Why are so many former Knicks dissing Patrick Ewing?

[UpAndComing]

Derek Harper saying Ewing wasn't a leader. Then juelzes and backtrack that he just "led by example"

They also talk about Chris Childs taking shots at Ewing






Charles Oakley saying Ewing is "high maintenance" and "had 5 chances to stick up for me and never did". And how he "sacrificed his game for Ewing"



shyt crazy

Ewing was a very good player, just not good enough for ny or the media. He would of been better off in gs

Ewing was a true great. What's his demerit, he wasn't as good as Olajuwon? The Knicks were always a good team when he was there and they never really gave him much to work with until it was too late.

You can probably find just as many people who thought Pat was a great leader and teammate and all that other stuff, that wouldn’t be nearly as interesting though so no one seeks it out.

Yeah he ran into the Dream and lived that nightmare.

Dream was undisputedly the best big of his time. Took out Shaq and Ewing in the finals.

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

All he had to do was make that layup

Ewing was surrounded by CBA players and was very competitive.

Ewing had some weak moments in the Playoffs. He would disappear for long stretches and get bullied by guys like Ric Smits and Will Purdue.

Dude only scored 1 point in a playoff game once. And I like Ewing.

Old nikkas trying to get some shine again

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
Maybe he was high maintenance
