@@waynemartin5784 I grew up watching both of those guys. Both were great (similar career numbers) and both were a notch below Hakeem. I would give Robinson a slight edge because his skill set was more unique. But it's close.
The Knicks of the ‘90s used to push MJ and the Bulls to the limit in the playoffs solely on the strength of Patrick Ewing. He gets nowhere near the amount of respect or recognition he deserves as one of the greatest Centers to ever play the game.
Ewing would DOMINATE if he played in this era. Centers today stand around at the arc waiting to set a screen or shoot a jumper. Back then, guys liked to battle for the paint, even guards were posting up.
Patrick Euring messed up with that finger role. If he had slammed that ball in he would have gotten a championship against the great Hakeem Oujawon. MJ was retired he got through on Scottie's watch. He had a chance and messed up.
@@elmarnigmatullin4490 Ron Harper never played for the Knicks. And Starks, Oakley and Rivers were long gone when the Knicks went to the finals in '99. You don't even know what you are talking about.
@@brandon07_gamingnyk5 Neither were the Knicks after he left..You look at who took over after Ewing left. Carmelo Anthony didnt give a fuck about NYC, Ewing was its heart. They have got nobody like that now which is why they haven't even made the playoffs in 8 years. The team doesnt care, why should the fans?
@@brandon07_gamingnyk5 He's a sane knicks fan. I checked out during the dreadful Marbury/Isaiah Thomas years. Came back when Carmelo showed up. I get what Brandon is saying.
Watched him during his GeorgeTown basketball days when the Big East was the best conference in the NCAA. The offensive game came as a great and pleasant surprise to Knick fans
Patrick Ewing carried those Knicks teams forever. The Knicks made the playoffs 13 straight years when he was there. He advanced to the second round in 11. In the 22 years since they’ve made the playoffs only 5 times, and they’ve been knocked out in the first round in 4.
Ok let's start Knicks Bulls rivalry is a joke. Knicks had Bulls in every game . Problem was former Bulls Charles Oakley who dominated on court with physical presence except with Jordan who he gave Jordan red carpet to rim never trash talk or attempt hard foul Jordan this gave problem for the Knicks finish and control game . Remember watch playoff games Oakley stroking Jordan egos don't forget Jordan and Oakley were teammates and good friends. Still are friends not going after Jordan was turning point for Knicks not making Jordan earn his keep with Oakley was Knicks downside.. That friendship cost Knicks . Only player Oakley didn't get aggressive with was Jordan watch the game see for yourself.
I don't care if Starks made every shot and the Knicks won the championship that year over the Rockets....Ewing was great but would NEVER be on par with Hakeem. The Dream was better in every facet of the game than Ewing.
@@clarkg5946 No way. That was a close series that went 7. Hakeem was great but Patrick had a great series too. And he fought like a warrior at the end of game7. The Knicks suffered from not having a reliable knock down outside shooter. Starks would be a complementary shooter on any other championship caliber team. He was too inconsistant to be relied upon as the main shooter. Unfortunately, a more competent great shooter, Rolondo Blackmon, was on the bench, years past his playing prime.
Why would Oakley say something like that. A lot of guys didn’t get over the hump because of the Chicago bulls. Patric deserve to be respected as much as any hall of famed in there. If you had to judge a hall of famed in there by championships a lot more guys would be in there.But it’s all about consistency bringing it every day and night and making a difference on and off the floor.

He said it because he's an idiot. They couldn't get over the hump because Michael Jordan, period. And because Starks was 0/11 in that friggin Game 7. If Vernon Maxwell and/or Kenny Smith had gone 0/11 in that game, then Hakeem wouldn't have won it either. Ewing was the sole reason that the Knicks became relevant again and got to the finals, and you have Oakley having the audacity to even suggest something like that.
@@tsmar9939 Unfortunately, You are correct. Oakley knocked every player on his ass except Jordan. And he even violated Pat Riley's rule of not helping up opposing players when he dealt with Jordan. this is a painful reminder to a long suffering Knick fan.
Ewing had personal individual accomplishments. He didn't contribute or raise the level of any other player on his team!! Truth is only teammate who like him was Herb Williams.
Oakley is man enough to speak the truth. Fact is Ewing was truly disliked by virtually everyone in the league. He was an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic at least 10 years and was never even considered for a head coaching job, not by his so called good buddy MJ or Knick owner James Dolan, and yet his jersey hangs in the MSG rafters⁉️
This interview was done after Oakley got kicked out of MSG. Oakley held a grudge towards Ewing for not sticking up for him in the media.... And that's why Oakley said this...

If Patrick had a Pippen - he'd a won 3 chips. Patrick was coached into a plodding team with his best teammates Oakley, Mason, Starks - nice guys no HOF's.
I don't know why everybody saying he's not in the category of those other centers Ewing averaged 21 points a game just like all the centers they compare him to
The only thing that messed up Ewing was not having a dependable number two guy by his side. Jordan always had pippen and shaq as great as he is had a young healthy and explosive penny hardaway then he had the chosen one Kobe Bean Bryant r.i.p and in his final championship he had a young dwayne wade. Let's not even bring up hakeems rockets with guys like Kenny the jet smith Sam cassell Clyde the glide drexler Robert Horry while the Knicks had the junk yard grave shift to help Patrick Ewing and still with all that bullshit they where always the dominant force in the east. Unlike now that Knicks look like a collection of teens with skeletons for a body. The Knicks have become what golden was for many years the NBA's grave yard where players go who one time where great to make a pay check play a few soft games and then retire. By the time LeBron wants to retire he might join the Knicks for two seasons just to play some soft time and play head coach.

