Patrick was a warrior. Night after night, Patrick left all he had out on that floor. As a NY fan, I owe Patrick Ewing my gratitude for playing like that.
So underrated because he always happened to be just a little behind the best players in the game. First Jordan, then Hakeem. It's easy to forget just how great he was.
I'm from Rome, Italy. When I watched the NBA games in the early 90s Pat Ewing was one of the most beloved by us italian guys. He was always correct in the game and above all very charismatic. I always liked the fact that he was always in the Knicks despite not winning anything ... and he deserved it. A great man even in life!
+Garrett Henze there's love for them but not more than Ewing. Have them all walk in MSG and Ewing will be getting more love than anyone... even when he's working for the opposite team.
+melokid99 so true, that boy is going to be golden. Phil is doing such a great job, makes me really happy to see the fans rally with a rookie in such a way.
Not the best big man in history but the biggest in my heart. First, I was a Georgetown alum when he signed with my Alma Mater and got all those thrills watching him play for GU. Then, he was drafted by my NBA team that I grew up rooting for, The Knickerbockers! They never made it all the way but damn, those were some exciting years and some incredibly dramatic playoff battles. No regrets, #33 is #1 to me.
+buto1118 He was part of the Starting five for the 1992 Olympics also known as the DREAM TEAM, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame "the greatest collection of basketball talent on the planet"
Man I've been saying that. That 92 Knicks team was really good had they beat the bulls they would have won it all that year. The most scared I've ever been that the bulls were going to lose
I've seen snarky remarks about Ewing being on the wrong end of a lot of highlight dunks, but I respect anyone who prioritizes contesting a shot over worrying he could be put on a poster. That's something missing with most of the NBA players now. Only a few play with that type of intensity on both ends.
@@alvarooliveira6885 Or at least had someone that's at least better than a John Starks. Mitch Richmond probably would've been enough, sucks to see a great player like Ewing retire without that 💍
Ewing is the most charismatic center I've ever seen. Not the most skilled but surely the King of the warriors. When it's about Pat Ewing, peoples just have to remember his intensity during the games, how his teammates (not the most skilled) love him and fight with their captain, the sound of the Madison Square Garden, how the crowd was hot for the opponents. During the 90's, all the centers in this league, olds and youngs, were rated as very good or average after playing Big Pat. Ask to Zo Mourning, Chris Webber, Shaq how much it was hard to play Ewing. Each game of this guy was special. Sometimes, it was a battle. And people love him for that. Big Pat had retired since 2002 and had never been replaced in people hearts. Big respect to Pat Ewing!
It was all about the ride. I started watching the Knicks in about 1989 and watch them get a little better every year. They finally peaked in 1994 and came within one game of winning the NBA championship. It wasn’t to be, but you will always be a champion in my eyes. And it was one hell of a ride.
Ewing was a beast!!!! I miss the early 90s Bulls vs Knicks rivalry. The christmas games. The playoffs. It was the best ever. Props to Ewing, Oakley, Starks, Mason! Legends! A Bulls fan.
Its easy to forget how good Patrick was- with so many great players today. Patrick was so big and so athletic, quick and even graceful. That combination of nimbleness and sheer power and size- ant that wingspan - no one else ever looked the way he looked when he played. A very unique talent.
You Know, Yamcha...I was thinking about this for a while--PE may not do the greatest job in the would stopping a giant like Wilt or Kareen...But i do think he can give them a run for his money (Willis Reed at 6'10' was able to guard Wilt & even took a ring away from him) Ewing always had a decent 20 feet jump shot & doing so would mean that whoever guarded him would have to step out of the paint & try to stop him (Leaving the paint fairly open) But don't get me wrong...Wilt can easily score at will & drop 50+ points, grab 27+ boards, Block 15+ shots & get like 10+ assists in a single game (If he really wanted too) & I don't think PE could match that all by himself...He would need some help
Woody...I don't have an issue w/ you...but what are you talking man?! (Guinea?, Ya lost me bruh,I can't tell if your telling to troll or you're trying to make a point)
Pat was one of my favs growing as a kid in the 90s. Even though he didn't get a ring there is no doubt he is in the top 15 centers of all time. Ewing, Hakeem, Robinson, Shaq, Mutombo, and Mourning were the must-haves when it came to my Upper Deck and Fleer collection.
