Ewing played very well in that championship against Olajuwon.
Watching the Knicks in the mid-90s was great, great sports theatre in New York.

Barkley and Malone both were playing in the years that Jordan sat out and Ewing got to the finals. They just lost to a better player in Olajuwon. What is interesting is that the Rockets beat Malone's Jazz and Barkley's Suns in BOTH title years.