@ The BIGOMN: So your saying Ewing single handed carried the Knicks to the playoffs and two NBA finals?? And yet he's never been named league MVP in all those years with the Knicks⁉️
I thought that too. There are so many interviews of players praising Ewing and he chose to include Pippen talking about his dunk and a mad Oakley after he got kicked out of MSG. Lazy and lousy video.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
True, they never competed again for championship after Ewing left. I remember the fierce rivalry with the Bulls. The bulls had the best player and better supporting cast. 3 HOF players (Mj, pippen, rodman) vs 1.
Olajuwon did not have Drexler when they played in 94. Also, the Knicks had guys as good as Horry. Neither Olajuwon nor Ewing had a second superstar to complement them.

2:35 not true, I have been a Knicks fan since I was 6, and I was a 16 year old when we made the 94 finals. I respect Patrick Ewing more than any other athlete ever, and I do not put any blame for our failure in 94 on Ewing. I blame the front office for not going for better pieces to go with Ewing
@alex vargas: why would the Lakers want him when they already had the greatest center of all time in Kareem Abdul Jabbar? Chicago didn't want him either, MJ enjoyed beating Ewing more than winning a ring with him!! If Ewing was a team player, NY could have one a ring with the players Ewing had around him.
Oak tripping. That's the man who's back you road to the Finals if anything the front office should have surrounded him with better perimeter players, more versatile than the norm. That's a slight I find confusing and seemingly coming from another place. David Robinson, although he won two with Duncan when he was the primary star I feel the front office did worst surrounding him with talent. The back court was ok but not elite or even above average to me. Mark Jackson was an All Star and Derek Harper was All Star caliber even John Starks were better overall than Avery, Del Negro, Monty Williams. Sean Elliot was good, All Star but that was it. All the other positions were either the exact same players or a wash when it came to talent, just my opinion
Vortex I was such a 90s Knicks fan man, to the point where I hated Michael Jordan lol but without Patrick Ewing, there was no knicks vs bulls rivalry!!!! But for Oakley to blame Ewing is like blaming the working man for the national debt. Patrick played his ass off, with 2 bad wheels and a buncha teammates that shouldn't have even been in the NBA, he took them to the conference finals and even to the playoff finals, you gotta give props to the big guy, he was the reason that the Knicks were even recognized as a team back then.
@@jimmyjames6882 Apparently Oakley believes he was the reason they made it. He road Ewing in NY and should be speaking highly of him as the player he was whether he likes Ewing or not, he wouldn't have been to the Finals had not it been for Ewing. Heck, Oakley probably stayed there too long

Reggie wtf you talking about. Yes he was booed at times but it was more at the team not winning the big one. However, every NY’er looks at Ewing with reverence and gratitude.
Dude. YOu must be young. It wasn't always that way. When he was with the Knicks he was constantly criticized for his predictions to win playoff series and the title. That lovefest that you see now started when he left the team. That is when the fickle Knick fans realized what they had and lost. He was never as appreciated by allot of Knick fans while he was a Knick. During that time people still wore more Bernard King and Clyde Frazier Jerseys.
I don't think it's a personal attack but Ewing always had knee problems and just wasn't as fast or agile/mobile as other centers. Most people would still agree Ewing lacked a good supporting cast rather, no matter how fine the Oaktree was as a power forward. Pat played with pain throughout his career and deserves more respect.
As if Oakley and the other players on those 90's Knicks teams were so good offensively and would have won championships if only Patrick Ewing had not slowed them down. Fucking ridiculous. As a huge Knick fan back then who watched almost every game I can tell you that the Knicks offensive troubles was NOT Ewing's fault. Rather, subpar offensive players like Oakley, who would miss a lot of easy layups and put backs, was the real cause of their struggling on offense. There were a lot of things I liked about Charles Oakley but he could be a strange and unpredictable dude. And kind of stupid, quite frankly.
@@salvatorecompoccia530 seriously bruh. Sure Ewing didn’t play his best but Oakley ain’t got no right to blame Ewing lmao he’s literally the main reason the Knicks were winning that much
For all you kids let me tell you , this guys was a monster . I used to watch him live and I really miss him a lot . Patrick was so very good at wha the did .
Hakeem all day everyday BUT Ewing played Hakeem better than any center did during that 94 finals.. they both share the record for most blocks in a finals game (8)

