Ewing had the biggest heart that you can imagine. One of my all time favourite centers of all times. A great role model of John Thompson to have and of course his beloved mother and father. He may not have won a NBA title, but he played like he won one every year.
He was the greatest for the Knicks in the 80s and 90s. A great center to play hard in Knicks history.
He’s my all time favorite player. He didn’t have rings, but he payed the game the right way, composed and respectful but still feared by competitors, never punched any women or got pulled over drunk, no drugs, I don’t even remember him cursing in gameplay ever. Just seemed like good people.
So true my favorite to because of all those good characteristics
Patrick Ewing and the 90's Knicks were my first favorite player and team. 30 years later the NBA playoffs are my favorite time of year. I think back on Patrick fondly. Yes, always sad he never got a ring.
@@tonyscardina3 real talk
Mind's too!! 🤩🤗😍👍🏿👏🏾👏🏾💪🏿✊🏿
@@itstheru274 mine* too
A gentle giant and a man amongst men, the hard work and intensity that Patrick brought to the basketball is now reflected in Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Buck along with other young centers in the NBA brotherhood. Love this game.
Rest In Peace to late John Thompson who molded Ewing at Georgetown university and become decent human being in life
Facts that was the real hero
Now, Ewing is the current head coach of Georgetown Hoyas basketball team.
One of the greatest centers ever!!@ There will never be another!! Buy his shoes!! Pure greatness!!
Got them bro nice guy 🇯🇲🇬🇧🔥👊🏽

I LOVE THE SHOES
One of the best athlete that came out of jamaica.
Love the friendship between Ewing and Bird. Imagine if both of them played together in their entire career! 😲
My favorite center .i loved him from the first time i saw him in a full game in the all star game back in 1988. He came into the game with his bandage in his knees and arms and started to block everyone in the middle !!! .i loved the way he grabed the rebounds ,he had a spectacular style in this !!!! Patrick Aloysius Ewing thank you very much for all the memories man !!! I.You will be for ever my favorite player in the middle !!!!
People forget the fact that he was playing on two bad knees pretty much his whole NBA career and still put up the numbers that he did
I'm not a basketball expert but if you're 7' tall and somewhat athletic wouldn't it be kind of easy to block shot's and get rebound's. It seems like iin basketball being extremely tall gives someone an advantage.
Happy 60th birthday to Patrick Ewing The number 33 hangs from the rafters of Madison Square Garden to honor the effort of this memorable center
He did play hard and did something so good for the Knicks.
@hectorlopez1069 Yes he did. It was kind of you to recognize the message. This year I am looking forward to Daryl and Doc
Best Jamaican to do ever done it only reason y most ppl like myself are still Knicks fans to this day love u pat greatest knicks ever
Greatest in Knicks history
One of the greatest to ever do it ...but still very underrated
The greatest centers to not get a ring, but he sure deserve one. He was a great player.
12:30 I can relate. I was born in Seattle in 1973, Sonics and Blazers fan. My Dad unexpectedly passed away in March 2003 (we think from an embolism). Life hasn't been the same for me since. 1993-2002 was mostly good times. 1993-94 was one of the BEST times of my life, and 1996 was pretty special, too. After my Dad's passing in 2003, I thought that I was going to bring my own life to an abrupt end.
It is crazy to think if his mother had never decided to immigrate and work in the US, Patrick would have never discovered basketball and would be living a normal life in Jamaica. Patrick owes everything to his mother!
Patrick Ewing is still the king of the New York Knicks. 👑
Truly a great player. One of my all time favorites. His greatness is unappreciated because he was a defensive player in college and developed his Offensive skills in the NBA.
Great player in basketball history
Underrated player to not win a ring
@@hectorlopez1069 The competition back than is what made them so great, not a ring..like nowdays..
@@igordrakulovic6857and also because he was in the era of Jordan and Olajuwon. The two hall of famers he had issues of beating them.
To win the championship in the 1990s, you must conquer the great mountain called EWING. His toughness made the AIR & the Dream great.
2 NBA Finals appearances, came up short vs the rockets and spurs.
Father showed me highlights of Michael Graham Patrick Ewing and I instantly felt a since of DC pride and still a Georgetown basketball 🏀 fan for life Big John Thompson was a fixture at our boys and girls club💯💪🏾
I remember watching TV and seeing Patrick and the Hoyas play St. John., Virginia, UNC, Villanova, the Running Rebels…Those uniforms, the size of the players and Patrick with those knee pads. Beautiful and unstoppable. Then I’d grab my basketball and play the game and emulate.
Big up Patrick Ewing 🇯🇲
ALL YARDIE YOUNG BOYS WANTED THE 👟EWING SNEAKERS
Most underrated player in NBA history, he was one of the big man
What I like about him is the fact that he played as hard at the beginning of the game as he did at the end no matter what the score
But, he didn't win a championship for NY.