Robert Ng top 15? I mean is definitely not a top 5 but is clearly a top 7-8 center of all time ! Bro I got to see you’re list. My top 10 greatest center of all time : 1- Kareem 2- Russel 3- Shaq 4- Hakeem 5- Moses Malone 6- The Admiral 7- Patrick Ewing
Nice list but have a look at my top 10 greatest center of all time 1 Kareem 2 Wilt 3 Hakeem 4 Russel 5 Shaq 6 Moses 7 Artis Gilmore 8 The Admiral 9 Pat Ewing 10 George Mikan 11 Walt Bellamy 12 Willis Reed 13 Elvin Hayes 14 Wes Unseld 15 Bob Lanier 16 Dave Cowens 17 Bob McAdoo 18 Ralph Sampson 19 Alonzo Mourning 20 Bill Walton 21 Yao 22 Nate Thurmond 23 Dikembe Mutombo 24 Robert Parish 25 Arvydas Sabonis 26 Vlade Divac 27 Jack Sikma 28 Dan Issel 29 Dwight Howard 30 Neil Johnston
The dunk on Zo, is as primal a dunk as I have seen. Top 5 in-game of all-time in my book. I wish we had bigs with his atittude today, that would lay you on your back if you dare come into the paint. Quoting Reggie miller " One of the meanest guys to ever protect the paint" . Loved watching him play
Love Alonzo for challenging all those superstars at the rim.. he has got to be the most respected posterized played of all time. He won some too I remember him trashing Jordan in the 1st round on a dunk.
he really deserved a championship. one of the best players ever to not get one. when you look at ewing and robinson and shaq, and how great they were, you really get a sense of awe when you realize what hakeem did to them.
watched pat my whole life. saw almost every game. He was so under rated! won every year played great d and developed into the best shooting big man ever
It’s been almost 20 years and it’s a shame The Knicks haven’t found another player like Ewing. Someone to carry the franchise and take them to the playoffs year in and year out for over a decade and a half.
My absolute favorite player growing up. I've never been to NY, I'm from Michigan. I was tiny growing up, Patrick is huge so obviously I couldn't play his style. But just something about him made me love him. That turn around fade away was unstoppable.
I have one image of Ewing in my mind like it was yesterday: Knicks against Yugoplastica. Ewing gets the ball on the free throw line, with his back to the basket and four tall players between him and the basket. He took one dribble turning towards the basket, lowered the left shoulder as he often did and slam dunked it like a freight train. That is still the definition of the monster move, for me.
Patrick was one of my favorite players of all time i think he's still a lil underrated cause he never got a ring thanks a lot to mike and the bulls but theirs a lot of people that don't have rings because of mike
The bulls had no answer for Hakeem at center and the Rockets had won against the bulls in the regular season. jordan would not have won 8 in a row, that's absurd, he would have just retired sooner cause of being tired out sooner.
They simply don't' make big men like Patrick and the like anymore. Ewing would devastate today's league. Look no further than an old Duncan and Thiago Splitter making the Miami Heat look foolish in the finals. That is the caliber of big men in the league now, imagine what 90's big men would do.
Tod Wilkinson Top 10 my ass, you have done nothing but spout what ifs, and what could have been, Ewing had a hall of fame worthy career, but he doesn't even crack the top 5 Centers of all-time, he was injury prone and had weak knees, he couldn't carry his team and win a ring. I don't blame him for that but the top 5 Centers all have stepped up, and help win a ring(s) for their team.
Tod Wilkinson Wilt never faced Jordan, so that argument is irrelevant to my point, Ewing is not better than Thurmond, Wilt, Robinson, Hakeem, Shaq, Kareem, Russell, or Mourning. Also, as long as Hakeem, Wilt, and Kareem are remembered, Ewing could never be the best Post up big man.