Oak told the truth without telling the whole truth. Yes everyone stood around waiting for Ewing to do something, because every team in the league could game plan around stopping ONE player on the Knicks. In todays NBA , if you could game plan around stopping one player, that team never makes it out of the play-in tournament. Ewing faced that situation every year and still took the Knicks to Advanced rounds of the playoffs and Finals.And that is why he is an underrated All-time player.
It’s a shame we didn’t have that other player for Ewing, or else it was lights out. (ie, Stockton/Malone, Shaq/Penny, Jordan/Pippen, Magic/Kareem, etc..)
@ The Big Hurt: All of those mention trusted and shared the ball with each other. Not Ewing, he didn't share the ball with anyone not Mark Jackson, Derek Harper, Rolando Blackman, Xavier McDaniel, Allen Houston, Latrell Spreewell, etc. Ewing would get the ball and shoot the ball. No one else mattered‼️
@@jaleelel-shabazz6736 none of them were superstars for Ewing to pass the ball to. He just needed that one player. But again, Stockton/Malone never got that ring either.
@@thebighurt3172 : Not only did Hakeem Olajuwon not have a superstar teammate, he didn't even have another all-star on that team. Still Hakeem trusted his teammates enough to share the ball with them, and they delivered!! There's no excuses for Ewing, simply put, he was a selfish piece of SHIT‼️
@@jaleelel-shabazz6736 Parish and Cartwright both had less assist than Ewing. They both got rings. Hakeem got Cassell , Drexler, Horry, Kenny Smith. Who’s Ewing gonna trust? Christie, Davis, Ward, Charles Smith? Ewing had the right to be a selfish POS!
@@thebighurt3172: Sam Cassell, Kenny Smith, Robert Horry were not all stars in 1994, Clyde Drexler didn't join the Rockets til 1995. Pay attention: Ewing had good enough shooters to pass to, all were all stars before teaming with Ewing: Allen Houston, Xavier McDaniel, Derek Harper, Rolando Blackman, etc. All capable of hitting a jump shot, if only Ewing shared the ball‼️ it's all muddy water under the bridge now. Ewing is the most overrated ringless HOF player in history!! Even when Ewing played in all-star games surrounded by HOF'ers, he was non-existent. Never even in contention for MVP.
thats spliting hairs. Shaq has always given respect and called Ewing his master. Remember. ShaQ battled Ewing for years in the Eastern Conference when he was with the Magic.

Houston got lucky in 94 they should have loss game 6 but thanks to a starks miss Houston survived but Knicks had that serious won bulls ganged up on him with 3 hall of famers even grant was a all star the first 3 rings they won then rodmen came but soon as Ewing finally got help n Knicks was running threw miami they suppended all the Knicks good players just to let miami go on to the ecfs to lose to bulls but make no mistake I strongly believe Knicks would have won 97 had stern grimmy ass had not gave that one to the bulls stern knew miami was not on Knicks/bulls level that's why they preferred miami to go on n play chicago cause bulls could easily beat miami but not that 97 Knicks team now that Ewing finally had Houston, Larry Johnson n a solid pg and the second unit was deep af

