I loved Pat and he never had another all star to play with which was a damn shame :to: great player but flawed as some said espcially after the injury

But seriously some people are gonna put that dirtbag Mourning ahead of Pat :what: gtfo

Man, I thought it was one of you cats on this site who showed me some shyt on twitter where dude said Ewing rocked northface jackets on his knees and when he went to the beach they thought it was a monsoon he was sweating so much or some shyt. I was dying.

I actually like Ewbacca and think he's unjustly disrespected for the Knicks inability to build better teams around him.

Reb, that shyt with dude sweating through his suits in the job interviews has me dying because you know without a doubt it's true.

The mop boy earned his keep at MSG back then.


And yeah, Ewing being ugly and Jordan being handsome really sort of played out like a soap opera in real life. It was surreal.

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

- Garnett was the best player on a championship winning team. Ewing never won a championship.

- Garnett is a former MVP. Ewing is not.

- Garnett a vastly superior defender to Patrick Ewing and a former DPOY.

- Garnett is a better passer and rebounder.

- Garnett is a better free throw shooter

- Garnett has way more first team All NBA Appearances and first team all defensive appearance

- While never seen as an offensive juggernaut and perhaps not as potent as Ewings, Garnett has a well rounded offensive game that stretches from the post to damn near the 3 point line. Add all the things Garnett does better than Ewing + his superior shelf of personal accomplishments, I don't see how you can't comprehend the general opinion that KG was a superior player.

I also think his injury played season with the lakers and his annoying, goofy attitude has nikkas forgetting how much of a beast Dwight Howard can be when healthy and on a team centered around him. Dude won multiple DPOYs in a row and probably should've won MVP at least once by now considering what he meant to those Magic teams.

Okay the Mournng pick was a homer pick being a heat fan and growing up in Miami :pachaha:
You will NOT change my mind on the David Robinson pick. :hmm: fukk you.
Dwight is still young so i expect him to surpass Ewing. They have as the same amount of championships (0)

Finals appearances
Ewing - 2
Howard - 1

Defensive Player of the Year
Ewing - 0
Howard - 3

League leader in rebounding
Ewing - 0
Howard - 5

League Leader in Blocks
Ewing - 0
Howard - 3

I mean outside of Ewing's sicker than life fade away I dont see why i should pick him over Howard :manny: Go ahead and make your point. I'm listening

Um

Ewing played in an era with

Block machine Dream

Block and Rebound machine Zo

Prime Mutumbo


Dwight howard

........ who else is there.... Marc Gasol? and ... um who else

Zo struck fear into ni99as too dude was aggressive as fk

I liked D. Harper and Mase in Your Face the most on those teams. Oakley was a glorified garbage man, and Greg Anthony is one of my least favorite point guards in history. I never, ever forgave John Starks' H-Town lookin somebody rockin shootin the bricks ass for what he did to Kenny Anderson.

shyt, me and my boys have been using the phrase "sweatin like Pat Ewing" since like '98.

Even the women in my family called Pat everything from monkey to ape to gorilla. He was so disrespected.

Wait, what did Starks do to Kenny?

Intentional foul, broke Kenny's risk just as he was hitting his stride as a professional. I really loved that Nets team - Kenny was my favorite college player all time (tied with Randolph Childress) and Drazen is one of my favorite players ever.

From what I understand the NBA lists players heights WITH SHOES on. Which is fine because you dont play barefooted and the padding on shoes dont deviate much from the norm among the different shoes worn.

Correct me if im wrong but isnt Duncan 7 feet tall? He always looked taller than Garnett to me. And I thought Sheed was 6'11

You are right bruh. Duncan measured 6'11 without shoes at his pre draft workouts so he has to be at least 7'0 with shoes on.

Yes, but he said he doesn't understand why someone could say Garnett is better than Ewing, so I fleshed out several reasons why they would.

To say we can't compare the greatness of players because they play different positions should no one can say MJ is the GOAT. I don't agree with that notion.