@@hectorlopez1069 no he did not win a championship, but that doesn't take away from how he played the game
What a great and nice guy, thanks for uploading this. Makes me appreciate Ewing even more.
The best to never win a championship in the NBA.
Love Riley NYK Team it was Loaded,, Ewing, Oakley, Mason, Wilkins, Starks but Somehow Couldn't Get a Championship... Love Patrick Top 3 Center on My List...
do not know how many times i rented this VHS in the 90s as Ewing is one my personal Fav players ever
We were little kids renting these NBA videos at the video store.
4:46 I swear Jackie MacMullan have been on the business for so long. That’s quite amazing
Humble rise from the east of🇯🇲
Not the east he was born in West Kingston on bond street.
Original Yard Man🇯🇲
And the following season 3-2 lead in the finals but Hakeem Olajuwon had other ideas, he blocked John Starks game winning attempt in Game 6 and the Rockets finished off the Knicks in 7. And in 1995, Ewing blew a layup in Game 7 eastern semis against Indiana that would have forced OT. It shows you how tough it is to win in this league. Even Karl Malone and Charles Barkley missed out on championships as well. They were great players who are truly deserving of their HOF status, but the competition is tough. Also Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, etc were greater when it mattered. But Patrick Ewing was a legend, he was one of the strongest in the league, could make some very tough shots, he did it all, he was brave.
Brave to play in that NBA era.
Thanks for uploading these man, good looks.
AND AT CENTER. AT 7 FEET FROM GEORGETOWN # 33 CAPTAIN PATRICK EWING....GO NEW YORK GO... I REALLY WISH HE FINESHED HIS CAREER IN NY. AND I HOPE 1 DAY HE GETS A COACHING JOB WITH KNICKS 1 DAY.....LUV U BIG FELLA.!!!!
The Knicks always had my anxiety levels high,while playing them in the playoffs growing up as a bulls fan..
Knick didn't have anything to eliminate the bulls in those 90s playoffs.
Biggest fear of all Knicks Fans: chicago Bulls.😂. I was a hard Knicks Fan in the 90s.😌
HE WAS A LOT BETTER THAN SOME REALIZED . SO WAS RALPH SAMPSON BUT THE GAME WAS GETTING MORE AND MORE PHYSICAL .....
Remember when ny Knicks drafted Patrick Ewing back in 1985 it was nuts in nyc when franchise had the number 1 pick
excellent video! I'm subscribing to ur channel!!! Thank you for the content!
Patrik Ewing un crack, un jugadorazo
Luv this dude. Looked up to him (no pun intended) as a player in high school. Salute to my brother.
Our legend 🇯🇲🇺🇸
The legend from Jamaica
Great doc. I’ll subscribe.
Patrick Ewing is a Jamaican trail blazer.
Nothing but respect for his style of play and the person he is, I had a friend who loved the Knicks and Patrick, But I used to always stir him up saying Bill Cartwright and Will Perdue were to dominate for him 😅
Ewing was my top player when I was growing up. Poster on my wall and black 33’s on my feet! Those loses in the playoffs in the 90’s hurt like hell, but I always stood by him and the Knicks back then. This man deserved that Ring about as much as any other player in NBA history who’s never claimed one, maybe more!
I'm not a Knicks fan but I still wanted Patrick Ewing to win a championship.
He did went to the finals in 94 and 99.
@@hectorlopez1069 Yeah, even if the Knicks had to play without him when they got back to the final round in 99 though.
man that hurts everytime i watch this and i would have loved to see the 1994 and 1995 seasons.
One of the best to do it 🇯🇲🇨🇦
I remember watching him a few games...one of my all time favourites in NBA...
He is one of the greats to not win a title.
One of my favorite centers OAT even though he was kinda small. He had my favorite free throw signature routine, and usually it was all wet nothing but net😆
Has a Jamaican discipline is always first but if you try the bullying foolishness then you'll see the crazy side 1❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
The greatest player from Jamaica to play basketball.
My mother Maureen Kelley used to have him over to her house in highschool in Cambridge. They went to Cambridge Catholic Latin. My grandmother said he was the nicest kid
Real Jamaican 👑👑🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🏝🏝
An icon of the golden age of Nba.
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲Uncle PATRICK. WHEN GROWIN UP IN JAMAICA IN THE 90S..WE FANTACISE TO WEAR EWING SNEAKERS...BIG UP. PATRICK U STILL OUR CHAMP..
He's one of the greatest to play in the NBA.
People don't realize Ewing was a defensive powerhouse FIRST. It was incredible how his offensive game improved over the years to the point he almost averaged 30PPG in 1990 I belive.
WHY ISNT A STATUE IN NYC OF PATRICK. ..? STATUE OF 🗽LIBERTY ..AND PATRICK ..BIGGEST ICONS OF THE CITY
One of the best. Offense and defense.
Well took me 2hr 22 mins to get through the second half and ended up being forced to watch 433 commercials in total.