Starks "missed" because Hakeem got a piece of the ball when it went up. Both teams battled. John Starks did not choke. His shots weren't dropping. But that was John Starks game. He'll keep shooting as a shooter should. But he was not an elite shooter. He was great when streaky but bad to awful when he was off. But to his credit, cold streaks didn't make him shy away from competing. It was Rileys fault for not recognizing what was going on with Starks and should have incerted Rolondo Blackmon, just to try something different.
Pat Ewing was a choke artist. He played 63 playoff games where he shot under 45%. In the 1994 finals against Hakeem he shot .363 as Hakeem shot 50% and was outscored 27 to 19. Gutless basketball and countless times in a big spot I'd watch him clank foul shots or settle for fadeaway shots. I'd be screaming it's Bill Cartwright, take the goddamn ball to the basket or Rick Smits. Look at these games against Rick Smits? 4 for 15, 8 for 21, 4 for 9, 11 for 24, 0 for 10, 10 for 23, 4 for 10, 9 for 22, 12 for 27, 3 for 11, 6 for 16, 4 for 13, 7 for 16. WTF Rick Smits, not Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell or Lew Alcindor that Willis played against. In the 1970 playoffs before Willis was injured early in game 5 of the finals, Willis Reed scored 266 points and had 120 rebounds against Alcindor and Wilt in 9 games in a row! Not Rick Smits! Lets see if Ewing dominated Cartwright? 9 for 20, 8 for 17, 5 for 15, 3 for 7, 8 for 22, 7 for 16, 5 for 16, 5 for 14, 8 for 19, 13 for 31, 4 for 12, 11 for 25, 7 for 16, 9 for 21, 7 for 17. WTF Bill Cartwright who we called Mr Softee! How about Luc Longley? 9 for 23, 9 for 19, 10 for 21 Luc Blanking Longley and in 3 playoff games in a 5 game series Ewing was 28 for 63! Are we for real with this choke artist? Willis Reed in the 1969 amazing 6 game series against Bill Russell that went 6 games and the Knicks lost games 4 and 6 by ONE POINT in Boston Garden. Maybe Boston got the calls in Boston Garden? Reed shot 56 for 110 scoring 144 points with 81 rebounds. No gagging by Willis against Bill Russell in 1969. 24 and 13.5 shooting 51% Bill Russell played all 48 minutes in 5 of the 6 games and 40 in the other game and yet look at how great Reed was? The nonsense for this Pat Ewing is ridiculous! Rick Smits, Luc Longley, Bill Cartwright? Lets not forget that Ewing had the best team in College three years going 99 and 13 and yet they lost two NCAA title games. He won ONE NCAA title in 3 tries. We should of known in 1985 he was gutless and to think the media compared him to Bill Russell! Lets be honest Pat Ewing can't carry Willis Reed's jockstrap!
The Knicks organization was cheap ass hell. Then didn’t not want to pay another player the money to win a championship. Ewing was a defense player that was forced into a lead offensive role. If you had some shooters around him like Bill Russell he would of won multiple championships.
@@carniel5057 What was the excuse at Georgetown? 99 and 13 in 3 seasons and one NCAA title and his numbers against the likes of Luc Longley, Rick Smits, and Bill Cartwright are a disgrace and his gutless 1994 finals against Hakeem was Pat Ewing. A choke artist! He sucked! .363 against Hakeem who shot 50%! What an utter disgrace and what was the excuse for his 41% shooting against an old, bald 5 rebound Jabbar who shot almost 60%? I'd watch this stiff and be what a gutless pussy! A bald Jabbar would intimidate Ewing! Here is an example: Jabbar is almost 39 years of age and he shoots 15 for 22 and scores 40 points in 40 minutes even though he only grabbed 3 rebounds. Ewing shoots 3 for 17 and 3 for 6 from the foul line for 9 points and 9 rebounds. 9 points as Jabbar abuses him for 40 points at almost 39 years of age! A total joke!
When the NBA was actually a sport and not a game. For real!!! At least Kobe Bryant spanned the gap and played against the old school and the new school! The NBA sucks now!!!!
It pains me that 33 had the misfortune of playing with little talent around him at the same time as the MJ lead Bulls. If anyone did deserved a Championship it was Pat
Hall of Famer? Patrick Ewing did not have a consistent All-Star teammate. Years later when Patrick was broken down by age and injuries he finally got Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston. Ewing was the heart and soul of the Knicks.
That is a bad memory for Knick fans of that time. My first Knick game ever came after Bernard King hurt his Knee and Patrick Ewing was also out with an injury that kept hime out for most of his second season. I
Pat out played Hakeem in the finals and pat is as skilled as any big man ever he could play with any of them I have pat and wilt chamberlin as my top to big men of all time.
Olajuwon: 26.9 points per game, 9.1 rebounds per game, 3.6 assists per game, 1.6 steals per game, and 3.9 blocks per game. Ewing: 18.9 points per game, 12.4 rebounds per game, 1.7 assists per game, 1.3 steals per game, and 4.3 blocks per game. Olajuwon dominated on ppg and Ewing had a significant edge in rebounding. Everything else is very close. That's hardly evidence that Ewing outplayed him. It's either a draw or Olajuwon had the slight edge due to the scoring difference.
Mf’er I almost commented again saying Reggie you don’t know wtf you talking about. Pat was booed because he didn’t bring a chip but he wasn’t booed for him he was as a player. I met him twice and told him how much he meant to me as a fan and a role model. Can guarantee I’m not the only ny’er to feel that way. Pat is a God in NY
He should fear his reflection with that big azz basketball head he got. Shaq head weight like 100 pounds and shit bruh he kinda got crooked eyes because of it bruh. He alright tho
As a knick fan from that time, King was pretty much done after the Knee injury before Patricks rookie year. King was at the end of his career and managed one great season after the injury and would not have been the longterm sidekick that Patrick would have needed to dethrone Michael Jordan and Hakeem.

I totally disagree I have to go with Patrick Ewing if Michael Jordan wouldn't have retired Hakeem Olajuwon would go down as just a good Center because he would have never won any championships
It was competition against great centers like Ewing that made him great. That era had David Robinson, Shaq, Alonzo Mourning, Brad Daughtery, Robert Parrish even Rik Smits. Tough competition.

Patrick Ewing carried those Knicks teams forever. The Knicks made the playoffs 13 straight years when he was there. He advanced to the second round in 11. In the 22 years since they’ve made the playoffs only 5 times, and they’ve been knocked out in the first round in 4.
Ewing would score 30-35+ with 15+ reb today & 2.5+ blks. His game is perfect for today
Fucking LOVE Patrick Ewing.
If Starks didn't choke in Game 7, Kenny would be way less cocky when bragging around charles and ewing be on par with Hakeem.
If they call the foul on Hakeem on Starks 3 point attempt- Pat would get the recognition he deserves.
Ok let's start Knicks Bulls rivalry is a joke. Knicks had Bulls in every game . Problem was former Bulls Charles Oakley who dominated on court with physical presence except with Jordan who he gave Jordan red carpet to rim never trash talk or attempt hard foul Jordan this gave problem for the Knicks finish and control game . Remember watch playoff games Oakley stroking Jordan egos don't forget Jordan and Oakley were teammates and good friends. Still are friends not going after Jordan was turning point for Knicks not making Jordan earn his keep with Oakley was Knicks downside.. That friendship cost Knicks . Only player Oakley didn't get aggressive with was Jordan watch the game see for yourself.
I don't care if Starks made every shot and the Knicks won the championship that year over the Rockets....Ewing was great but would NEVER be on par with Hakeem. The Dream was better in every facet of the game than Ewing.
@@clarkg5946 No way. That was a close series that went 7. Hakeem was great but Patrick had a great series too. And he fought like a warrior at the end of game7. The Knicks suffered from not having a reliable knock down outside shooter. Starks would be a complementary shooter on any other championship caliber team. He was too inconsistant to be relied upon as the main shooter. Unfortunately, a more competent great shooter, Rolondo Blackmon, was on the bench, years past his playing prime.
Starks needed sleep & Riley didn't let them go home on the off day
Why would Oakley say something like that. A lot of guys didn’t get over the hump because of the Chicago bulls. Patric deserve to be respected as much as any hall of famed in there. If you had to judge a hall of famed in there by championships a lot more guys would be in there.But it’s all about consistency bringing it every day and night and making a difference on and off the floor.

