Patrick Ewing

On last week’s Keeping It Real Sports show I struck a chord with Knicks fans on and off the show. I dared to say what no one would; that Patrick Ewing was flawed. As soon as the word flawed was uttered a thousand flawed pro Ewing argumentative ships were launched. Of course like any Knicks fan would say the most arduous call for Patrick Ewing’s greatness was John Starks screwing up his shot at a ring in the 94 with his horrible game 7 finals shooting performance. However Ewing was a beast that game 7…. OOOOOH MY GOD WAIT!!!!

In 1994–95, Michael Jordan returned in the latter half of the regular season. In his return to Madison Square Garden, Jordan scored 55 points and picked up the victory for the Bulls. This game lifted Jordan’s confidence after a mediocre performance in his “comeback game” against the Indiana Pacers. The two teams didn’t meet in the playoffs that season but the animosity between the two teams still grew. It is considered one of the most memorable games in the NBA’s history and a cornerstone in the heated rivalry between the two teams.