Patrick Ewing was a 🏆 in life
For the Hoyas Not for the Knicks though
Class act 💯
My all time favorite nicker
I want everybody to know this about me, so that you understand where, when and how I grew up: I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. I used to practice Patrick Ewing jumpers during shootarounds. I was PUMPED when the Sonics got Pat Ewing! True, I knew that he wasn't the 25 ppg man anymore, but I still thought he could have been a 15 points, 9 rebounds man for us in 2000-01. I have a SONICS 33 EWING jersey.
7ft in the 10th grade??!!?😳😳😳
2:07 Lol I heard 6’1 on a 7th grade my dude
When Brittany .G from Baylor I said she was like when Ewing went to Georgetown Ewing has to be one of greatest centers in college history him Ralph Sampson if Ewing played in college today nobody could stop him or score on him
I agree in college, but not in the NBA.
Yes à gentle giant an American history great man
The Knicks were a tough test for my Chicago Bulls.
Big Man,Soft touch,great post up game as well.
Born and bred in NYC. Used to breathe, eat and $h!t Knicks. This man is a legend. Thanks for all the memories Pat.
We love you man
A great player to be in the hall of fame.
too bad a guy called MJ was playing in the same era, or Ewing was def championship materials
I think so too, Ewing might of got titles, without Jordan in his era.
Great ball player
I seen him at Georgetown And in the pros I never seen nobody work as hard as him
He did played hard in college and the NBA.
Bad management deprived him from a ring. Never shodve hot rid of Bernard King and Mark Jackson
My number 1
I love Ewing walking style, just that of a big guy.
Big Pat 💙🧡🗽
28:55 Around 2005-2009, I was having problems with my OWN family members. Whenever I had the chance to do something, and "stick it to them," I did THIS Michael Jordan fist pump towards them, and that same growl and scowl!!
i used to kill the games we played with the ewing turn around jump shot and the drive and dunk but a hook shot for me lol
Always got to represent for my fellow Jamaicans but it will always hurt my soul that Miss layup that Patrick Ewing had to go to the NBA final and probably when a championship it always touch my soul when I see the ball dress bounce around the room and fall short to the side and I wasn't in New York fan New York Knicks matter of fact
The man was playing in one leg with a calf injury. He just never made excuses...injury limited hid elevation
That missed lay up in 95 playoffs, deeply hurt his legacy.
I watched a lot of his games as a 11+ year old boy on a 13 inch tv. Pat is my favorite NBA player of all time. Nostalgia is a part of it. But there is a vibe between people, there is a reason you like someone.
One of the best to ever do it frfr #NoCap
I never noticed before but the narrator is the same guy who narrates the opening for Waterworld in 1995.
Mike Jarvis: Oh, Uncle Phil!!
🇲🇽 Loves PATRICK WING! 💛💚🖤
Happy Bilated Birthday Big PAT
Nostrils so big you can see what’s on his mind. 👃🏿
Standing tall
Mi fellow 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲....we all had to adjust 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Long live Patrick Ewing. Greatness baby!!!!
MAN I'M STARTING A TEAM THIS BROTHER HERE IS THE 1ST PERSON I'M CALLING STRAIGHT UP .
Greatest college player in the last 40 years. He made Georgetown an absolute power fir years!!!!! Ewing and Sleepy against Jordan, worthy and Perkins for the National Champs. Georgetown should have beat them and Ewing was a freshman.... he may he the best college player ever!!!!
He did win a championship in college for Georgetown.
Warrior
I've seen the Brother play.
33rd Master Ewing 🗽🥾 Maat Hotep
Ewing and Jackson were incredible. Ewing vs Hakeem were wars
and Ewing vs Jordan too
Bird and Ewing on the same team would of been amazing to see
Ewing and Bird are two-fifths of my all-time best five man lineup. IMO, Ewing’s outside shooting and reliability from the FT line make him the most “scalable” of the great defensive centers. Ewing-Bird-KG-KD-MJ. Ridiculous defense, off the charts length and athleticism, insane bbiq, incredible rebounding, two great-from-anywhere with three elite-from-midrange shooters, four players with the capability to be any team’s primary playmaker, no ball-dominant players, great off-ball and on-ball offense. MJ to bring the ball up the floor. Ewing with the bulk to bang with the likes of Shaq or Wilt. Good to great FT shooting everywhere, so no hack-a worries. Work ethic, competitiveness, ability to play through pain.
Dave Checketts and Dave Gavitt: The Frenchmen.
Choked on a layup
and cost the Knicks another playoff loss.
Knicks would not reach that far without him
Halfway through and 74 commercials
Rewatching old games really makes me wonder why they parted with Mark Jackson
That guy took command of that team
But, he was bad in the playoffs and the finals vs the rockets in 94.
If he got one good player beside him he would win ring he was the only player without a next great player beside him
I have the 33 hi shoes of the master 🔥 Royal blue 🟦🟧🤘🏾