He said it because he's an idiot. They couldn't get over the hump because Michael Jordan, period. And because Starks was 0/11 in that friggin Game 7. If Vernon Maxwell and/or Kenny Smith had gone 0/11 in that game, then Hakeem wouldn't have won it either. Ewing was the sole reason that the Knicks became relevant again and got to the finals, and you have Oakley having the audacity to even suggest something like that.
@@tsmar9939 Unfortunately, You are correct. Oakley knocked every player on his ass except Jordan. And he even violated Pat Riley's rule of not helping up opposing players when he dealt with Jordan. this is a painful reminder to a long suffering Knick fan.
Ewing had personal individual accomplishments. He didn't contribute or raise the level of any other player on his team!!
Truth is only teammate who like him was Herb Williams.
Oakley is man enough to speak the truth. Fact is Ewing was truly disliked by virtually everyone in the league. He was an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic at least 10 years and was never even considered for a head coaching job, not by his so called good buddy MJ or Knick owner James Dolan, and yet his jersey hangs in the MSG rafters⁉️
This interview was done after Oakley got kicked out of MSG. Oakley held a grudge towards Ewing for not sticking up for him in the media.... And that's why Oakley said this...
Oakley still sounded like an asshole in that interview.

True. Context is everything.

Pat had the smoothest shot of any body in the league and was a monster

If Patrick had a Pippen - he'd a won 3 chips. Patrick was coached into a plodding team with his best teammates Oakley, Mason, Starks - nice guys no HOF's.
For me Mr PE is Mr NY💪
So powerfull so dominant.
Fantastic athlet with great attetude.
Greetengs from Polisch fans.
I don't know why everybody saying he's not in the category of those other centers Ewing averaged 21 points a game just like all the centers they compare him to
And he was never a scorer to begin with he's an elite defender
Patrick represented the name very well
The only thing that messed up Ewing was not having a dependable number two guy by his side. Jordan always had pippen and shaq as great as he is had a young healthy and explosive penny hardaway then he had the chosen one Kobe Bean Bryant r.i.p and in his final championship he had a young dwayne wade. Let's not even bring up hakeems rockets with guys like Kenny the jet smith Sam cassell Clyde the glide drexler Robert Horry while the Knicks had the junk yard grave shift to help Patrick Ewing and still with all that bullshit they where always the dominant force in the east. Unlike now that Knicks look like a collection of teens with skeletons for a body. The Knicks have become what golden was for many years the NBA's grave yard where players go who one time where great to make a pay check play a few soft games and then retire. By the time LeBron wants to retire he might join the Knicks for two seasons just to play some soft time and play head coach.

@ The BIGOMN: So your saying Ewing single handed carried the Knicks to the playoffs and two NBA finals?? And yet he's never been named league MVP in all those years with the Knicks⁉️
This video doesn’t live up to the title. Especially the Oakley and Pippen interview. I mean wtf? That’s almost disrespect to Ewing
I thought that too. There are so many interviews of players praising Ewing and he chose to include Pippen talking about his dunk and a mad Oakley after he got kicked out of MSG. Lazy and lousy video.
I dont know what this guy was thinking. Putting in a segment criticizing Ewing in what was supposed to be a tribute video. WTF?!
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Best Face Up Jump Shooting Center Ever!
Pat never had the help.
True, they never competed again for championship after Ewing left. I remember the fierce rivalry with the Bulls. The bulls had the best player and better supporting cast. 3 HOF players (Mj, pippen, rodman) vs 1.
Patrick Ewing Was The Greatest Center In The World For Me And For Many Period!!!
He and Shaq are the greatest that I saw play live.
You & Pat share that losers world together!!
Shaq had Kobe and D wade, David had Tim Duncan, Hakeem had Big shot Bob and Sam Cassell, Clyde the Glyde, who did Pat have helping him ?
He never had an all star guy but he had some warriors with him.
Olajuwon did not have Drexler when they played in 94. Also, the Knicks had guys as good as Horry. Neither Olajuwon nor Ewing had a second superstar to complement them.