Tod Wilkinson Your argument was weak, Wilt did have a jumper that he favored in the high post, there is actually video footage of it on youtube, check Wilt Chamberlain archive, most of Wilts shots came from post moves including the fadeaway and fingerroll, i checked the stats and Wilt trumps Ewing, The 20/10/2 is decent, but Wilt at 36 averaged 13/18/4.5 assists, with a record .727 fg%, that was when he was older, you can't even compare Ewing to Wilt, Wilt is superior in every category, every single one. Had they kept blocks, Wilt would have easily averaged 5+ bpg, he was unstoppable and unguardable, and played on the only team to beat the undefeated Celtics in the playoffs, Ewing couldn't even get a ring in a diluted expansion league, Wilt averaged 30 rpg in the playoffs btw, thats how dominant this man was, or when he averaged 8.6 apg in the playoffs as a center, unbelievable, tell me, when did ewing lead the league in Assists? Or lead the league in rebounding during his whole career? When did Ewing have to face a defensive center like Russell? A matter of fact when did Ewing face a team as talented as the 60's Celtics? Not even Jordan is better than Wilt, so how the fuck are you going to compare a Center who isn't even a consensus top 5 Center, lmao.
Patrick Ewing was a good player that should have won a championship but even though he didn't win a chip he gave his heart and passion on the basketball court every time. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
PE probably had the longest arms in league history. Great player. Never got the ring. Too many Beasts in the Easts during his hay-day. Good luck with coaching GT.
When Patrick first came in to the NBA he was mainly a rebounder and shot blocker but through hard work and dedication he developed one of the prettiest jump shots and face up/post up games for a big man that I've ever seen. Injuries and father time eventually caught up to him in the late 90's but in his prime Ewing was one of the best ever. He gets forgotten alot because of the era he played in because there were a lot of great big men in his era and Jordan of course who reigned over everyone. It was a great time to be a basketball fan.
This man was the perfect 'Big Man' for me. He had the size, the power, the skill, and even the agility to get the better of his opponents. It was just that other teams had a better supporting cast for their stars like what Hakeem had for their Rockets team thatʼs why they won championship titles. But for me (and I believe even for a lot of people), Patrick Ewing was a lot more complete of a player than his contemporaries and even more over Kareem and the acclaimed big men of the past decades before Ewing. And man, was Ewingʼs jumpshot a thing of beauty! I loved watching him pull that off from the high post and even the 3-pt. line. His dribbling moves and his low post also were to be reckoned with. He really defined the 'Big Man' that revolutionized the versatility of what they can be. Thank you, Mr. Patrick Ewing. You were truly one of the greatest to ever play the game of Basketball. God bless you!
SlipKid84 lmao he definitely did. Look at the replay. When he does the spin move, both feet come off the floor. Then he goes back down on his right foot, then continues to take another two steps. It’s a travel no question
OMG he did a lay-up against Will Perdue! Patrick must be good! Nobody has ever made a lay-up on the legendary defender Will Perdue. You know Will the G.O.A.T. Perdue. Patrick I am impressed.
Melo played his out out all through the pacers series with a torn shoulder muscle and this past season competed every single minute carrying the team on his back. You must not watch Knicks basketball.
He is up there with gallatin king monroe frazier debuscherre reed but ewing is my very fav knick reed is second my favorites ever in both college and pro are in this order are 1st chamberlain and russell 2nd jabbar 3rd olajuwon 4th mourning 5th ewing
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
EWING IS NEW YORK KNICKS!!!! This man represents everything New York. the ups and downs. The city in itself with the whole love/hate back and forth and when it all comes down to it....In the end it will always be love for this guy who bled orange and blue!!!
Ewing was a classy leader who worked hard and played with his heart, making him a true competitor. Carmelo was only a scorer and wanted money and fame. Ewing will always be the better Knick!
He may of never won a NBA title but he does have 2 Olympic gold medals and a College championship on his impressive resume. Not to mention been part of 2 NBA finals teams and another college championship that Gtown didn't win . And obviously a ton of playoff appearances as well. Many a deep run mite I add. Freaking beast !
All Ewing needed was a partner I mean he got the likes of Oakley with his impressive 9 ppg career pts yet he's in interviews saying Ewing was the problem lol
Patrick Ewing is the MAN. He's probably my favorite basketball player of all time especially after I remember he was on nickelodeon and gave a very positive message to the youth.
