Why are so many former Knicks dissing Patrick Ewing?

Seeing that clip recently where Ewing tried to clown Wilt's defense at the NBA Top 50 ceremony back in the day made me look at him slightly differently :patrice:
Maybe he was high maintenance

He was, but it felt like he didn't really study or care about the history of the game like that. :leostare:
He also said he couldn't guard Wilt either. I wouldn't use this as an example.

Ewing was one of the best Knicks players, he's had hiccups in his days but who hasn't. I can't forget how Rony Seikaly jammed on Ewing though.

What does that have to do with what he said?:mjlol:Did Ewing lose to Pippen?
He was insinuating that the teams were evenly matched but Jordan was that much better than the opposition. Nah, the Bulls had a distinct talent advantage. Pippen on his own almost beat the Knicks.. of course Jordan and Pippen would. Their second best player was John Starks :dead:

That series should've been over in 5, but we lost our entire roster for 2 games because of a rule implemented because of us a year prior. That rule also cost us against Heat a couple years later.

Oakley's beef with Ewing is the Dolan ish.

Ewing wasn't as good as Olajuwon, I think we've established that point :manny:

If the only thing you can say about him is that he wasn't as good as Jordan or Hakeem, he had a hell of a career.

If the kniicks win in '94....I don't know if people are saying dream is better than Ewing