Big shot Bob, Cassell? Seriously just compared them to Kobe? Lol
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 "warriors" in the NBA make good bench reinforcements. Role players at best. That is the best of what Patrick Ewing had.
2:35 not true, I have been a Knicks fan since I was 6, and I was a 16 year old when we made the 94 finals. I respect Patrick Ewing more than any other athlete ever, and I do not put any blame for our failure in 94 on Ewing. I blame the front office for not going for better pieces to go with Ewing
I always wanted Patrick to come to the L.A. Lakers. He would of won a championship or two.
Jerry West would have put the right people around him.
Anyone but NY Knick Management could have accomplished that feat.
@alex vargas: why would the Lakers want him when they already had the greatest center of all time in Kareem Abdul Jabbar?
Chicago didn't want him either, MJ enjoyed beating Ewing more than winning a ring with him!!
If Ewing was a team player, NY could have one a ring with the players Ewing had around him.
Oakley blaming Ewing??? You're kidding right?
As a Knick fan I can’t stand when Oakley does that!
Oak tripping. That's the man who's back you road to the Finals if anything the front office should have surrounded him with better perimeter players, more versatile than the norm. That's a slight I find confusing and seemingly coming from another place. David Robinson, although he won two with Duncan when he was the primary star I feel the front office did worst surrounding him with talent. The back court was ok but not elite or even above average to me. Mark Jackson was an All Star and Derek Harper was All Star caliber even John Starks were better overall than Avery, Del Negro, Monty Williams. Sean Elliot was good, All Star but that was it. All the other positions were either the exact same players or a wash when it came to talent, just my opinion
Vortex I was such a 90s Knicks fan man, to the point where I hated Michael Jordan lol but without Patrick Ewing, there was no knicks vs bulls rivalry!!!! But for Oakley to blame Ewing is like blaming the working man for the national debt. Patrick played his ass off, with 2 bad wheels and a buncha teammates that shouldn't have even been in the NBA, he took them to the conference finals and even to the playoff finals, you gotta give props to the big guy, he was the reason that the Knicks were even recognized as a team back then.
@@jimmyjames6882 Apparently Oakley believes he was the reason they made it. He road Ewing in NY and should be speaking highly of him as the player he was whether he likes Ewing or not, he wouldn't have been to the Finals had not it been for Ewing. Heck, Oakley probably stayed there too long

Reggie wtf you talking about. Yes he was booed at times but it was more at the team not winning the big one. However, every NY’er looks at Ewing with reverence and gratitude.
Dude. YOu must be young. It wasn't always that way. When he was with the Knicks he was constantly criticized for his predictions to win playoff series and the title. That lovefest that you see now started when he left the team. That is when the fickle Knick fans realized what they had and lost. He was never as appreciated by allot of Knick fans while he was a Knick. During that time people still wore more Bernard King and Clyde Frazier Jerseys.
How tf is oakley blaming Pat
Cause he was jelly
I don't think it's a personal attack but Ewing always had knee problems and just wasn't as fast or agile/mobile as other centers. Most people would still agree Ewing lacked a good supporting cast rather, no matter how fine the Oaktree was as a power forward. Pat played with pain throughout his career and deserves more respect.
pause did oakley fr just blame Ewing?
As if Oakley and the other players on those 90's Knicks teams were so good offensively and would have won championships if only Patrick Ewing had not slowed them down. Fucking ridiculous. As a huge Knick fan back then who watched almost every game I can tell you that the Knicks offensive troubles was NOT Ewing's fault. Rather, subpar offensive players like Oakley, who would miss a lot of easy layups and put backs, was the real cause of their struggling on offense. There were a lot of things I liked about Charles Oakley but he could be a strange and unpredictable dude. And kind of stupid, quite frankly.
@@salvatorecompoccia530 seriously bruh. Sure Ewing didn’t play his best but Oakley ain’t got no right to blame Ewing lmao he’s literally the main reason the Knicks were winning that much
For all you kids let me tell you , this guys was a monster . I used to watch him live and I really miss him a lot . Patrick was so very good at wha the did .
Love the vids
Hakeem all day everyday BUT Ewing played Hakeem better than any center did during that 94 finals.. they both share the record for most blocks in a finals game (8)
Ask any center of the time who was their toughest competitor at their position they will tell you it was Patrick Ewing.
Oakley is delusional pat carried the Knicks every night .

Oak told the truth without telling the whole truth. Yes everyone stood around waiting for Ewing to do something, because every team in the league could game plan around stopping ONE player on the Knicks. In todays NBA , if you could game plan around stopping one player, that team never makes it out of the play-in tournament. Ewing faced that situation every year and still took the Knicks to Advanced rounds of the playoffs and Finals.And that is why he is an underrated All-time player.
Cmon. These are all ok, but when we gonna see the main man - ‘how good was Brian David Scalabrine’?
It’s a shame we didn’t have that other player for Ewing, or else it was lights out. (ie, Stockton/Malone, Shaq/Penny, Jordan/Pippen, Magic/Kareem, etc..)
@ The Big Hurt: All of those mention trusted and shared the ball with each other. Not Ewing, he didn't share the ball with anyone not Mark Jackson, Derek Harper, Rolando Blackman, Xavier McDaniel, Allen Houston, Latrell Spreewell, etc. Ewing would get the ball and shoot the ball. No one else mattered‼️
@@jaleelel-shabazz6736 none of them were superstars for Ewing to pass the ball to. He just needed that one player. But again, Stockton/Malone never got that ring either.
@@thebighurt3172 : Not only did Hakeem Olajuwon not have a superstar teammate, he didn't even have another all-star on that team. Still Hakeem trusted his teammates enough to share the ball with them, and they delivered!!
There's no excuses for Ewing, simply put, he was a selfish piece of SHIT‼️
@@jaleelel-shabazz6736 Parish and Cartwright both had less assist than Ewing. They both got rings. Hakeem got Cassell , Drexler, Horry, Kenny Smith. Who’s Ewing gonna trust? Christie, Davis, Ward, Charles Smith? Ewing had the right to be a selfish POS!
@@thebighurt3172: Sam Cassell, Kenny Smith, Robert Horry were not all stars in 1994, Clyde Drexler didn't join the Rockets til 1995. Pay attention: Ewing had good enough shooters to pass to,
all were all stars before teaming with Ewing: Allen Houston, Xavier McDaniel, Derek Harper, Rolando Blackman, etc. All capable of hitting a jump shot, if only Ewing shared the ball‼️ it's all muddy water under the bridge now. Ewing is the most overrated ringless HOF player in history!!
Even when Ewing played in all-star games surrounded by HOF'ers, he was non-existent. Never even in contention for MVP.
What in the hell is Oakley talking about?
Theres another vid where Shaq said he only feared hakeem.
thats spliting hairs. Shaq has always given respect and called Ewing his master. Remember. ShaQ battled Ewing for years in the Eastern Conference when he was with the Magic.
What’s the website again I couldn’t hear it you went too fast
He's on my top 10 centers in NBA
My favorite player All Time!
The Oakley comments suggest bad editing or poor oversight considering the title of this vid
They all say “ He never one a championship “ Pat has something better than a championship… He has a gold medal 🥇
And that goes for Charles also!
Damn Oakley comments are harsh