Tod Wilkinson I think it has to do with Heart, players today will go to another mens team and win then stay with their home that helped make them. I mean back then you would get trashed talked by an all star which would motivate you even more, todays game you get criticized by the media -.- and also players use to get hyped all the time and get emotionally involved in the game, today you can't even pump your fist without getting a tech. Wow I only meant to type 1 line...
I love playing with patrick ewing. He can rebound, protect the rim very well, dunk very well, can hit the mid range shot and long 2's. My only gripe is that it's hard to play with a team in which the best player is a big man
Travel on the catch gather to dribble, travel again after a multiple step spin move. There's a reason Reggie wanted to hit every critical winner he ever had in New York and it wasn't just Spike Lee.
I was a huge pat fan back in the day when nba was huge in Australia... nba at the time was ruled by giants... I couldn't remember what it was about him I like so much.. this shit is why... ewing is the man

Buto1118 very true
He is not underrated. He is the 3rd best center of the 80's and 90's after Hakeem and Robinson!
I loved his competitiveness. The man worked HARD for a living.
I've seen snarky remarks about Ewing being on the wrong end of a lot of highlight dunks, but I respect anyone who prioritizes contesting a shot over worrying he could be put on a poster. That's something missing with most of the NBA players now. Only a few play with that type of intensity on both ends.
@@AKSBSU finally! Back then people don't care about highlights. Unlike todays nba! Its all about exposures highlights,
If Patrick Ewing had not played at the same time as Jordan and Olajuwon, he would have won an NBA title.

Great for sure.but he always arguing with othets.trash talking.fighting.thats not carisma i think ☺
Oakley said he was not a great leader.
Dude was a monster. Watching these clips makes me miss 90s NBA. Last time the knicks were relevant too. Ewing is a legend.
and a hall of famer
He would dominate so hard in this era of non-center NBA.
+Ted Yi-Jing Shieh he would average 30-15-4
mr. Wldasoldmysoul4pussyasateen only KD and giannis are like that but also giannis can’t shot.
There’s only a couple actual centres the one that comes to mind is Drummond and embiid everyone else is just a 3pt shooter who is 7ft tall

Patrick was a 7 footer with a 7'8" wingspan. He had some great physical gifts.
he got bol bol wingspan, impressive
7'3" wingspan
@@branco7280 and made it look like 8'6" wingspan.
His block on Olajuwon at the half-time buzzer from the NBA Finals should have been on the list. One of the best blocks I've seen.
The fact that he blocked possibly the greatest shot blocker says alot about his greatness
I agree, that should be on this list of his greatest blocks.
Ewing carried a bunch of grocery baggers and plumbers. Too bad he didn't a sidekick to rely on

As a Knicks fan this brought tears to my eyes. I watched at 7 of these games when they happened.
WORD! Same here!
Ewing was one of the few big men from that era that could play in the run and gun league today, he had an underrated jump shot and great athleticism
He played through a sprained ankle, he’s already in top 50 percent of todays nba
Brings a tear to my eye seeing my childhood hero get his accolades.
That makes two of us

Had they kept blocks, Wilt would have easily averaged 5+ bpg, he was unstoppable and unguardable, and played on the only team to beat the undefeated Celtics in the playoffs, Ewing couldn't even get a ring in a diluted expansion league, Wilt averaged 30 rpg in the playoffs btw, thats how dominant this man was, or when he averaged 8.6 apg in the playoffs as a center, unbelievable, tell me, when did ewing lead the league in Assists? Or lead the league in rebounding during his whole career? When did Ewing have to face a defensive center like Russell? A matter of fact when did Ewing face a team as talented as the 60's Celtics? Not even Jordan is better than Wilt, so how the fuck are you going to compare a Center who isn't even a consensus top 5 Center, lmao.
Patrick Ewing was a good player that should have won a championship but even though he didn't win a chip he gave his heart and passion on the basketball court every time. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
PE probably had the longest arms in league history. Great player. Never got the ring. Too many Beasts in the Easts during his hay-day. Good luck with coaching GT.
