Eastern regional bias raises its head.

Honestly, if Robinson, Shaq, Duncan, Hakeem, Moses Malone, Walton (when healthy, not as a Celtic) played in NY... Gods. They would be considered Gods. Its regional prejudice which is understanable. Ewing was just flat out not at the level of these other players as a pro. No way. No how.

If Ewing had not played at Georgetown and done so well as a Collegian, he would not be thought of as highly. It is a given Ewing played hard every night, unlike Robinson. He should be admired for this. But talent wise... no way. No way. So I find it laughable.

This is coming from the same idiot that prounounced that Kevin Durant was not a great athlete. That he is/was a skinny kid who has a great fundamental offensive game.