I was thirteen in 94 when NBA came on russian TV....Still afraid of Ewing like back then...
If Bernard King didn't get hurt, the knicks with him and Patrick would have won a championship.
Shaq, don't forget The Dream 34 !!! He kicks you in NBA finals 1995 4-0 !!!!
Of course, Patrick Ewing was a wonderful center...Unfortunatly for him, he was alone to score. If Patrick Ewing had a Scottie Pippen or a big post 1, the story could be different...
Houston got lucky in 94 they should have loss game 6 but thanks to a starks miss Houston survived but Knicks had that serious won bulls ganged up on him with 3 hall of famers even grant was a all star the first 3 rings they won then rodmen came but soon as Ewing finally got help n Knicks was running threw miami they suppended all the Knicks good players just to let miami go on to the ecfs to lose to bulls but make no mistake I strongly believe Knicks would have won 97 had stern grimmy ass had not gave that one to the bulls stern knew miami was not on Knicks/bulls level that's why they preferred miami to go on n play chicago cause bulls could easily beat miami but not that 97 Knicks team now that Ewing finally had Houston, Larry Johnson n a solid pg and the second unit was deep af

Olajuwon got lucky? Lol
Starks "missed" because Hakeem got a piece of the ball when it went up. Both teams battled. John Starks did not choke. His shots weren't dropping. But that was John Starks game. He'll keep shooting as a shooter should. But he was not an elite shooter. He was great when streaky but bad to awful when he was off. But to his credit, cold streaks didn't make him shy away from competing. It was Rileys fault for not recognizing what was going on with Starks and should have incerted Rolondo Blackmon, just to try something different.
So this is Akward...... Hi
Pat Ewing was a choke artist. He played 63 playoff games where he shot under 45%. In the 1994 finals against Hakeem he shot .363 as Hakeem shot 50% and was outscored 27 to 19.
Gutless basketball and countless times in a big spot I'd watch him clank foul shots or settle for fadeaway shots. I'd be screaming it's Bill Cartwright, take the goddamn ball to the basket or Rick Smits.
Look at these games against Rick Smits? 4 for 15, 8 for 21, 4 for 9, 11 for 24, 0 for 10, 10 for 23, 4 for 10, 9 for 22, 12 for 27, 3 for 11, 6 for 16, 4 for 13, 7 for 16.
WTF
Rick Smits, not Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell or Lew Alcindor that Willis played against.
In the 1970 playoffs before Willis was injured early in game 5 of the finals, Willis Reed scored 266 points and had 120 rebounds against Alcindor and Wilt in 9 games in a row!
Not Rick Smits!
Lets see if Ewing dominated Cartwright?
9 for 20, 8 for 17, 5 for 15, 3 for 7, 8 for 22, 7 for 16, 5 for 16, 5 for 14, 8 for 19, 13 for 31, 4 for 12, 11 for 25, 7 for 16, 9 for 21, 7 for 17.
WTF
Bill Cartwright who we called Mr Softee!
How about Luc Longley?
9 for 23, 9 for 19, 10 for 21
Luc Blanking Longley and in 3 playoff games in a 5 game series Ewing was 28 for 63!
Are we for real with this choke artist?
Willis Reed in the 1969 amazing 6 game series against Bill Russell that went 6 games and the Knicks lost games 4 and 6 by ONE POINT in Boston Garden. Maybe Boston got the calls in Boston Garden?
Reed shot 56 for 110 scoring 144 points with 81 rebounds.
No gagging by Willis against Bill Russell in 1969.
24 and 13.5 shooting 51%
Bill Russell played all 48 minutes in 5 of the 6 games and 40 in the other game and yet look at how great Reed was?
The nonsense for this Pat Ewing is ridiculous!
Rick Smits, Luc Longley, Bill Cartwright?
Lets not forget that Ewing had the best team in College three years going 99 and 13 and yet they lost two NCAA title games. He won ONE NCAA title in 3 tries.
We should of known in 1985 he was gutless and to think the media compared him to Bill Russell!
Lets be honest Pat Ewing can't carry Willis Reed's jockstrap!
The Knicks organization was cheap ass hell. Then didn’t not want to pay another player the money to win a championship. Ewing was a defense player that was forced into a lead offensive role. If you had some shooters around him like Bill Russell he would of won multiple championships.
@@carniel5057 What was the excuse at Georgetown? 99 and 13 in 3 seasons and one NCAA title and his numbers against the likes of Luc Longley, Rick Smits, and Bill Cartwright are a disgrace and his gutless 1994 finals against Hakeem was Pat Ewing. A choke artist!
He sucked!
.363 against Hakeem who shot 50%!
What an utter disgrace and what was the excuse for his 41% shooting against an old, bald 5 rebound Jabbar who shot almost 60%? I'd watch this stiff and be what a gutless pussy!
A bald Jabbar would intimidate Ewing!
Here is an example: Jabbar is almost 39 years of age and he shoots 15 for 22 and scores 40 points in 40 minutes even though he only grabbed 3 rebounds.
