When Patrick Ewing came into the League from Georgetown in 1985, New Yorkers KNEW there was a great chance of becoming Champions. Patrick Ewing was a 7'0 Center that played like an animal! His presence in the paint was undeniable, and many players found that out!!When Ewing first put on the Kicks uniform, he was rockin' Nike sneakers. He would be seen in AF1's, Nike Court Force, and Delta Force kicks. In 1986, Adidas scooped him up, and put out the Ewing Hi-Top sneaker that is still a part of our sneaker culture this very day.
Ewing is the only player to ever play 1,000 games in a Knicks uniform. He is now an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic, coaching the man who broke his record for the most blocked shots in an NBA Finals game, Dwight Howard.
The NBA Finals, 1994 and 1998. Ewing led the Knicks into the Finals twice, losing to the Rockets, then to the Spurs. But what Ewing did for the City is unmatched, and his signature kicks will remain a big part of our culture forever. Cali "O" #Salute
