Patrick Ewing on MSG security: 'Everybody in this building should know who the hell I am'

It's a fine look if you spend 20+ years at a place basically building the damn place...

 

Ya it's nyc. Tons of people tall and in sweats in front of the Garden.

 

I spent a summer in NY living in a young couple's house. The Knicks were terrible. The guy knew that I was a Rockets fan and the Rockets were a rising team. He said, "I hope one day the Knicks will be good." Neither of us would guess that 10 years later, the two teams would meet in the NBA finals.

Dang, time flies.

 

The MSG security skipped their new employee orientation.

 

Ima b real with u, I am quite ignorant when it comes to the 90s players. All i knew was the Dream was a dominant god but everybody like riding the jordan train.

Sure Ewing has his height, sweats and his number might b on the banners. I just feel like the safer move would b to just do your job. Just saying, u dont want to b branded as the fool who think all black people look alike.

 

...but how many people do you know, that are 7 feet tall, wearing Georgetown apparel (most likely)? "All black people look alike" isn't even valid in this case, since most black men aren't 7 feet tall lol.

 

tbh i don't really know anyone 7 ft.

like i said again, if you aren't sure who's who. The safer bet is just to do your job. I get your reasoning and the odds of being brand "all black people look alike" is low when it comes to ewing. Im just saying i don't blame the security guard for doing his job.

Granted, if u r a knicks personnel, u should at least know the greats that played for your franchise, least u could do.

 

yeah, they should definitely have a section on “these are our HOFers”. They get VIP treatment.

 

The only thing he’s remembered for is being on posters with Hakeem. Lol!

 

You’re Olajuwons little lap dog

 

Sorry for the 30 second inconvenience to flash a credential to a minimum wage employee that is just doing his or her job.

Sorry we live in a world where security at events is important.

Not sorry you got schooled by Dream often times while fasting and left the NBA with no rings.

 

He is also the head coach of georgetown who was playing there.

 

Best times...

 

You should watch the 90's games. They're more entertaining. Ewing vs Hakeem vs Mourning vs Robinson, Jordan vs everybody, Rodman vs Malone, etc... It's where East meets West really.

 

Sure MSG security doing their jerbs, but his face is kinda famous over dere.

CFers know. Ewing was an assistant coach with the Rockets 2003-2006.

Security at the Toyota Center better recognize when the Dream visits.

 

I bet Earl Cureton would get cuffed and probed here.

 

not as catchy as,
“We might make a lot of money but, we also spend a lot of money.”