Ewing shoots 3 for 17 and 3 for 6 from the foul line for 9 points and 9 rebounds. 9 points as Jabbar abuses him for 40 points at almost 39 years of age!
A total joke!
When the NBA was actually a sport and not a game. For real!!! At least Kobe Bryant spanned the gap and played against the old school and the new school! The NBA sucks now!!!!
Ewing is akagi of shohuko
It pains me that 33 had the misfortune of playing with little talent around him at the same time as the MJ lead Bulls. If anyone did deserved a Championship it was Pat
I’m waiting for someone to jump out and say April fools lol
Ewing couldn't carry olajuwons jock
Hall of Famer? Patrick Ewing did not have a consistent All-Star teammate. Years later when Patrick was broken down by age and injuries he finally got Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston. Ewing was the heart and soul of the Knicks.
Haha talk to Rodman 😂😂😂
can anyone imagine if the big fella played with a healthy Bernard King ???
That is a bad memory for Knick fans of that time. My first Knick game ever came after Bernard King hurt his Knee and Patrick Ewing was also out with an injury that kept hime out for most of his second season. I
Pat out played Hakeem in the finals and pat is as skilled as any big man ever he could play with any of them I have pat and wilt chamberlin as my top to big men of all time.
Olajuwon: 26.9 points per game, 9.1 rebounds per game, 3.6 assists per game, 1.6 steals per game, and 3.9 blocks per game. Ewing: 18.9 points per game, 12.4 rebounds per game, 1.7 assists per game, 1.3 steals per game, and 4.3 blocks per game. Olajuwon dominated on ppg and Ewing had a significant edge in rebounding. Everything else is very close. That's hardly evidence that Ewing outplayed him. It's either a draw or Olajuwon had the slight edge due to the scoring difference.
Foh...no one ever outplayed Dream
@@dirklerxstpratt2112 the dream had an edge because he had a reliable supporting cast that could get him a bucket.
Reggie Miller was born after the the greatest NY KNICK center played so he wouldn't know who Willis Reed was‼️
Different results if Mark Jackson never left the 1st time...Ewing/Jackson were really starting to gel.
Mf’er I almost commented again saying Reggie you don’t know wtf you talking about. Pat was booed because he didn’t bring a chip but he wasn’t booed for him he was as a player. I met him twice and told him how much he meant to me as a fan and a role model. Can guarantee I’m not the only ny’er to feel that way. Pat is a God in NY
He should fear his reflection with that big azz basketball head he got. Shaq head weight like 100 pounds and shit bruh he kinda got crooked eyes because of it bruh. He alright tho
Pat was fucked from draft day. If the Knicks never got rid of Bernard King these people would be talking different
As a knick fan from that time, King was pretty much done after the Knee injury before Patricks rookie year. King was at the end of his career and managed one great season after the injury and would not have been the longterm sidekick that Patrick would have needed to dethrone Michael Jordan and Hakeem.
❤❤❤❤
NYK 33 💪
Scottie stop yo damn lying he did do sumthin u wuz tryna push Ewing but u couldnt cuz he wuz already falling backwards.
This seems like a hate video man 🤦♂️what ?
If he was that good for the Knicks or overall he would have got them a championship not a finger roll!!
Yeah but look who y'all ended up sticking the Trick with Ah huh !!
Lol Oakley running his mouth with what 9ppg career like he helped any team win
This is not a celebration video this still hating on the dude

Yea right had hakeem faced prime Jordan he would have crapped his pants.
@@thebigomn2907 you know from 91-93 the Bulls only beat the Rockets one time. Even Jordan said the Bulls didn’t have an answer for Hakeem.
Hakeem was better, but he would tell you that Patrick was the next best and his greatest competition at the center position.
I bought a Jersey
@Jack Brooks hmmm I don't what to say if my package comes then I will say it will work but I bought 3 jerseys on January 4th so I will give you a update

So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘

Ewing would DESTROY todays sissy ass NBA.
He would have been a slightly better version of Anthony Davis.
Patrick was better than Hakeem. His team lost, but he was not out played in that series.
Patrick is trash next to Dream.
Hakeem was better. But is it such a bad thing to have the second best center in the league during that time?
Clickbait! There ain’t no way Shaq said “I only feared Patrick Ewing. Hakeem Olajuwon yes...Patrick Ewing....no!

I totally disagree I have to go with Patrick Ewing if Michael Jordan wouldn't have retired Hakeem Olajuwon would go down as just a good Center because he would have never won any championships
It was competition against great centers like Ewing that made him great. That era had David Robinson, Shaq, Alonzo Mourning, Brad Daughtery, Robert Parrish even Rik Smits. Tough competition.
