What Oakley said was low rent. Ewing didn't hold them back, the rest of the Knicks squad from the 90's did that to him. He had no one around him. If Starks is your second scoring option, you're in trouble. They could have won in '94. Starks went 2-18 from the floor. I'll never understand how Riley kept him in. And, how Starks kept chucking it up. There was the 90's Knicks problems in a nutshell. It wasn't Patrick. Oakley should be ashamed of himself.

@@pzooka with Ewing at center and Riley as coach the Knicks put up seasons of 51, 60, 57, and 55 wins. The type of cherry picking in that video ignores the big picture. You're telling me they would have put up those win totals without Ewing?? I'm just not buying it, no matter what stats this video cooks up. They were a contending team with Ewing, they would not have been without him. They had no real consistent scorers or elite talent other than him. That's why they could never get past the Bulls and Jordan...who did have Pippen. No one could at that time. They also lost to the Rockets for that reason. Also, to highlight the 98-99 season is simply not fair to Ewing. He was at the end of the line, even if he was scoring 17 ppg. I remember watching them and noticing that his skills had diminished, even before the injury. They also had Sprewell and LJ, two quality players that they never had during Ewing's prime. By that time, Ewing was holding them back. I can't buy that during his prime. He gets a bad rap, and always did.

Starks the same, except as a rebounder (tho not bad for his size) starks was a good passer, good 3 point shooter (streaky tho), good driving to the lane and finishing, huslte. Mason, good rebounder, good handles, good post up game, good defense especially in the post, hustle, good passer. not good enough to win it all (or maybe if jordan had not existed) but def above average..

But that was at the end of Patrick Ewings career. If he had guys like that earlier he may have gotten rings. Knicks upper management failed to get good enough players to win. Rockets and Spurs management did not fail wirh their big man center teams and Hakeem got rings and David Robinson got rings. Lakers did not fail either with a Shaq centered team. 3 rings.

Ewing gets almost no respect today. In the '90's people weren't all falling all over themselves to blow Hakeem. It was a real question for a while in the '80's and early '90's whether Ewing, Robinson, or Hakeem was better. Ewing was definitely the most impressive in college, but his body fell apart a lot quicker banging and playing back down basketball. Hakeem focused more on finesse, etc. and he peaked a lot later.

Wow, I didn't see this interview when Oak throw him under the bus. Now mr.Oakley, you are a bad man. Official. Ewing is the best thing what happened with NY basketball in the last 40 years. Yes, he missed great layups, but still did all-star teams in a strong era, and he wasn't even a scorer, buthe had to do do that, if he should have a good scorer on that team in the late '90s maybe he gets some chips. Sorry, but the whole NY team that time was almost the same like nowadays, just they had a Patrick Ewing. No team building - no chips.

Patrick LED the Knicks for years-- the only consistent superstar on a team full of thugs, journeymen, and street-baller types. Teams would bang right back against Ewing and he still held up and consistently delivered. His supporting cast was goons like Oakley and Anthony Mason and guards who were either inconsistent like Greg Anthony or huge choke artists like John Starks. He carried a bunch of bums-- in the largest market and under the greatest media scrutiny-- and led them to the playoffs for 13 years in a row. And if it hadn't been for Jordan he would have won at least one title.

I'm a loyal NY Knicks fan here too. Let's be completely honest here as Knicks fans. It's amazing how too many Knicks fans leave Knicks management off the hook. They didn't secure that 2nd superstar around Patrick. And as much as I liked Oak, I sometimes shook my head in frustration on the amount of dumb bone-headed stuff Oakley used to do on the court. And get himself ejected from games when his team needed him on that floor.

So underrated it’s sad, I’m a New Yorker and I watched so many Knick games w Pat in the middle and just to set the record straight New Yorkers loved Patrick. Sure you had detractors who are never happy but the majority of fans loved his effort every night! People also forget he was the center piece of the Knicks, the pressure in New York in unreal and unmatched and I believe ppl should factor that in when making comparisons to anyone including Hakeem. Yes Hakeem had more moves and had tons of blocks but he played in a small market with less then half the pressure and was actually a small center which made him quicker then most. Patrick carried so many Knick teams and battled the NBA’s best including making it tuff on MJ the goat. He’s the man, thanks Pat we love ya

NYC Metro guys in '80's and '90's. Pat had nobody on his team. You put a Pippen on the Knicks and coached them differently and he'd a won 3 chips. Or if Bernard King didn't blow out the knee him and Patrick would have had a good chance at a win. Riley went for ultra-physical and brought in the Oakleys the Masons, etc. and sat Pat in a plodding post game. Hakeem did things Pat couldn't do but Pat brought things to the table Hakeem wasn't as good at. Even with a mediocre supporting cast Pat came up just short in '94 and if the immortal John Starks realized he was cold earlier than his 2-18 shooting, and passed the ball Knicks would have won (I remember Starks pulling up for a clanging missed 3 while on a 3-2 break late in that game). The league didn't get to see the best Ewing because of his team and how he was used.