When Patrick first came in to the NBA he was mainly a rebounder and shot blocker but through hard work and dedication he developed one of the prettiest jump shots and face up/post up games for a big man that I've ever seen. Injuries and father time eventually caught up to him in the late 90's but in his prime Ewing was one of the best ever. He gets forgotten alot because of the era he played in because there were a lot of great big men in his era and Jordan of course who reigned over everyone. It was a great time to be a basketball fan.
Ewing is a beast! I just ordered a new pair of his sneakers the other day 💯✔️
This man was the perfect 'Big Man' for me. He had the size, the power, the skill, and even the agility to get the better of his opponents.
It was just that other teams had a better supporting cast for their stars like what Hakeem had for their Rockets team thatʼs why they won championship titles. But for me (and I believe even for a lot of people), Patrick Ewing was a lot more complete of a player than his contemporaries and even more over Kareem and the acclaimed big men of the past decades before Ewing.
And man, was Ewingʼs jumpshot a thing of beauty! I loved watching him pull that off from the high post and even the 3-pt. line. His dribbling moves and his low post also were to be reckoned with. He really defined the 'Big Man' that revolutionized the versatility of what they can be.
Thank you, Mr. Patrick Ewing. You were truly one of the greatest to ever play the game of Basketball. God bless you!
#9 Ewing traveled from china to venezuela
Jonathan Najarro why you re impolite😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah but players today travel around the world twice.
SlipKid84 lmao he definitely did. Look at the replay. When he does the spin move, both feet come off the floor. Then he goes back down on his right foot, then continues to take another two steps. It’s a travel no question
@@wwekid90V3 no travel
@SlipKid84 You have no idea what you're talking about. Start counting from the moment he takes his last dribble.
OMG he did a lay-up against Will Perdue! Patrick must be good! Nobody has ever made a lay-up on the legendary defender Will Perdue. You know Will the G.O.A.T. Perdue. Patrick I am impressed.
Patrick top 5 best knick of all time. Carmelo can learn from someone who played with heart for a full 48 mins
Melo played his out out all through the pacers series with a torn shoulder muscle and this past season competed every single minute carrying the team on his back. You must not watch Knicks basketball.
ok..but carmelo got his shit packed. he might as well stayed on the bench that series
Nigga torn shoulder or healthy one .. Melo still don't play d
He is up there with gallatin king monroe frazier debuscherre reed but ewing is my very fav knick reed is second my favorites ever in both college and pro are in this order are 1st chamberlain and russell 2nd jabbar 3rd olajuwon 4th mourning 5th ewing
tyler durden huh melo been a top 5 knick when he first put on that jersey wtf is u saying
Patrick Ewing you are the best.
0:39 that basketball hoop was probably like “today is the day I die.”
Doble diribble
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Sometimes I forget how BEAST he was...
2:07 check out that baddie standing up in the crowd when Patrick got the putback
Favorite player ever. Yardie. Respect.
yaadie respect fi real
He was underlooked, because of Hakeem and MJ’s dominance of the 90s, arguably a top 5 player throughout the 90s
One of the best NBA Center of all time!
EWING IS NEW YORK KNICKS!!!! This man represents everything New York. the ups and downs. The city in itself with the whole love/hate back and forth and when it all comes down to it....In the end it will always be love for this guy who bled orange and blue!!!
IMO he is the scariest and most intimidating looking basketball player of all time
Yet he still got featured on the box of Wheaties
Ewings one handed slams are soooo EPIC, also for someone who’s over 7ft he’s mids are really good
Ewing was a classy leader who worked hard and played with his heart, making him a true competitor. Carmelo was only a scorer and wanted money and fame. Ewing will always be the better Knick!
Ewing scored, blocked shots, rebounded. Carmelo was only interested in shooting the ball, a lot
Patrick was the MAN 👏👏👏
Un animal Patrick Ewing!!! fue mi héroe en mi adolescencia, por él y sus boys es que adoro a los Knicks de NY
He may of never won a NBA title but he does have 2 Olympic gold medals and a College championship on his impressive resume. Not to mention been part of 2 NBA finals teams and another college championship that Gtown didn't win . And obviously a ton of playoff appearances as well. Many a deep run mite I add. Freaking beast !
