Y'know, Patrick Ewing may have been considered a great big man by some, but not by me. He was pretty good, but nowhere near greatness. He wasn't particularly athletic, he wasn't particularly graceful, he wasn't particularly talented, he wasn't particularly smart (anyone remember the brilliant "We make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money " comment during the lockout? Or Ewing wearing glasses frames without the lenses to make himself look more intelligent during the negotiations?). I never liked the guy much as a player, and whenever I saw him interviewed, that sentiment was cemented. Now just the thought of him sitting on the Houston Rockets bench, sucking up all the oxygen in the arena with that two-car garage he calls a nose makes me wanna barf.
There is already a Ewing thread going on. http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60667
