyt and Schermerhorn to my new digs in Windsor Terrace. Me and my wife were crazy about the Knicks, but hadn’t hooked-up the cable yet. Accordingly, we had to go down to the corner bar to catch the game. It was a typical Brooklyn bar with some typical white Irish guys (off-duty cops and firemen). I remember cutting the game short, after some of the guys started saying, “Get the bananas, Patrick. Jump for the bananas.” In retrospect, I guess there were also some Knick fans who were never going to warm to him, no matter what.

you guys are nuts…Patrick brought MSG it’s best days since the early 70’s…Bernard King was the dude in the 80’s, but the Knicks team of the 90’s was an incredible team. They didn’t win it all, but they put on a great show every night. They had heart as well as flare, they were a tough team, and their leader, the one who put it together, was probably the toughest of them all. Sure we had firecrackers like Oak, Mase and Starks, but Pat battled shot knees and ankles and gave his all every night. I will never hold it against Pat that those teams didn’t win a championship, especially watching todays team who couldn’t sniff a championship if it was placed underneath their nostrils. He missed a finger roll, it was heartbreaking, but he hit dozens of huge shots, made big stops, and actually had to guard real big men in an era where centers dominated the game…and the Knicks were still a top-5 team for a decade. The Garden is not the same, Pat cannot be replaced, especially not by fat boy.

All the fake fans jump on the “hate on Ewing” bandwagon. Everyone seems to forget that he was one of the best players in NBA history. I don’t say so, the record books do, and so does the 50 greatest players leather that Pat has hanging in his closet. Haters!

You don’t have win championships in NY to be loved, that’s not true. If you want to be on the brink of being worshpped by NY fans you have win championships. Ask Clyde Drexler and Derek Jeter.