These Knicks deserved a championship.
All Ewing needed was a partner I mean he got the likes of Oakley with his impressive 9 ppg career pts yet he's in interviews saying Ewing was the problem lol
0:18 how could the refs miss that walk???
Redmule123 he said so in Reggie Miller vs the New York Knicks a ESPN documentary
Redmule123 I was thinking that!
Well, as Patrick said, he thought he was Michael Jordan. Apparently, the refs did too. Only way they could have missed that walk.
@@pomerlain8924 show me a walk by Jordan
@@blanketstarry7725 What he meant was the NO CALLS in jordans favor. In which were too many to count! #FUCKMJ
Patrick Ewing is the MAN. He's probably my favorite basketball player of all time especially after I remember he was on nickelodeon and gave a very positive message to the youth.
Holy crap number 8 was nasty as f
***** I take that back, number 2 is even nastier
Absolutely.
When I was a kid I was totally obsessed with NBA basketball and it's just flooded back while I watched this video.
Tod Wilkinson I think it has to do with Heart, players today will go to another mens team and win then stay with their home that helped make them. I mean back then you would get trashed talked by an all star which would motivate you even more, todays game you get criticized by the media -.- and also players use to get hyped all the time and get emotionally involved in the game, today you can't even pump your fist without getting a tech. Wow I only meant to type 1 line...
0:28 how many steps?:)
Idk BC THERE IS NO 328
Eldar Kushkhov 4 steps 😖😂
I love playing with patrick ewing. He can rebound, protect the rim very well, dunk very well, can hit the mid range shot and long 2's. My only gripe is that it's hard to play with a team in which the best player is a big man
As much as I routed against him during the Bulls run in the 90s I always thought he deserved a ring. Just not against Mike.
Pat was a beast. My favourite player ever 🧡💙
I think Patrick Ewing is similar with Akagi from anime Slam Dunk haha IMO
Alfian Syach M
Takenori Akagi is based off Patrick Ewing.
The difference is Akagi doesnt have a jump shot.
No doubt the sweetest jump shot of any center ever.
1:52 Rony Seikaly just gets out of the way
I went to Syracuse and saw Seikaly play. Good player, but he ain't no dummy. lol
Patrick Ewing is the textbook definition of showing your absolute 100% effort regardless of the result. 💪🏻
Lol the coach though 1:31
Brought tears to my ears long live 33! 🏀
#9 was such a travel, it was actually at least two travels in one
Travel on the catch gather to dribble, travel again after a multiple step spin move. There's a reason Reggie wanted to hit every critical winner he ever had in New York and it wasn't just Spike Lee.
@@joepermenter7228 lol
I hated the Knicks when I was growing up, but I always respected Ewing and loved his game. Truly one of the greats.
did Ewing travel in #9 😂
Yep
+Kyle StormCloud and 2
Every one...lol
lol between 4 and 6 steps lol
Kyle StormCloud he travelled quite bit in this compilation
One of the better centers that NBA saw plays. That's amazing!!!
7' tall with a 7'8" wingspan
Total CHAMPION 🏆 🥇 in my eyes n heart ❤, should be sir EWING. thank u sir.
0:54 hahahahahaha
Watching him move, you CAN TELL that man has knee and ankle problems, but he fucking powers through it.
You can't teach being competitive
#4 Was the best.
As a kid that grew up in NYC in the 90s, Patrick Ewing was that dude. I even had a couple pair of his sneakers.
Beast! But I honestly think that #1 should not be that high on this list
Over Mourning? Most people would get stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey even trying that.
I was a huge pat fan back in the day when nba was huge in Australia... nba at the time was ruled by giants... I couldn't remember what it was about him I like so much.. this shit is why... ewing is the man
0:30 travel? 3 steps?
1:13 the commentator when he saw ben simmons make a 3
PAT.......TRICK....EWINGGGGGGGG
HOLLY SHIT, that poster on Mourning was GLORIOUS !!!
