With the new Influx of players top 40.

I'd still build a team around him over some of the players ranked ahead of him.

It's crazy how some small moments in your career can change the way you are perceived when it's over.

If the Knicks win that Finals series against the Rockets (which they were as close to doing as you can get), the scope on both Olajuwon and Ewing changes immensely, even though Keem was clearly the better player.

As far as this thread goes, I'd rank Ewing in the lower half of the top fifty players ever, but if I actually gave it some real thought maybe I'd change my mind.

only if the knicks didnt turn the ball over
like 3 fukking times in a row within the final mins of game 6


his career would be looked at VERY different
after the heat/spurs game 6 collasape

The one thing I never understood is how people can say Garnett is better than Ewing

Some one needs to tell me there argument, it can't be 0 < 1
